Beta testing iPhone apps

Does anyone know if Apple has made any provision for beta testing iPhone apps? In other words, once my app is ready for beta testing, is there a mechanism to get it to testers (or to allow testers to install it if I get it to them)?
I'm also curious how they're planning on allowing us to get review copies out, although I suppose it could be the same thing.

I still haven't been accepted to the dev program, but I was under the impression that you can install on upto 5 devices. I plan to get a couple extra devices to install on and then lend them out to testers. Its not a huge beta program (4 people at a time max) but its certainly better than nothing.

  • Why are Ipod Apps better than Iphone Apps?

    There are some really nice apps available to the ipod touch that aren't available to the Iphone. Go search Ipod apps in the Itunes store and you will see what I am talking about. How come the same apps aren't available for both devices?

    oops, they are not on the touch they are for the nano, and reg ipod. Still I am sure there is a way to develope them for the iphone.

  • What is the earliest device to realistically test iPhone apps on?

    I am aware that many of the older devices do not have camera's or flash.  However, if a dev creates a 'generic' app that does not utilize those features, what device should he/she realistically  'target' for his app development?  We can set our Deployment for iOS 3.1 or whatever, but at the end of the day, that may not make much sense without having some factual statitstic's to rely on.
    I would like to purchase an older 'device' to test app's on, such as a 2nd gen iPod (running iOS 3.1), to test with.  But, not knowing how many of those devices are still being used, is that a good device to purchase and test with?  I'd hate to purchase one only to discover that I should have purchased a later model.
    All comments and suggestions are most welcome.
    Thanks.

    Do you want to test 3.1.x regardless of device ...or...just non-camera devices regardless of iOS version? Which of those meets your definition of 'broader audience'?
    I just want to test on non-camera/torch devices.  My original app is a gratuity calculator which includes a flashlight and a magnifying glass.  As mentioned above, the Lite version will only have the gratutity calculator.  So, my Lite goal is to reach as many folks as I can with that particular configuration.

    You can build an app that detects flash and camera and hides them (UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities), but to also do 3.x gets complicated. You may want to build an app that doesn't go below 4.x, and deals with camera/flash missing and simply find someone to test for you. The current simulator has neither
    Glad you brought this up because I set the 'Capabilities' to Camera only and the app would not even run on my iP4.  All Xcode4 said was 'Finished running on ...'.  Re-booting both my iMac and Xcode did nothing to change this.  Never figured that out, but because I am targeting only the iP4, I am no longer worried about this, so I removed those build specs. My current Deployment target is 4.0, but I can change that.  Thanks for your comments in this regard.
    I appreciate the help.

  • Looking for Connection iPhone beta test users

    The Connection tools team is looking to release it’s first iPhone application for user based administration access. The app is built on top of the new REST based API’s for user access (as opposed to the full administrator CUPI access) and allows you to do basic account configuration items for greetings, transfer options, voice name, private lists and a few other items. It’s currently limited to English only.
    If you have an iPhone (or iPod Touch or iPad) running iOS 4.1 or later and are running against Connection 8.6 and would like to beta test the app, email me directly at [email protected]
    Thanks.

  • IOS App Beta testing

    Hi there,
    I am new in these communities, so I would appreciate any help possible.
    My app is close to being submitted for approval, but I am currently looking for help with beta testing the app.
    Can someone help me with the process/options I have?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards.

    There's no official way, but many websites offer the service:
    - to distribute your beta over the air if you already know your Beta-testers
    - to find beta-testers and have them test your app.
    Some are free, but the result in terms of quality is not ensured, others can find great beta testers for you but they are paid service (price can vary a lot).
    You can type in any search engine the keywords about that, and you should find what you're looking for !
    (for instance: "ios app review beta test")

  • Giving your UUID away for beta testing.

    Are there any reasons not to provide your UUID in order for others to beta test your app?
    What does the UUID enable for someone else that they can then run your app? I always see the UUID blocked out in examples as if it is a security concern.

