Beta test before release

TestFlight Beta Testing

Customers who want to use an app before Apple's review can join Apple's TestFlight beta testing program. For example, pdf-notes for iPad 3.6.20 is waiting its review so that customers should wait the review finished but testers can use it right now.

Beta test period is 60 days since a test version is registered. Testers can test it during 60 days, or cancel it and make the app restore to the former AppStore version, or cancel it and update the app to the newly released AppStore version. During a test, data files used at the former AppStore version may be changed and the newer AppStore version may be needed for the compatibility in this case.

A test version is running under TestFlight environment unlikely a normal version is running under AppStore environment so that two versions licenses are different from each other. A tester can purchase a test license and it's a virtual transaction only not the real one so that the test license can not be used for an AppStore version. Likewise, a tester has a valid AppStore license but needs to purchase a test license for a test version.

If you want to join, please send musebook@musebook.com your Apple ID mail address. Received mail addresses will be listed on Apple's database and registered selectively. When registered as a tester, Apple will send you an invitation mail.

Since 3rd December 2015, the following tests are available for 60 days.
  • pdf-notes for iPad 3.6.20 paid version
  • pdf-notes for iPad 3.6.20 free version


Thank you~ ^^

iOS 9 & pdf-notes for iPad

I am sorry for customers who couldn’t access Google Drive because of iOS 9’s side effect that failed to enlarge login view. Now, I want to let you know about the recent 3.6.19 version.

  • pdf-notes for iPad 3.6.19 version runs on iOS 9 only. (iPad 1 customers can use the 3.6.15 version under iOS 5. ^^)
  • The former free versions didn’t support multitasking, but the 3.6.19 free version supports multitasking with a small notice dialog, because of the picture in picture video multitasking of iOS 9. => It supports picture in picture video play for attachments so that you can turn pages or make notes or even run other apps while watching the PIP video.
  • I’ve renewed all Dropbox, Google Drive, uCloud connections, and the 3.6.19 version supports document picker extension for other apps/clouds including iCloud. It will be greatly helpful for you.
  • I’ve added a setting to clear link background colors.
  • And there are lots of enhancements, but I am really sorry for this update after a very long absence because Apple does not accept 32 bit apps since 2015 so that I had to re-write all the 32 bit codes to 64 bit codes and it takes very long time. You might know that pdf-notes 3.6.15 version or former versions supports iOS 5 ~ iOS 8 and those were written by 32 bit codes. Now, the 3.6.19 version is written by 64 bit codes.

I uploaded it on 8th November 2015 so that please wait until Apple finishes its review. The review was finished on 2nd December 2015.


Added on 2nd December 2015

  • After the update uploading, Apple had wrongly rejected its review because of the review team's mistake (or misunderstanding?), and after the 2 times appeals the review was finished. It takes lots of times.
  • Please don't bugging developers for those waiting because it's a kind of casual waiting from the review teams' misunderstanding or mistake, it's not a special case but often. Apple review teams are not so smart but like us.

Thank you~ ^^
