iPhone App Beta Testing Problem: People not willing to give their iphone/ipod touch id.
3 points by amichail on March 18, 2009 | hide | past | favorite | 4 comments
Out of five people who expressed interest in testing my app, none seem willing to give me their iphone/ipod touch id.

It seems that this is a problem with the beta testing method required for iphone apps. People feel as if giving away their device id is a privacy/security risk.

Info on how beta testing works (see section on adding beta testers): http://furbo.org/2008/08/06/beta-testing-on-iphone-20




is that how they feel, or is finding their ID too much of a pain in the ass?


Don't know. When I asked them to send me their device ID, I received no replies.


Did you give them instructions with screenshots on how to do it?

Anyway, just send you an email with my UUID. Happy to support a fellow developer.


just sent you an email with my uuid.
