iOS 8.3 beta now on Apple Seed, appears to be invitation only

<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p class="intro">Apple has started sending out email invitations to some members of the Apple Seed program, inviting them to beta test iOS 8.3.</p> <p>Based on the contents of the email — some of us here received it — it looks like Apple is not doing a full-on public beta like they did for OS X Yosemite (http://www.imore.com/os-x-yosemite), but are instead inviting a subset of Apple Seed members to participate in the iOS 8.3 beta (http://www.imore.com/ios-8). In other words, not every Apple Seed member appears to be getting invited, so you shouldn't join Apple Seed expecting to get an iOS 8.3 invitation.<!--break--></p> <p><a href='http://www.imore.com/ios-83-beta-now-apple-seed-appears-be-invitation-only' title="iOS 8.3 beta now on Apple Seed, appears to be invitation only"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2015/03/ios-83-beta-program-invite.jpg?itok=ne6LF0LR' />[/url]</p> <p>There's no way to know how many invitations Apple sent out, or whether the company is choosing people at random or has set criteria based on prior feedback from the OS X Yosemite beta. Some of those who did receive the invitation, however, told us they'd been active participants in the past.</p> <p>So, just to repeat — this is not a public iOS 8.3 beta. This is an invitation-only iOS 8.3 beta being drawn from the public Apple Seed program pool. This is also separate from the iOS Developer Program, which has its own iOS 8.3 beta.</p> <p>If you've received an invitation, click/tap the "join iOS beta" button to get started. Then please report early and often. For betas, earlier is always better.</p> <p>More: Apple Public Beta Program (https://appleseed.apple.com/)</p> <p>Thanks to Keith for the tip!</p> <p>2pm PT: Updated to explain invitation-only nature of Apple Seed iOS 8.3 beta program.</p> </div></div></div><img width='1' height='1' src='http://tipb.com.feedsportal.com/c/33998/f/616881/s/44555e6b/sc/21/mf.gif' border='0'/><br clear='all'/>
