Exactly, I asked for the link to the thread. I can't seem to find it there, but who knows until someone points it out. Either way I had no issues.
I think he had issues and therefore, it must be a total doomsday bug that is rocking the dev world as we type.
Must be, but nothing in the forums has a reply count that would indicate a BIG BIG BUG. I guess we will all have to cancel our plans and wait for the link
Yeah if there's some showstopping crazy bug post about it. I've only had 1 random reboot since I installed b2. Otherwise it's been really responsive and really great. The text color for the top status stuff (carrier string / signal strength / network type etc) sometimes doesn't adapt its color from black to white when the background changes. That's super minor, but it's a great beta otherwise.

Well it could be made an option to show quick reply with enabled passcode, but anyway, it wouldn't be very Apple-esque to implement new features in a beta version, would it? I do support the idea of quick reply, but I doubt they are gonna implement it.
Just visit the developers forums and you'll see.
8 out of 10 messages are about problems getting beta 2 properly installed or restoring a backup after updating.
Minutes after a new iOS release when are there not 8 to 10 messages about it "bricking" people's phone, or I can't download it. That does not constitute a big bug that you mentioned. A thread where an engineer replied and mentions a show stopping bug might be an example, but I see none of those.
Time will tell. When we see release notes of beta3 mentioning a fix of a bug preventing testers to restore backups, will you come back and apologise?
There is obviously a huge bug in the restore process of this beta 2. If you are blind enough as to deny it, it's your problem not mine.
Nope, I won't offer any such apology, I was reading this thread and you mentioned a big bug that was preventing people from installing beta 2, now I find out there is no such bug. Actually it's not my problem because my install went fine.
The fact that your install went fine says nothing.
If we based all our conclusions in one single beta tester, what would be the point of the whole beta process?
Fact is: a considerable percentage of beta testers are unable to update iOS without wiping clean all data. Some reports suggest that disabling find my iphone solves the issue. Other reports suggest that reseting all settings solves the issue. This means that there is probably a BUG in the update process when it finds some system setting it doesn't expect and then just sits there forever..
Since it is a BUG, we have all reported this BUG to Apple so it can be FIXED in the next beta seed so that this does NOT happen to end consumers at the end of the testing cycle.
If you fail to see the importance of this, then this makes me wonder why you are doing testing beta software at all?
Now go back to your rock and let me use my time in more important things.
I also go on the Apple Developer Forum, yes some people are having issues, but i wouldn't call it a huge bug.

There are always reports on the developer forums about installs going bad. No more so than usual each release. The point was you crying wolf about a big massive bug that was preventing people from upgrading. Numerous people asked you for the dev forum threads so we could monitor the massive bug, but you had no such threads and instead pointed to the fact that there were 8 or 10 people complaining. I won't take up any more of your precious time
If there's actually something that would signify that it's actually a major/huge/big bug, then perhaps there would be something to any of that. Otherwise, it can very well be a bug, but certainly not as it was presented here.
Fact is you are talking through your hat. I work with a team of developers and not one has had this issue - any major bugs in fact. Your facts are meaningless.

Are we still on his doomsday bug that only really affected him and a few others?
Three things I want.
Quick Reply, the ability to move multiple icons into folders & the ability to close all apps in multi tasking at once.

At least that appears to be a more tangible discussion than randomly and essentially pointlessly guessing future beta dates or listing random wishlists of features that would somehow miraculously appear in a simple beta update.
You people are truly amazing. I don't know why I even bother.
Yes, you can all hide your heads under the sand.

At least 15 developers

3800 views and 71 messages, and I won't count the number of developers affected
Thirdly, upon reporting this as a bug apple has designated it as serious bug and duplicated, meaning they have a lot more reports in this regard.

Yes I can imagine millions of consumers would be extremely happy if this "no-bug" made it to the final iOS release.
But since it is NOT a bug theres no need to worry, anyone.
