Just a few weeks after its SDK 3.0 for iOS reached beta (http://www.engadget.com/2012/07/11/facebook-sdk-3-0-beta-for-ios-now-available-to-download/), the new developer tool has surfaced in a polished version. As it's shipping, the SDK continues to emphasize a more iOS-native experience, better API support and slicker session management. Any iOS 6 integration (http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/11/apple-integrates-facebook-into-ios-6-app-store-macs/) will still have to wait until Apple finishes its software update; Facebook is keeping a separate beta track active to serve forward-thinking developers. The social network's regular members aren't quite getting the same reward, however. The expanded app support is being followed just as quickly by a mobile ad beta. While Facebook is still sparing us (http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/05/facebook-lets-advertisers-easily-buy-mobile-only-ads/) from a full-bore marketing assault, it's letting developers pitch their Android and iOS apps from Facebook's mobile portals, with a quick hop to the relevant app store if the title isn't already loaded. While there's no estimated completion date, we have a feeling that this is one Facebook beta where most customers won't mind a delay or two... or ten.
