From May 1, the App Store will no longer support applications that use UDID (a unique device identifier). Anyone who does not have time to abandon it and switch to an alternative solution will have a “path ordered” in iTunes.

According to the 9to5mac resource, Apple has started testing the first update to iOS 6, which will fix a number of fatal errors of the latest version of the axis.

A little over a week ago, we wrote that in just 24 hours since the release of iOS 6, 15% of Apple devices were installed. The other day it became known that a week after the release of the new version of the platform was on 60% of the iPhone and 41% of the iPad.

The most interesting articles and materials from App2Top last week: Oleg Pridyuk talks about why you need to work on Unity; Russian developers criticize the new version of iOS; together we analyze the update by the bones; and Aveden experts assure that the ranking algorithm in iOS 6 has changed insignificantly after the update. 

With the release of the new iOS, Apple has updated its online app store. We asked our readers, developers and publishers of mobile apps, to share their opinions about iOS 6. 

Experts from the App Annie company claim that in iOS 6, the algorithm for ranking applications in the tops has been greatly changed. 

The analytical company On Device conducted a study in order to track the degree of satisfaction of users of the new iOS in comparison with previous OS releases.

TechCrunch, together with the analytical company aveden, tried to figure out how much the mechanism for ranking applications has changed in the new version of Apple’s mobile OS.

Today, the company presented official data on the results of iPhone 5 sales and the number of downloads of the updated iOS 6.

Not everyone was happy about the App Store changes in the sixth version of iOS 6. According to Chris Newman, executive director of Lightwood Games, for independent companies, updates in the Apple app store are a real disaster. 

Last night, Apple opened access to download iOS 6. Users of iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPad 2 tablets and the new iPad can update the operating system to the new version of iOS.

On September 19, the final version of iOS 6 will be available for download. There are quite a lot of key changes, not counting the design: updated search, rejection of UDID, improved Siri, the appearance of the Passbook application, new maps. But for mobile developers, the main innovation will certainly be the deep integration of iOS 6 with Facebook.

Apple has repeatedly warned developers about its plans to abandon UDID in order to protect personal data. And now the “miracle” has happened. In the sixth iOS, it will be replaced by IFA (identifierForAdvertising). 

Apple said that the user will no longer need to enter the password from his ID when downloading free apps.

There is information that Apple will present its iOS 6 beta 3 to developers today. Recall that the company announced the 6th version of the OS at the WWDC conference last month.
