The New Stuff

Apple releases iOS 6.1 beta to developers

It looks like iOS 6.1 is on its way with the first beta arriving to developers. The update is expected to arrive sometime after the holidays with Xcode 4.6 preview for developers to tinker with. The codename for the build is "Build 10B5095f" which has been seen on Apple's official site. 

New tools for making Maps

The most notable new tool is a class called "MKLocalSearch" for the Map Kit framework. It lets programs "search for map-based addresses and points of interest." It lets developers enter placename information and portions of address and have search returns that match the info and provide additional data. 


Example

An example given by Apple was if a user searched for "coffee," the new tool would generate returns with the location of local coffeeshops and provide extra info on each java joint. 

iOS 6.0.1

The release of iOS 6.0.1 which fixed many important bugs that needed to be addressed.
Those hoping that Apple Maps would be fixed during the incremental update should continue to hold their breath. Many users have been upset with the inaccurate and missing data in the navigation app Apple launched during iOS 6 to replace Google Maps
