Current rumors suggest that the iPhone 5S and iOS 7 are just a month away. As such, Facebook is prepping its SDK for the eventual release of the latest version of iOS and desires its developers to be ready besides.

In an update at the Facebook Developers blog, Jason Clark writes that Facebook is doing things a bit differently this time around with reference to its iOS development. Rather than anticipating the overall release to begin issuing bug fixes, Facebook is operating to deal with as many bugs as possible before launch. He also says that any developer engaged on iOS 7 should want to upgrade to Facebook SDK for iOS 3.7.1 or newer. You’ll grab that here.

Alongside the changes to its iOS development, Clark also announced some changes to Facebook’s platform policies. For starters, developers are not any longer required to manage promotions only within apps. They are able to now send out promotions on Page Timelines and Facebook Web apps. Obviously, you continue to can’t administer promotions on personal Timelines.

The other policy change allows developers to make use of user data in advertisements. Facebook recently just settled a lawsuit regarding this very issue so the social network now says that developers must obtain explicit permission from users to apply their data in advertisements.

To learn all about these new changes, look into Facebook’s very informative video at the subject:
