Apple Seeds Third iOS 9 Beta to Developers With News App

Type4O said:
I have not been able to do a single OTA update for 9. It constantly says I am up-to-date. I have had to download the whole thing from Developer Center each time at 1.9GB a go. I feel like the girl in the Great Wolf Lodge ad at show-and-tell (Canada only reference I think) :(.

Do you have an Apple Watch? I have to delete the Apple Watch profile by going to Watch > General > Profile and deleting the watch beta profile (i am going off memory for the exact location but its somewhere in the watch app that you delete the profile). Then do a hard reboot and the OTA update for iOS 9.0 starts working.'

Edit: also even doing this Beta 3 is not appearing for me via OTA yet.
 
This is a little off topic, but I am hoping they do something to fix it for iOS 9.

I am really surprised to see no mention on this site that the "Apple Music" section of iTunes on OSX, and the app for iOS was written in... Javascript (Ember).

This can be seen by monitoring the traffic from the apps downloading the Javascript, and also another big red flag is the square switch under account settings, which is not a native control, and also displays graphical glitches when animating.

I see how this may make it easier for a cross-platform application, but this should not be the solution for iOS/OSX.

- The energy usage on OSX was one of the top offenders while I was streaming music, and it's not that great on iOS, either.

- It's really an embarrassment when they ship an app using javascript, while at the same time they preach at WWDC how *important* it is to build quality, NATIVE apps, and you should *never* ship before it is ready.

Apple's biggest competitor, Spotify, has a fully native iOS application written in Objective-C, and the performance blows Apple's version out of the water.. how do they have an excuse for that? It sort of makes me sad to be an apple developer when they ship crap like this - you tell me your tools and platform are the best, yet do not use them your self?

I love Apple, but this needs to get fixed..

Spotify is far more mature. I can control all my devices running Spotify from any other Spotify app, which is great! I have my MacMini running Spotify which can be controlled via my iPhone or iPad and it works great -easily switching and continuing over from any device! I'll go for the 3 month trial, but very much doubt I'll be moving off Spotify in the near future.

I had to do that for Beta 2. I have tried that for Beta 3 with no success yet. It likely still filtering out through the CDN servers.
 
Just got the OTA, downloading off wifi. Didn't need to switch to cellular to pick up the OTA notice.
Location - Ontario, Canada.

Edit: And as if by magic...
