Re: iOS 7 beta 2??

I'm working on creating an app right now and this is my first time being a dev during an iOS beta. I am tempted to put iOS 7 on my main personal phone as well. I swear I won't become one of those people who then complains because beta doesn't work perfectly on their phones. I know it's beta. Anyways, my question is about the beta stages. Will the beta stages continue/update all the way through the full release in the fall, or sometime before the full release does the last beta build expire and then you're left without a usable phone for a few weeks before the general public release? That was my one concern about putting it on my main phone. So I figured I would ask. Thanks!

I've never run into this issue. The Gold Master is usually out ahead of the official release. It does not require UDID activation.

It looks like Beta 1 has an expiration date of July 24th - so, six weeks from now. I think that's a good chunk of time to fine tune any major issues, and pump out a new beta. Personally, I'm going to hold off until beta 2 comes out.

Re: iOS 7 beta 2??

I remember the past 2 betas being released on The Monday of the announcement then the following betas every 2 weeks on Mondays as well and a few times the betas would skip a week so you waited 3 weeks. I thought the betas expired day(s) or week after the new one was posted Any other devs confirm that?

I don’t recall specific expiration dates on the previous betas... but it seems to me that it was almost always more than a week out. I do recall one single instance where the expiration date was fast approaching, and the new beta was not yet out... but typically it was a couple of weeks or more... just my rusty recollection.

I actually looked ios 6 beta 1 came out June 11th and expired July 25th and beta 2 came out June 25th and next wasn't until July 16th and beta 2 expired July 31st

I know you shouldn't have it on your phone if your a non developer but it happens every beta. There is wiggle room to avoid being expired
