How was that an attack? If a later beta is more unstable then the previous version then Apple should quit if they are doing that bad of a job, it’s just a very good chance that the newer version is going to be more stable even if it’s 1% improvement from the previous one.
Got a tip for us?

You think betas are for MARKETING?? Have you ever worked in a marketing department? The last thing they want to publicize is half working software.
When do the public beta testers get their's? Is there a time they normally come out?
I have a paid for app that I JUST paid for before switching to the public beta, and it's not working. I knew what I was getting in to, but it's annoying that I can't use it.

I think it’s funny how so many beta testers on these pages talk about how stable it is. Are you guys using the same beta? Are you not having the settings screen freeze up on you, random app crashes, odd glitches and other issues? Because I sure am. And that’s expected, since it’s a beta.
But for all you testers, what are you even doing that you don’t notice these issues? If you’re not THOROUGHLY putting the software through its paces, you have no right to comment on its stability.

As a Public Beta tester, I feel like my obligation is not to test everything possible, but more so to use the phone as I usually would, and provide feedback on anything issues I face while using the phone normally. Just my opinion
I thought so as well, but the OpenVPN people claim Apple is at fault... oh well.. back to iOS11
This.
The 8th beta still had the random freeze issue for me. Initially it seemed more prevalent when I had recently been using Carplay, but not always. Not many apps crashed, but several apps would freeze for 10 seconds or so and finally launch. The icon would dim and it would just sit there
Fingers crossed for B9
sounds like they are too lazy to write code to fix the issue instead of just blaming someone else
The fix is in the new OpenVPN app, available as soon as iOS 12 is released. The current OpenVPN client will not be fixed to work with the betas.

I have been having traffic issues since iOS 11. I would have the traffic turned on yet no traffic would show up. Would have to toggle it to fix. Hopefully they finally fix this issue (with next beta).
This is a GREAT answer. Kudos.
It can never be flawless. And by this time, most of the known bugs will be targeted to be fixed in the 12.X releases.
not so harsh, I'm a developer as well, sometimes it IS a bug in the dev kit or some lib and Apple tends to be lazy in fixing these things. The Ovpn peops where asking users to report the problem to Apple. Now (wierd, info?) I understand that it will be fixed in a new app. Case closed.
I don’t use betas but hot damn, this one sounds like a huge clusterf*ck! It’s amazing how the developers can tie up (most of) the loose ends for the final release.
After around the sixth beta, when things are usually running pretty smooth, the public beta comes out later the same day (usually after 1:00 PM Pacific time).
