iPhone SDK Build Update Includes iPhone OS 2.0 (Instead Of 1.2)

March 28th, 2008

Apple have released a new build of the iPhone Software Development Kit which is now available to developers. The new build includes an emulator that runs iPhone OS 2.0 build 5A225c (the previous build of the SDK included iPhone OS 1.2 build 5A147).

Other additions to the new build include much-awaited support for building iPhone user interfaces via the Xcode Interface Builder tool. The Xcode tool allows iPhone developers to graphically design elements using the drag-and-drop motion, and also the ability to then link these graphical controls to written source code.

iPhone OS 2.0 build 5A225c also includes a series of code handling changes which utilizes an updated version of WebKit (build 525.15) for page rendering in Safari.

It is expected that a new downloadable edition of iPhone OS 2.0 will be made available shortyl to members of the iPhone developer program
