Registered developers can download the beta version via OTA after installing the correct profile from the Apple Developer Center.
A few minutes ago, Apple released the first beta of iOS 14.5 and iPadOS 14.5 for developers.
The update is free to download and is available over-the-air on all eligible devices in the Settings app. To access the new software just go to Settings> General> Software Update.
In iOS 14.5, Apple will begin enforcing its App Tracking Transparency Privacy feature, which will force app developers to ask for and receive a user’s permission to access their random advertising identifier (known as IDFA) to track its activity on apps and websites.
In the future, when an app wants to access the IDFA, users will see a message with options to accept or not the tracking. These features have already been implemented in iOS 14 and are available to developers, but with iOS 14.5 they become mandatory.
When a user does not agree to be tracked it will prevent the app developer from accessing the IDFA. In addition, developers will also need to respect the user’s tracking preferences and refrain from using other methods to track them. if they fail to comply with these rules, Apple will remove the app from the Store. Tracking preferences can be managed by going to Settings> Privacy> Tracking.
We are already downloading and installing new versions of the various software. As soon as we complete the operation we will start publishing new articles with all the news and bug fixes added in this beta 1. Stay tuned!
