• In some cases, not all devices associated with an Apple ID will pair successfully. These devices will be unable to use Handoff, Phone calls, or Instant HotSpot.

• When using a Mac, Handoff may sometimes stop showing icons on other iOS and OS X devices.

• Handoff-based Bluetooth connections between devices may stop working after trying to use Handoff.

• In some cases, using Handoff with Safari will result in an old URL being resumed instead of the current URL.

• Phone calls to and from the Mac may sometimes not complete or send and receive audio.

Notes

• iCloud Documents & Data created with Developer Preview 1 will be deleted from the servers at some point during the beta period. Your devices using Developer Preview 1 will maintain copies of those deleted iCloud Documents & Data. After the server deletes that data, all iCloud Documents & Data you previously used on OS X v10.9 and earlier or iOS 7 and earlier will be copied on the server over to the OS X v10.10/iOS 8 version of iCloud Documents & Data. Your devices using Developer Preview 1 will then re-upload their copies to the servers. If you delete those copies on your Mac before they are uploaded to the servers, and if you don’t have a backup of them, those documents will be lost. Documents and data managed on earlier releases of OS X and iOS will not be affected by any of this.

• The Web UI for managing iCloud Documents & Data does not show the documents and data managed by systems running Developer Preview 1. Documents and data synced with previous operating systems will be displayed.

• Changes to iCloud Documents & Data in Pages, Numbers, and Keynote on Macs using OS X v10.10 Developer Preview are only available on other devices using OS X v10.10 Developer Preview or iOS 8.0 beta. Any changes from devices using earlier versions of OS X or iOS will not be available. Changes will also not be visible in Pages, Numbers, and Keynote on iCloud.com.

Known Issues

• Finder may spin after adding a large number of items to iCloud Drive.

Known Issues

• AVFoundation changes the way some ID3 metadata values are represented as AVMetadataItems for binaries that are linked with the Developer Preview 1 SDK.

Known Issues

• In some cases, multi-word script terminology is not properly mapped to JavaScript identifiers by the runtime, and so the properties supported in the runtime do not always match the properties that are documented.
