You're talking "I have serious issues on BETA software!".

Wow that really proves who you are. I think Android is just the device for you. It really fits to people like you. Because it's from Google, so you will never see the end of beta stuffs.

I always see scary warning messages for each time when I download beta software from Apple website. I still don't understand what kind of people are using beta OS for their private device, not for test device.

Who said "I have serious issues on BETA software!" ?? Did you read that anywhere in the thread?

Please read carefully and read the attached link before you comment!

I read the article before I comment, and actually there's only two sentences about the problem.

Apple BETA devices around the world have been receiving the error “Activation Required”. Apple has placed an expiry date on their BETA versions, this forces users who are still running BETAs of iOS 7 to update to the current version.

WTF? You said it was BETA.

Still, you're blaming other people for your fault. You're developer. You were recognizing what will be happen with BETA OS in worst case, and you just didn't prepared for it. Dedicated testing machine is required equipment for BETA OS. You didn't bought it because you treated it optional equipment. That's right for regular development, but not for BETA OS. So you thrown your primary phone into the risk of the test machine.

If you're work for a company, blame your boss who forced you to use your personal device. If you work for yourself, then blame yourself.

And welcome to Android. You don't need to worry about Apple's parenting, but instead, you need plenty of different devices for test. Good luck.

I had zero issues upgrading, not even restoring, from the iOS 7 developer builds to the final release. Just download it from Dev Center, option/shift-click on Update in iTunes and feed it the IPSW.

Granted Apple's way of forcing the upgrade here is painful but it's more than possible to upgrade without issues and without bricking your device.

The problem is that Apple did not give us the ability to do OTA update, then they suddenly with no prior notification they decided to deactivate the developers devices, then the forced us to put the device in the recovery mode to restore it!

Is it so hard to deactivate auto updating for a beta version? It's not fun to have a brick in the pocket when you are traveling. Not everyone has 3 iPhones for testing purposes only. We are talking about hundertthousands of beta users? That's not "Apple Thinking" about details, come on, that's embarrassing.

That is what I mean, I am a developer and I own one iPhone device because it is costly to own an iPhone! So Apple should respect their developer and simply email them that they have to manually update their iOS 7 to the latest through the IPSW file (Although it should be updated automatically through OTA)

You are supposed to backup the device before installing a Beta. You can easily restore from the backup.

Welcome to the beautiful open world of Android!
