What’s New in iOS 17.5 Beta 1?A Step Forward in Mobile Operating Systems

Apple’s latest software update, iOS 17.5 beta 1, introduces several new features and design tweaks for developers. After a quiet period with no new beta releases, this update brings notable changes, particularly for those in the European Union with the introduction of web installation for apps. This allows developers to distribute their iOS apps directly from their websites, under new App Store business terms.

Web Installation in the EU

A major addition that permits developers to offer iOS apps through their websites, adhering to Apple’s notarization guidelines and the requirement of registering the website domain in App Store Connect.

Design Changes

Small yet significant design modifications are visible in the Apple Books app, the Settings app, and the Podcasts widget, each enhancing the user interface for a more streamlined experience.

New Anti-stalking System for Accessories

Building on efforts to combat unwanted tracking, iOS 17.5 incorporates a system to identify and disable non-Apple or non-Find My certified tracking accessories, reflecting Apple’s ongoing commitment to user privacy.

MDM Update for Beta Version Enforcement

For Managed Device Management users, the update allows the enforcement of a beta version during automated device enrollment, facilitating better control over the device setup process.

These updates signal Apple’s adaptation to regulatory requirements in the European Union and its continuous effort to refine the iOS experience. As iOS 17.5 progresses toward a public release expected in mid-to-late May, it represents the final iteration before the anticipated unveiling of iOS 18 at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in June.
