Apple releases iOS 11.4 beta 2 with more than just ClassKit

Recently, Apple released iOS 11.4 beta 2. Two weeks ago, Apple released iOS 11.4 beta 1 after the release of the new iPad, claiming to have added support for ClassKit, but in the actual iOS 11.4 beta 2, we seem to see more features added.

First, let's introduce ClassKit, a framework specially developed for educational app development. Through it, Schoolwork on the new iPad can help students and teachers better manage homework and learning progress. Many third-party educational apps can also achieve similar functions, with a total of 200,000. Developers can also build their own apps through the ClassKit framework, and they have a lot of permissions, so functions such as assigning homework and checking student progress can be easily achieved.

And in iOS 11.4, Apple added back the features that were previously removed from the iOS 11.3 beta version:

• iMessages chat history can be stored in iCloud again in iOS 11.4, so you can sync your chat information across devices;
• AirPlay 2 is back too. With AirPlay 2, users can play a content on Apple TV in multiple rooms at the same time, and Apple TV is included in the "Home app";
• In the beta1 version, HomePod provided stereo function, but it was not usable because the HomePod software had not been upgraded at the same time, so Apple deleted this feature in beta 2.

Apart from this, there are no more features added to iOS 11.4 beta2, but if you haven't upgraded to iOS 11.3 yet, it is recommended to upgrade, because in addition to the addition of the "Battery Health" function (which can monitor battery loss and turn off performance restrictions), Business Chat, ARkit1.***nimoji X and the new Health App all have a good experience, and bugs and system performance have also been improved.

***, Apple also added exclusive wallpapers for the iPhone 8/8 Plus Red Special Edition in iOS 11.4 beta 2. Registered developers can download the new iOS 11.4 beta from Apple's Developer Center, or install the relevant configuration file and then upgrade through the beta version OTA push.
