Today (Feb 4th) at 14:00 UTC we published an update to the Early Access Build Targets. These now match the Sailfish OS release 4.0.1.45 (Koli).

If you have an older version of the Early Access Build Targets installed, you should see an update notification in the Sailfish SDK soon.

Please, read the following notes about the Early Access Build Targets:

  • The Early Access Build Targets match the latest Sailfish OS version released to Early Access users
  • By using the Early Access Build Targets developers can test their Sailfish OS apps about a week before the Sailfish OS release is made public
  • During the early access time the Early Access Build Targets should not be used for submitting apps to the Jolla Harbour
  • Installation is done by selecting “Sailfish SDK > Sailfish OS Build Targets > SailfishOS-ea-<arch>” components inside the SDK Installer/Maintenance Tool

If you have any questions, feel free to either write it up here in https://forum.sailfishos.org/ or send an e-mail to developer-care at jolla.com.
