iOS 8 will be available Wednesday, September 17 for everyone, but developers can download the final version of iOS 8, barring any major bugs, today.
The gold master (GM) seed is now available on the Apple Developer website, but remember you cannot update via OTA for a GM seed. With previous gold master seeds, a developer accounts not needed to install iOS, however we have not tested this on iOS 8. Either way, we recommend you wait until the official release on September 17.
The new GM build is 12A365, while the previous seed was 12A4345d.
i am using ios 8 gold masters no0w what do i do when the official release is out? do i get an over the air update from gold masters? what will happen and also will it expire
The solution for me was:
Plug the iphone to a PC with itunes. Put iphone in DFU. Restore pressing Shift and select the iOS 8 golden master. After that, once installed, plug into my Mac with Yosemite and restore my last backup (from yesterday).
This should work.
Sorry for my english
I downloaded the GM on my MAC with my developer account, went to itunes to restore and my iphone 5S go stuck on itunes logo and iTunes crashes.
Cant connect my iphone to itunes, it crashes at once
Didnt have any issues with all the previous beta's,
Anyone having same issue?
