Apple To Merge Apple IDs in iOS 5 Final

If you are a developer and using iOS 5 from quite sometime, you might have faced problems while entering different Apple IDs. According to Macrumors, the problem has been reported to Apple CEO, Tim Cook and he is already aware of the issue. Instantly after writing the mail, a call came from an Apple executive who confirmed that the company is looking forward to merge Apple IDs in future. The problem arises when you enter a different Apple ID to download the OTA update and then uses a separate Apple ID to make purchases. 

Currently, if you are on iOS 5, this scenario is not allowed. You wouldn’t be able to download  previous purchases from different Apple ID on the device. Through all these issues, we can conclude that Apple is in all probability to release next beta, that is, iOS 5 Beta 8 really soon. And if BGR report is to be believed, it would be the last beta followed by a Gold Master (GM) version on 23rd September. It is also expected that Apple will launch iPhone 5 at early October. Also, iOS 5 final will arrive on the same day of launch.
