Apple Now Field Testing iOS 5 for App Store Apps

App Store developer FutureTap has just received their first crash report from an iOS 5.0 device indicating that Apple has begun field testing its upcoming operating system. The application apparently crashed in iOS 5 due to the MKUserLocationBreadCrumb. Developer Will Strafach (Chronic) informed 9to5Mac that this API relates to the iOS maps and location functionality. Just received the first iOS 5.0 crash report. MKUserLocationBreadCrumb sounds interesting. Apple is expected to unveil iOS 5.0 at its WWDC 2011 Developer Conference.

Garageband for iPad ported to iPhone 4 [video]

The folks at 9to5Mac received a video and some screenshots of Garageband for iPad running on the iPhone 4 from one of their readers. It was further told that Garageband for iPad was run on iPhone 4 using a hack that requires a jailbroken device. The process involves transferring the GarageBand application with changed metadata to an iPhone 4 via OpenSSH.

This obviously in’t the perfect solution as Garageband isn’t formatted for a slightly lower iPhone 4 resolution but it works well enough. Here are some of the screenshots:

Hood, The old SBSettings like tweak goes open-source.

Of course you remember Ripdev! And if you do then you  definitely know Hood. The  neat little SBSettings like tweak from the OS 2.x days. And for those who don’t, Ripdev is the company that is associated with the development of Installer, which is arguably the first iPhone app store, much before Apple’s official iPhone AppStore came about and before Cydia took over as the leading jailbreak app store. Well history apart.

We’ve learned from a tweet from Ripdev saying Hood was made open-source. Ripdev tweeted :

Well for some of the folks this might be an exciting news as they might have found something to work on and carry forward while for others this may just be a regular post. For now all we can say is that we miss Ripdev.

What packages from Ripdev have you used and think should be porte to latest iOS firmwares? Leave your answers in the comments.
