Apple iOS 10 beta 5 download makes its way out to developers

 Apple

Apple Inc. has finally made iOS 10 beta 5 available for download for developers weeks after beta 4 was released.

As expected, several tweaks and improvements are included in the fifth and probably the last beta that will be released for the next iOS update. One of them is the inclusion of the new set of emojis.

According to the notes released by the Cupertino-based tech firm, the beta 5 of the iOS 10 fixed several issues found during the past four betas, including:

  • Binary Compatibility – third-party apps will now be allowed to play back music even without the device's built-in Music app.
  • App Store – the first authentication dialog box will no longer appear twice when testing In-App purchases in the sandbox.
  • Accessories – the Apple devices using the iOS 10 beta 5 will no longer panic when using the iPhone 6s Smart Battery Case.
  • Bluetooth – the occasional audio dropouts or skips will no longer appear when using the Bluetooth Low Energy-based hearing aids on the iPhone that is connected to an Apple Watch.
  • Wallet – the pass update banners will continue to work unless the past pass notifications were not cleared first from the Notification Center.
  • Messages – the photo thumbnails in Messages will no longer draw with incorrect zoom that could cause gray padding around the surrounding images.
  • Phone – the Dialer UI will no longer display "911 calling" instead of "911 Emergency call-calling" when doing a back-to-back Emergency CS 911 calls, as well as removing the speaker by default after using the speaker during a previous call.

The new iOS 10 beta 5 will also come out with an easier camera launch from the lockscreen and feature a smaller current date that can be found on the devices' homescreen.

The other fixed issues can be found in the notes released by Apple alongside the beta 5 update.
