Apple ask to test Push Notification service

I too got the notification...

to test AP News app for Push Notification

 

It sounds like a great idea, apart from the problem that you can only redeem the code on the US store with a US account. boo

 

Did only a certain amount of devs get this? I got nothing.

 

Yeah that US store only thing is a real PITA, however it is massively easy to open a US account from another country.

I have the app installed and push turned on. Haven't had it make a peep yet though, but i guess i still have 46 hours to go!!

 

iPhone is stuck on apple logo after installing AP push app

Hey guys, Im a registered developer and like all of you, received the email from Apple in regards to downloading the "push" app from the App store. Well I downloaded the app and now my phone will not reboot. It is suck on the apple logo and I dont know how to continue from here. Ive tried several times rebooting but to no avail. Any help?

 

I didn't.

 

I haven't got anything either...im still hoping my name is at the end of the list and I will eventually get this email...

Any developer outside the US not using their code? Let me know...would love to try it out..

 

Me too. I have a US account.

 

Me too

Anyone with a code they are not using?...I would love to try it out

 

i just got sent the code too, but i dont have a US account this is BULL, why is this only to the US, apple are such a bunch of A HOLES

 

I Loaded It On My Device, And It's Working Great! I Have Received Several Pushed Alerts Already.......

Seems Like 3.0 Is Getting Close!!

I got the email when I was away from my computer and tried to redeem the code on my phone through the iTMS app....it said I did it correctly and to go into iTunes when I was at my computer and click "Check for Available Downloads" and it would download properly. The problem is that when I check for any available downloads, iTunes says I have none. I tried re-redeeming the code from the desktop iTunes and it says the code has already been redeemed. I'm stuck in App Store limbo.

Ironic that using the iPhone to redeem a code for an iPhone app has caused an issue.

 

Is the code the same for everyone? If so, what is it?

 

Efice:
I did the same thing as you. But I haven't gotten to my computer yet. But I went to my last page of apps and I saw the AP news app there. I did redeem it using the iTunes on my phone.

 

I didn't get an email - and I'm a registered developer too.

 

What is the name of the app? i cant find it...I have a US account. I cant find any push email apps

 

hmmm...you're right. It's there for me too. I didn't even notice it because it created a new page of apps for me.

 

Can you share in detail what it's like? Does the phone vibrate and a badge pop up on the AP app? When you open the app does it first show the notification etc.

Thanks!

 

What kind were they? Badges, popups, sounds?

 

they show up like text message notifications..phone vibrates and you think you have a text..but its a push notification..i got one about bill clinton or something

 

great due to the testing of this app, we now know we won't see a new beta update till next week

 

You can turn off the parts you don't like. For instance, I only have the badges on.

Yup, I was thinking the same thing. It's a damn shame too, considering what a steaming pile of **** beta 5 is ...
