Apple Launches New iOS Beta Testing Program, Seeds iOS 8.3 to Testers

[rshroff2]

I've got an email from apple:
"Thank you for participating in the OS X Beta Program. For the first time ever, we are broadening the program to include the all-new iOS Beta."

Good to know, now I don't have to keep a watch out for the iOS tab to appear on the AppleSeed page!

I got it too, here in Pittsburgh

 

[apple.snapple]

I can't find the iOS beta anywhere on that page.
Additionally, I downloaded the beta .dmg for 10.10.3 and App Store is showing no updates...

I guess I lose all around, eh?

 

[kwokaaron]

Kinda sad it's not showing up for lots of people. Oh well, I was hoping for an iOS 9 beta anyway.

 

[Rafagon]

No, thanks, Apple. Your final release versions are buggy enough.

McLean Va. Downloading as we "speak"

Logged on to the Appleseed site clicked a box to enroll, downloaded the new profile on my phone and I have 2 mins remaining.

No iOS Tab in Romania also.

 

[Nermal]

No, it's beta 1 which then updates to beta 3.

No. It's "beta 1" but has the same build number as the "beta 3" released to developers. There are currently no further updates once you've installed public beta 1.

not seeing the enroll or anything for iOS

Just got word that it's slowly appearing for everyone. My friend just tried again and it randomly showed up.

Is This It? See Link Below...

Forgive me if I'm incorrect, newbie here:

https://developer.apple.com/xcode/downloads/

Then the following link:

Xcode 6.3 beta 3, including iOS 8.3 SDK with Swift 1.2

Just throwin' it out

Kinda glad they do this with a slow role out.

It will be interesting to see how this public beta testing goes.

Developers kinda know what to expect and can recognize an OS issue or an app issue, or even none issues based on the fact that an app has not been updated for the new release yet.

 

[Alphazoid]

*sigh* ...and the servers are now getting hammered.

Installed and running smoothly here in France

Kinda glad they do this with a slow role out.

Kinda sucks if it is limited and randomly chosen.

 

[Northgrove]

Installed and running smoothly here in France

Thanks for that info. With all these reports, I was starting to doubt it was an international rollout. I'll keep waiting here...

No. It's "beta 1" but has the same build number as the "beta 3" released to developers. There are currently no further updates once you've installed public beta 1.

Then what's the issue?

 

[kaiseryeahhh]

In Spain nothing...

 

[MrLoL]

Nothing for me in France

 

[jetjaguar]

nothing here

 

[vjobs]

Still nothing in the Netherlands...

 

[aabaaf]

Random or Slow Rollout

Kinda sucks if it is limited and randomly chosen.

I signed up for the program a few days ago. Is it truly random like some have said, or is it just taking forever to rollout? That way I don't just keep hitting refresh, and logging in/out all day/night.

Nothing here in New Zealand but then I don't really have a device to test it on. All of our spares here at work are iPhone 4 models.

No, those are developer tools for 8.3. It is not the build.

Guys I just got word from Apple that they have stopped the beta invites as they were limited, and may or may not invite others in future iOS versions. Don't kill the messenger
