So we all know that developers can’t begin pushing app updates using the new APIs and features until later this Fall, but in the meantime companies can publish beta apps via TestFlight with new features.

I was curious if anyone has found any of their TestFlight apps or if they found new apps making use of some of the new features.

So far, all I’ve gotten is an update to Parcel integrating watchOS 10 features.

Has anyone gotten any TestFlight updates for the new app features coming this fall?

Yes I have Launcher widget by Cromulent Labs has interactive widget support for iOS17 in their latest few TestFlight versions. I've also seen some others. Btw Greg has offered interactive widget support since iOS8 when we already had interactive widgets which still work today as well from Launcher widget in the Notification Center besides supporting the current type of non-interactive ones.

Also Power Player Music Player has interactive widget support in their TestFlight.

I've also seen some third party developers (Workout Sessions, Personal Best - Workouts) mentioning they are planning to support iPadOS17 support since Apple Health is finally brought to the iPad as well. They haven't added it to their Testflight yet for what I know.

Oh how I look forward to updated interactive third party widgets, I just hope it doesn’t take as long for them to be implemented as it has with things like live activities.

Apollo would have them working on iOS 17 launch day, can only imagine how cool they would have been. 😭
 
Carrot’s TestFlight has updated to support StandBy widgets, new bigger Lock Screen widgets on iPad, and widgets on Apple Watch.

Standby is going to be the sleeper best app of the last 4-5 years.
 
You know what would be helpful here: a list of public betas of iOS 17 apps accessible via Testflight. Could someone add a wiki on this?
I would LOVE this. I've looked around some for something similar, but haven't found much.
