Sunday, May 23, 2010

During the development of iNytt 4.5 so I wanted a variety of users to beta test the application before it was added to the App Store. But to make the application ready for beta testing was not an easy task. So I decided to write a blog post about the steps. As usual, this will be presented in a list, then I'm developing and loves lists.;)
