Apple: No more sneak-peek previews of iOS unless you pay for the privilege
Sorry, early adopters, cash-strapped developers or anyone else that wants to test developer builds of iOS and iPadOS before public betas are available – the latest beta is doing away with configuration profiles that allow any device to download dev-only builds.
iOS 16.4, which entered public beta recently, may make life easier for developers who work on apps for Apple's mobile OSes as it will add the ability to enroll in betas for a device right from the Software Update menu in the Settings app. The new feature will be automatically enabled on devices enrolled in the Apple beta program for developers with a paid dev account, which costs $99 per year, on devices they're logged into with that AppleID.
But there's a kick in the teeth for everyone else:"In future iOS and iPadOS releases, this new setting will be the way to enable developer betas and configuration profiles will no longer grant access," AppleFor those unfamiliar with Apple configuration profiles, they were used to change a device's update channel from regular releases to beta or dev updates.
For a developer who didn't want to pay, or members of the public who wanted early access, a trip to one of several websites, like BetaProfiles or IPSW.dev, provided an easy way to access the profiles and instructions on how to install them.
