When you test beta apps or beta App Clips with TestFlight, Apple will collect and send crash logs, your personal information such as name and email address, usage information, and any feedback you submit to the developer. Information that is emailed to the developer directly is not shared with Apple. The developer is permitted to use this information only to improve their app and is not permitted to share it with a third party. Apple may use this information to improve the TestFlight app.
Apple announced iOS 8 on June 2, 2014, at its annual Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) event, and it was released to the public on September 17, 2014, alongside the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. With this release, Apple dropped support for the iPhone 4 due to performance issues, and the Apple TV (2nd generation) due to hardware limitations. iOS 8 has limited support on the iPad 2, iPhone 4S, iPad (3rd generation), iPad Mini (1st generation), and the iPod Touch (5th generation),[citation needed] as Apple received widespread complaints of extremely poor performance from owners of these devices. All other devices from the iPhone 5 onwards, iPod Touch (6th generation) onwards, the iPad (4th generation) onwards, and the iPad Mini 2 onwards were fully supported. The release of iOS 8.1 brought support for the iPad Air 2 and iPad Mini 3, and the release of iOS 8.4 brought support for the iPod Touch (6th generation). iOS 8.3 was the first version of iOS to have public beta testing available, where users could test the beta for upcoming releases of iOS and send feedback to Apple about bugs and issues. The final version of iOS 8 was iOS 8.4.1. iOS 8 was succeeded by iOS 9 on June 8, 2015.
Typically Apple releases the developer beta builds first, and then follows soon after with the same version as a public beta release. The versions are thus iOS 12 beta 5 for developers, and iOS 12 beta 4 for public beta users.
While technically anyone can install iOS 12 developer beta (and the Mojave developer beta), there is little point doing so because of the concurrent public beta program. Thus, more advanced users who are interested in running the beta releases of Apple system software should instead choose to install the macOS Mojave public beta or install the iOS 12 public beta on their eligible devices. Beta system software is notoriously less stable and less reliable than regular builds, so it is generally only recommended for advanced users to try beta system software, and ideally on non-primary hardware. As usual, always backup any device before installing any system software.
Apple has released the third public betas of macOS 10.13 High Sierra, iOS 11 and tvOS 11. The finished versions are due this fall. googletag.cmd.push(function() googletag.display('appleworld_today_728x280_in_article_responsive_3'); ); 2ff7e9595c
