📢 Improved discovery for iOS and tvOS

Have you seen this happen more than once? I haven’t been able to reproduce this issue. If it does happen again can you send a diagnostic report?

I installed the beta earlier on a few devices that use a remote dvr and a local dual tuner (for live tv only). If the non-beta app was still installed it would bring up the login page, but if the non-beta app was deleted before installing the beta app it would only show a loading animation indefinitely. This behavior persisted after a force close and a full reboot.

@JMcGuire: When you see the app hang would you mind grabbing the logs from http://<apple-tv-ip>:57000/log and emailing them to [email protected]? I'd like to figure out what's going on here.

Log sent, let me know if you need anything else

eric · November 20, 2019, 7:20am

I was able to figure out what the issue is and I'll be releasing a new build tomorrow. Thank you for reporting this issue.

Is top row on the tvOS betas working for anyone else? Mine haven’t in a while with these new numerous updates.

d21mike · November 23, 2019, 3:20pm

Does not work here either. I haven’t noticed since I normally do not keep the beta on top row.

eric · November 23, 2019, 5:43pm

I’ll check it out. Thanks for reporting it.

Thanks to everyone who helped with testing this! It’s been very helpful for finding bugs.

The changes have been release to the App Store.

AeroR1 · December 5, 2019, 8:42pm

Eric, is this you pushing constant “undefined” updates in the beta channel. It’s constant on iOS and atv.

If it is, that’s fine but the undefined has me thinking it might be a bug in TestFlight since there are never any release notes. Channels Neta is the only app that it happens to, it doesn’t happen to my other beta apps.

Thanks.

Looks like a bug on our side. Those builds are for internal testing and weren't supposed to go out via TestFlight. Will fix for future builds.
