Apple seeds OS X Lion 10.7.3 build 11D50 to developers

Apple seeded another build of Mac OS X 10.7.3 to developers— this time with a build number of 11D50. Apple, again, said that no known issues are present in the build, but it did tell developers to focus on iCloud Document Storage, Address Book, iCal, Mail, Spotlight, and Safari. With no known issues present in the last few builds, it looks like Apple is taking its time to test OS X 10.7.3 and ensure it is a stable release for customers.
