Immediately after the presentation of the new iPhones, Apple released the last, 'almost-sharp' build of iOS 7 (the so-called Golden Master) to registered developers on the developer portal developer.apple.com. You can download it on the portal, but not yet on devices with the previous beta version 6 (at the time of writing the article). Along with iOS 7 GM, Apple released the GM version of the Xcode 5 Developer Preview development environment.

In connection with the transition to 64-bit architecture in the new iPhone 5S, Apple has also prepared a '64-Bit Transition Guide for Cocoa Touch' for developers - which should make this big step easier for developers forward. Although this change may seem uninteresting, the opposite is true - personal computers began this transition barely a decade ago, and to this day some operating systems struggle with the incompatibility of 64 and 32-Bit versions. So we will hope that Apple has prepared everything for the iOS ecosystem better.

The public release of iOS 7 will be released on September 18.
