SDK Update: New Gestures Implementations & No More Camera Hints
March 11, 2010
Just two weeks since the last update, Apple released last night a new beta version of the iPhone OS SDK. Unlike the previous ones however, this fourth beta doesn't seem to be bringing much for us to speculate about.
The main novelty, if we can call it one, is the presence of some hints of an official implementation for new touch gestures. Nothing major, since these were already long documented by Apple and possible with some fiddling. They will however make it much easier for developers to enhance their apps with gestures like triple tap, long tap or rotate.
Lastly, the camera references have now disappeared, and the rest of the update seems to focus on fixing some minor bugs, not that surprising getting that close to the iPad's launch.
