In the last few hours Apple has just seeded the third beta of iOS 8.2 and it is currently available for download for developers. The release comes a week after the second iOS 8.2 beta, and follows last week’s public launch of iOS 8.1.2, which brought about a fix for disappearing ringtones.
iOS 8.2 beta 3 is compatible with iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPhone 5c, iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPad Air 2, iPad mini 3, iPad 2, iPad (third-generation), iPad (fourth-generation), iPad Air, iPad Air 2, iPad mini, iPad mini 2, iPad mini 3 and iPod touch (fifth-generation).
iOS 8.2 adds support for WatchKit, the developer SDK for the Apple Watch. Developers can make Glances, Notifications and WatchKit apps with the new SDK.
The beta release is available as an Over-the-air (OTA) update on devices running iOS 8.2 beta 2, and is available on the Dev Center as well. Here are the direct download links to the firmware (Note that you need to be a registered iOS developer to download these files):
