Customizing BetaBuilder’s Web Output
Jul 14, ’11
4:44 PM
In one of the BetaBuilder posts, one of the commenters reminded me that while you can customize your BetaBuilder HTML template, it’s not really documented well (or at all). Customization is pretty simple: just edit the ‘index_template.html’ file in BetaBuilder’s Application Support folder. You’ll find a file with a few simple tags that are used [...]

I’ve made a few changes to BetaBuilder and before I submit it to the App Store, I wanted to do a sanity check. Beta Builder 1.6 includes: – Entire window is now a drag target for IPA files. – If your project includes an iTunesArtwork file, it will be used on the generated HTML page. [...]
What Does Having the #6 App in a Mac App Store Category Get You? $15.42

That’s less than I would have guessed. I’ve got an app on the Mac App Store called ‘BetaBuilder for iOS Apps’ (it was called ‘iOS BetaBuilder’ but Apple freaked out about the iOS in the front instead of at the end and asked me to change it). It’s a developer focused tool that’s designed to [...]

Some Interesting BetaBuilder Forks
Oct 24, ’10
9:14 PM
Since posting the source onto GitHub, I’ve seen a couple of interesting forks of BetaBuilder and I’m considering folding some of the changes back into the ‘official’ release. What do you guys think of these ideas? There’s a fork with better support for using Dropbox as the storage medium – interesting. There’s also full command [...]

Just a note that I’ve posted the 1.0.1 version of iOS Beta Builder. For those that don’t know, BetaBuilder is a simple way to generate all of the deployment files you need to do your iOS Ad-Hoc beta programs wirelessly. It’s similar to services like TestFlight (they do more than just the wireless bit though [...]

Hey All, Thanks for the support regarding the recent release of iOS BetaBuilder. Happy that I could maybe save some people a little time with my simple tool. Anyway, several folks seemed interested in expanding the app (i.e. adding command line support, localizations, etc…). That’s great but since I don’t have the time to really [...]
