I just logged into Apple’s Developer section to download the new iPhone 3.2 SDK and to my surprise there is no build for Leopard, just a build for Snow Leopard. After digging around in the iPhone SDK Release notes I found out that Apple isn’t going to release a build for Leopard.

iPhone SDK 3.2 provides support for developing iPad applications and includes the complete set of Xcode 3.2.2 tools, compilers, and frameworks for creating applications for iPhone OS and Mac OS X. These tools include the Xcode IDE and the Instruments analysis tool among many others.

With this software you can develop applications that run on iPad using the included iPhone Simulator, which runs iPhone OS 3.2. Additionally, you can develop applications for iPhone and iPod touch, which run on iPhone OS 3.1.3. (This software does not include all of the iPhone OS 2.x SDKs.) Installing iPhone SDK 3.2 requires a Macintosh computer running Mac OS X 10.6.2 (Snow Leopard) or later.

This means if you want to write apps for the iPad you will need an Intel Mac and Snow Leopard. I would also assume that this means the new iPhone 4.0 SDK will be the same way.

Before I upgraded to the new iPhone 3.0 OS I updated my apps and tried to sync it to my iPhone and I got a little surprise. I got a popup stating that 3 of my apps are not compatible with my iPhone. After I upgraded to iPhone 3.0 OS everything is good. All my apps updated just fine. But if you have an iPod Touch and are not planning to install the latest OS make sure to check out your apps before you update them. If you update them they might not work on the older OS.

Apple has released the newest OS and SDK for the iPhone to the world. Got get it while it is hot. Let us know what you think of it. I’ll post a review a little later today.

With the release of iPhone 3.0 OS only a 2 days away Apple has started updating apps in the iTunes Apps Store  with the new ratings for apps. I was looking around in the games section and I found QL Bikini Beach Edition and it is Rated 12+ for “Infrequent/Mild Sexual Content or Nudity”. Is Apple going to open up the iPhone Apps section and allow Adult type content?
