Apple iOS 13.5 beta with COVID-19 exposure notification

Apple iOS 13.5 beta now out

Apple iOS 13.5 beta has a new COVID-19 exposure notification API that users can opt-in or out to track their virus exposure. Other developers can also take advantage of this  API as well when writing apps.

With this new API being added, this new iOS beta is using a different SDK than iOS 13.4 hence it is now called 13.5. It is also easier to unlock via Face ID even when you are wearing a mask. Although it does not unlock outright, once your iPhone detects you are wearing a mask the passcode keypad will pop up immediately.

If you are enrolled in the Apple Beta Program, you are going to be able to download this beta update.
