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

Try waiting a while. Mine on 5s did similar. Actually, 8.1.3 did same for me. I think it might be caching a bunch of junk from the web (search results, iCloud passwords, bookmarks, etc).

It has been over 6 hours and I still have the same issue.
 
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.

What comes first? An email inviting you to join the ios beta program, or a link on the appleseed website where you have to join the beta program? All I see is the OSX beta

I registered yesterday, but got the invitation mail from Apple today =)

Since I installed this, Safari on the iPad Air 2 won't load a single page and then freezes the entire app.

Anyone else have this? Can it be fixed?

I tried force quit and a restart and closing all the tabs. Same thing keeps happening.

No problem here with that issue on my iPad Air nor iPhone 6+. Looks like something went wrong when you updated.
 
Strange if they not allow all public beta members testing. I still have no option to download ios 8.3 🙁
 
Beta

I wonder if you need a iCloud.com email to participate? I sign into my :apple: id using a Gmail email address...🙄
 
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. 😉

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!
 
Still no invitation here... I wonder if someone who got invited can download the configuration profile and share it with the others

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.

appleseed.apple.com/profile redirects me to the home page for Yosemite beta :/
 
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!

Report in feedback app, and then restore to stable 8.2.
