Apple is altering how developer and public beta opt-ins function with the iOS 16.4 and iPadOS 16.4 releases. In the future, access will require an Apple ID connected to a developer or public beta account, and with today's iOS 16.4 beta, you can log in with two distinct Apple IDs.
There was no option for users who had distinct Apple IDs for their personal use and for their beta use in the earlier betas, which made it apparent that users would need to sign in to a developer account or opt in to the public beta to access a developer beta or a public beta, respectively. To address this issue, iOS 16.4 beta 3 introduces a new Apple ID field that may be used to sign in with a different Apple ID.
A different Apple ID that is signed up for the Apple Beta Software Program or the Apple Developer Program can be used to log in.
Apple lets you enter a different Apple ID for downloading the beta when you touch on the Apple ID button under Settings > General > Software Update. Using this feature, you can use a developer or public beta Apple ID to download betas as usual while utilising a standard Apple ID for all other iPhone operations.
The majority of those who utilise Development Center profiles to install betas that they wouldn't ordinarily have access to would be impacted by this change in how beta updates are downloaded. , a, and a......... a. The...tss.. s.a.a.a.a.a.a.
A unique Apple ID can be entered for downloading the beta when you hit the Apple ID button found under Settings > General > Software Update. With this feature, you can use a standard Apple ID for all other iPhone tasks while downloading betas as usual using a developer or public beta Apple ID.
Those who utilise Development Center profiles to download beta updates that they wouldn't ordinarily have access to will be most affected by this change in how beta updates are downloaded. ,
Anyone who chooses to join up can access the public beta, but since public betas lag behind developer betas, non-developers who want access to developer betas must currently use developer profiles that are publicly accessible via the URL.
This beta access repression will affect betas released after iOS 16.4, and it will be particularly apparent during the iOS 17 beta testing session later this year.
The tweak makes the beta update process easier while also preventing non-developers from installing betas using a developer profile. Users can choose to enable the development or public beta they have access to immediately from a iPhone or iPad without having to go through extra procedures to install a profile.
