For everyone saying "you should have read the release notes" - yes I agree. However, there are two things that made this very opaque and should have been better.
1) all sources indicate everywhere that the software is "up to date". I realize that as a developer I should be keeping better tabs on things but I usually trust things not to just lie to me. It's pretty opaque.
2) The error you get when the beta expires makes no mention of the fact that the beta expired. Without judicious twitter searches and a quick look on hacker news, I didn't know what the source of the error was and assumed something was wrong w/ apple's activation or that someone had compromised my account in some way.
- yeldarb 13y agoSo much this. And since it happened with no warning on a weekend evening I was not at home and wasn't able to even look it up since my phone all of the sudden self destructed AS I WAS USING IT. It just rebooted and all of the sudden was non-functional. As the responsible DD for tonight this put me in a tough spot where the drunkies I was responsible for were unable to contact their driver. This was a ridiculous way to handle this. I had even tried to manually update to the public release manually via iTunes last week and since it said "Up to Date" I thought it had worked.. but apparently not.
- ctdonath 13y agoYes, this. No hint that anything would happen or when. No apparent means of updating, or to what. No ability to back up when it hit. I was at a confluence of development needs & tools & deadlines which delayed a sensible update sequence.
- gibwell 13y agoSo you're saying you didn't know the GM had been released?
