i'll take that bet!
give me a break. you really think someone who develops ios software is incompitant enough not to realize how and when they updated an app? get out of here. not all of us pirate ios beta builds off the interwebs. some of us actually get them from apple for doing...guess what...beta testing...
i'm sure you can find this on your own if you are a registered developer, but apple specifically states you can not use beta software to publish apps to the app store. since you need xcode 5 dp (which is beta) to deploy ios 7 (which is also beta) apps...i think you get where i am going with this.
Read through your convo, and first..You do know that iOS 7 includes an auto update feature, meaning an app can update on your phone with you doing nothing to initiate it, right?
And also, several app updates have come through with mention of iOS 7 in the release notes. Since you're a developer, you must know then that there is a difference between implementing iOS 7 APIs (which you cannot do until iOS 7 is officially released), and optimizing current code to fix your app crashing on devices running iOS 7.
And, specifically regarding eBay, it crashed, then, one day, was updated and began to work. There were tons of posts immediately after the app update to let others know that the app now worked. And, guess what, this was mid-week, AKA was not caused by a beta update.
So..
