The beta OS has many bugs that exist in the OS itself. Considering that OS goes through multiple betas before release and numerous bugs are fixed each time, it's short-sighted to try to fix your app to work perfectly on every beta release.
Just imagine if we had all fixed our apps for iOS 7 beta 1 - oh the fun!
Also, while adding a catchall preventing beta OSes from reviewing is good, I have seen other posts advocating mentioning the iOS 7 is no compatible in the description of the app. This is worst advice ever. Those who are not developers who are using the beta cannot be reasoned with and it is their own fault for having an unstable OS. Mentioning iOS 7 will further annoy them [that the app doesn't work on iOS 7] and confuse legitimate users about the availability of iOS 7.
- deong 13y agoYes, but it's not like every new beta release crashes your app in 25 completely new ways. Most apps run just fine in the beta as is. The more likely case is that it's a very small number of issues that you can work around or fix once and be done with. I still think that the bigger issue is this: if so many of your users are doing this that it's a problem, then fix the problem. If you want to complain about "lusers" in the bar later in the evening, you have my sympathy. But if this is a real problem for you, then it's an even bigger problem for your users, and just calling them unreasonable doesn't help either of you. It might be their fault, but they're still your customers and they still can't run your app. The 1-star reviews are not your biggest problem at that point.
