Ask HN: idea to "avoid" iPhone beta test limit, autogoal?
I've been looking and searching for a solution about giving the app I'm working in beta test to more than 100 devices. I got two reason to do that:
1 - more beta tester = more feedback from different devices (old iPhone, old iOS etc)
2 - the app I'm working is a social market place, so I'd love to have it well populated when there will be the official launch
I have an idea, but it might be an autogoal. To submit the app in the app store, so everyone - I'll write to - can download an test it, but, keep the press release, media/web coverage and on our website written "coming soon" - so no links to the app store or something -
People will be able to subscribe on our website to be notified for the real official release, while in backend I can have a look to who's subscribing to see if he could be "interesting" to have as beta tester.
Autogoal or not? I was thinking about how many occasional customer could come, bad reviews or whatever.
If you have any other ideas I'd be very grateful.
Best, Filippo

- Looks like a solution could be to have different Developer Program so I'll get 100 invite for each one, but it's kinda expensive since we're a small startup
