Apple released the first update for the developer preview versions of the operating systems it showed off two weeks ago at its Worldwide Developer Conference. Updates for iOS 11, watchOS 4, tvOS 11, and macOS High Sierra all rolled out at the same time Wednesday afternoon.
Apple unveiled the new operating system versions at WWDC in San Jose on June 5th and released the first developer previews that same day. Apple typically releases the first developer preview update for the betas about 15 days later, so these are right on schedule.

Does iOS 11 fix the bug where some Safari cookies can not be deleted?
