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

For those having difficulties finding the iOS beta on https://appleseed.apple.com/sp/betaprogram/, do you have multiple Apple IDs? I have two IDs (one for purchases and another for iCloud - shame these can't be merged, but that's another story). I signed up for the Yosemite beta using the purchases ID but I had to sign in to the beta program using the iCloud ID for the iOS beta to show up.
I did eventually receive the email invitation, but I could obtain the iOS beta before this my using the iCloud ID to log in.

No problem here with that issue on my iPad Air nor iPhone 6+. Looks like something went wrong when you updated.
I should have this first!
It is not fair!
I still do not have access.
What is it you people wanna try anyway? CarPlay? You do not have a CarPlay-car anyway.
I, on the other hand, am Swedish. I finally can use Siri in my mother-toung.
I been part of OS X public beta testing since day one. I have sent several bug reports. Still, I am not allowed to take part.
Stupid Apple!
Just to avoid hate response from those who did not understand.
I am Swedish, the rest was ironically meant.

I wonder if you need a iCloud.com email to participate? I sign into myid using a Gmail email address...
I signed in with my Gmail and got the iOS beta, so thats not the issue.

you can try to go directly from your ios device to: http://appleseed.apple.com/profile
maybe it will work for you, in my case this was enough to receive beta ios on second device, although I enrolled yesterday through beta program site...
Thank you!
However, I have done this endless of times the last 19 hours.
Plus, switching location of my VPN-server, restarting the iOS device, etc etc
I´m simply not on the invitation list it looks like.
Guess it is lottery. Hopefully we all get a winning ticket sooner or later...

Yeah im starting to think it's just random. My friends didn't get the invite but I did. We all had the OSX beta and all of us had left som feedback to Apple.
Im the only one that got the beta. Och siri funkar riktigt bra på Svenska, är riktigt imponerad!
You could always try =)
These are the instructions:
1.
Archive an iOS backup.
Please note that you are about to install beta software. Always back up your data and files before installing beta versions of iOS. We recommend you do an iTunes backup and archive it before installing the iOS beta.
Archive an iOS backup with iTunes
2.From your iOS device, navigate to appleseed.apple.com/profile, to download the configuration profile. Your iOS device will prompt you to install it. Follow the on screen instructions to allow installation.
3.
Update your Device.
Beta updates will now be available for your device over the air on devices with iOS 8.1.3 or later. Tap Settings > General > Software Update to install any available beta updates.
Then it must be connected to your icloud account, so I guess there is no way around this =(
I just regged a whole bunch of additional beta tester accounts for myself.
As this is clearly just lottery I guess the more tickets you have the bigger the chance.
Yes, it is idiotic. I know. But it is not my fault!
Yes, I can see why Apple wanna do their first ever public beta testing step by step, BUT TELL US THAT THEN. Too bad Apple was never very found of info to the public. Well, then you get 10+ beta test accounts from me. You are welcome!

I got it from here: http://i.trackr.fr/tutoriel-telecharger-et-installer-ios-83-beta-3-12f5047f-liens-ipsw
I hear people on other forums (where I got the link) saying it's the public beta, so no UDID registration is required. I cannot confirm this, since my device is registered since iOS beta 6, so I can install it either way.
Interesting!
But isn't the beta connected to your iCloud? So it should not work if you're not invited to the iOS beta?
