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).

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

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 […]