    I see people do the same thing with license plates on auto related forums. Since it uniquely identifies that one device I guess there is a possibility that somehow, somewhere someone could use it to impersonate the device. I use the UDID to identify devices for a Web Service I have built. I have security measures in place so that it would be very difficult for someone to impersonate my client software however so UDID spoofing is really not an issue for my application.

  • I was an apple beta tester for iOS7 and now my iPhone 5 shut down, it's unresponsive it gets recognized by iTunes when plugged into the computer but that's it. Since I was a beta tester is there any way to fix my iPhone??

    Are you still running iOS 7 bet?. If so go to the private developer section for help. We cannot help you here with beta software.

  • Iam searching for test cases specific to iPhone apps

    Please help me out on writing Test cases specific to iPhone apps
    Thankyou

    I think I had the same problem. iTunes was reporting (in the side bar and at the bottom of the applications view) that there were X application updates but when I clicked it, it showed either none or only a couple of them.
    The problem was that iTunes checks if there are any updates to the applications you have installed (in your iTunes or iPhone) but when you go to see the updates, it logs in your iTunes account and displays the updates that are purchased with this specific account. Of course when you use for some reason two different accounts (e.g. just got a MobileMe account and want to use this instead of your previous), you will get different updates available to each account but the total number of updates will be displayed in various locations (sidebar, apps pane, iPhone app store icon badge).
    The only work-around I found was to logout from one account, login with the other, do the updates and log back in to the one I currently use.

  • Thanks for Beta testing the iPhone. Let me know when you're happy with it.

    I am so happy that Fresno was sold out of iPhones the day I went to buy one. Since then, I have been reading about all the problems the phones are having, and I'm glad I didn't get one. I am a loyal Mac user and look forward to owning an iPhone. I'm just glad there are people like you willing to beta test for Apple, and help them work out all the bugs. When you can hear the phone, visit flash websites, watch internet movies, and use a yahoo account successfully, sign me up. Until then, thanks for you hard work and patience.

    You are 100% correct in calling this a Beta version.
    I was a Q/A engineer for Intuit and Srint gave us
    phone to Beta test for them when they first came out.
    I have to say it was hard to find a funtion with a
    "bug" in it. Wheras it is hard to find a feature in
    the I-Phone that is bug free. I would have to say the
    Weather feature works well... Its those other seldom
    used features like the phone, calendar, contacts, and
    it web are still in step one beta!! And foget aobut
    support... I am still waiting on a return call from
    engineering for 5 days now.
    Why would Sprint/Intuit give you the iPhone to test? It isn't even on their network much less a CDMA phone.

  • How many devices do you test before releasing your iphone app

    Hi,
    Just want to get an idea about how many devices do you test before releasing your iphone app. I am currently developing on iphone 2.5G. Do I need to test my app on iphone 3G and ipod touch? Are there any difference? My app does not depends on network speed.
    thanks,
    ff

    It's not a bad idea to test on whatever you can but it's not necessarily required. You do have to make sure you're not doing anything that can't be done on all devices. (i.e. access camera in Touch, assume GPS, etc)

  • IPhone App Testing

    I am having an iPhone app developed, and the developer is asking for my Apple Credentials and UDID of my devices. Is this normal practice for testing, and distributing iPhone apps?

    The developer only needs your UDID so he can send you Ad-Hoc builds of your app which you can then install via iTunes.
    He does not need nor should you ever give him (or anyone else) your Apple ID and password.

  • When I try to test my app the IPhone says "'%app title%' failed to install."

    When I try to test my app the IPhone says " '%app title%' failed to install."
    How do I fix this?
    My install method is:
    * Open ITunes.
    * Drag my app to the IPhone.
    * Ta-da the IPhone says "'%app title%' failed to instal."
    Has anyone had this problem? If so how did you fix it?
    Thanks!

    You might have to check the prov profile and type of your certificate. The error you stated might arise in following cases.
    Certificate id and app ID (in the app.xml) does not match.
    The certificate and prov profile should match the cause. Distribution / Testing.
    Select suitable option while packaging. Adhoc / App store distribution.
    Make sure the correct device UDID was used for your certificate.
    I went wrong in (2) when I built my first app which costed me the same error as yours.
    I felt FB could have been more organized in this process. I felt XCODE edged over FB in this.
