Apple Posts iOS 5 Golden Master Seed for Developers

With the announcement of an October 12 ship date for iOS 5, Apple today posted the Golden Master (GM) release of iOS 5 to developers this afternoon, with a build number of 9A334.

Apple notes that users "must use iTunes 10.5 beta 7 to install iOS 5 GM seed on your devices. iOS 5 GM seed is not available via over the air software update" and encourages users to back up their devices via iCloud before installing the GM.

Apple posted a GM seed of Xcode 4.2 as well, and notes that the GM seed "can now be used to submit iOS 5 applications to the App Store for review."

If we do a restore to iOS 5 because of the 3002 error, will we be able to bring our 4.3.5 backups onto iOS 5 or is it all lost?

Back up, restore, then restore from back up. Good to go.

Beta 9 should work. They call out beta 7 since that's the highest version that everyone has(windows stops at 7. Mac goes up to 9).

Completed the install fine with beta 9. Beta 7 would obviously be the minimum requirement.

VZW iPhone 4 here currently running 4.2.8 jailbroken and using 10.5 beta 9 on a mac... it keeps getting to the point where it verifies with apple then says device is not eligible... I'm not registered as a dev.. i tried in DFU mode as well.. anyone else having this issue??

I'm getting the same error on my wifi iPad 2 as well... (also jailbroken but on 4.3.3)

Check your hosts file. Probably messed up due to TinyUmbrella.
