iOS 7 “activation required” error on iPhone and iPad

This seems like a non-issue (only affecting users with beta versions of iOS 7) and a generally uninformed article:<p>&gt; Apple seem to have pushed out an update that forces users to update to the current version of iOS 7<p>Previous betas have had expiration dates hard-coded into them. So the &quot;update&quot; that Apple &quot;seem to have pushed out&quot; is probably &quot;the future&quot;.<p>EDIT: It seems like this is the first time an iOS beta has expired for some developers. Get a GM release and (command|shift) click [1] on &quot;check for updates&quot; in iTunes [2]. This is basically how you do non-OTA updates between different beta versions.<p>EDIT 2: The blog post has been updated and &quot;Apple seem to have pushed out an update&quot; no longer appears in the body text. I wonder why... [3]<p>[1] Some modifier key is the right one. I don&#x27;t remember which.<p>[2] <a href="http://www.jailbreaksquad.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Browse-and-Select-iOS-6.1-IPSW.png" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.jailbreaksquad.com&#x2F;wp-content&#x2F;uploads&#x2F;2013&#x2F;01&#x2F;Bro...</a><p>[3] <a href="http://i.imgur.com/zN2EttW.jpg" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;i.imgur.com&#x2F;zN2EttW.jpg</a>

There are lots of comments here that rightly point out that you have no reasonable expectation of uninterrupted functionality using beta software. But to me, there&#x27;s a bigger, more interesting picture here: There&#x27;s clearly a demand for pre-release Apple software among people who don&#x27;t really have any need for it.<p>I&#x27;m sure I&#x27;m not alone in having seen people this summer running iOS 7 betas on their personal phones, even people with no software development experience who probably couldn&#x27;t tell you what Xcode is. It&#x27;s not in Apple&#x27;s interest for this to be happening, as it leaves a bad taste in people&#x27;s mouth when things like this inevitably happen.<p>Restricting access clearly doesn&#x27;t work. Everyone who knows the beta exists knows someone who can hook them up. There&#x27;s got to be something else, some other way Apple can make these betas less appealing to the casual user, without lessening the betas&#x27; usefulness for people actually trying to test things.

Got this on my iPad, thought &quot;ohh shit, I should back up my phone right now, it&#x27;s next...&quot;<p>I backed it up and within 20 minutes it had been disabled.<p>Interestingly, it put it in a state in which it was unable to ring for incoming calls.<p>I wish Apple would not report that your iOS version is &quot;up to date&quot; in iTunes if you are running a time-bombed beta build. Even if they don&#x27;t want to support a direct upgrade path from beta to GM, they could indicate in their software that your software is not up to date.<p>Not everyone can afford dedicated dev devices--even though that is in their terms of use.

For everyone saying &quot;you should have read the release notes&quot; - yes I agree. However, there are two things that made this very opaque and should have been better.<p>1) all sources indicate everywhere that the software is &quot;up to date&quot;. I realize that as a developer I should be keeping better tabs on things but I usually trust things not to just lie to me. It&#x27;s pretty opaque.<p>2) The error you get when the beta expires makes no mention of the fact that the beta expired. Without judicious twitter searches and a quick look on hacker news, I didn&#x27;t know what the source of the error was and assumed something was wrong w&#x2F; apple&#x27;s activation or that someone had compromised my account in some way.

Just hit this error myself -- found an easier way than restoring from backup.<p>First, download the latest iOS7 version (I used an ipsw from this website: <a href="http://www.iphonehacks.com/2013/09/update-ios-7-beta-ios-7-public-release.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.iphonehacks.com&#x2F;2013&#x2F;09&#x2F;update-ios-7-beta-ios-7-p...</a>)<p>Open up iTunes and go to your iPhone, and press alt&#x2F;option + the &quot;Check for Update&quot; button.<p>This will open up a window that will allow you to browse to your ipsw download. Choose the iOS7 ipsw you downloaded for your phone, and choose it. After 20 minutes, your iPhone will update, and you&#x27;ll be ready to go -- no restore required.

Did anyone find this extremely rude. I was suddenly locked out of my own hardware for which I paid hundreds of dollars. I stopped receiving calls in the middle of the day. Why do they have to treat people who installed beta like they are criminals on a parole. Where is the magic Apple ?

I was able to update my 4S by downloading the official release and updating it in iTunes by option+clicking &quot;Check for Update&quot; and selecting the file.<p>If you have a 4S: <a href="http://thepiratebay.sx/torrent/8936924/iPhone_4S_iOS_7.0_(11A465)_Official_Release" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;thepiratebay.sx&#x2F;torrent&#x2F;8936924&#x2F;iPhone_4S_iOS_7.0_(11...</a>

I understand the misfortunate situation revolving around this &quot;issue&quot;, but shouldn&#x27;t this of been seen miles away? I mean a beta version&#x2F;GM version were running on the phone. A developer would know that beta&#x2F;GM development release are mean&#x27;t to expire, and for good reason.<p>Heck this even happened to me and it was my own fault. I knew that I needed to update to the public release of iOS7. This reminds of the kids who were buying developer accounts just to get the iOS7 betas, and walking into the apple store when their phone takes a dive.<p>Finally, a developer or a person who reads the TOS know that shit happens, and when it does, usually they know the instructions to recover from this.

This is semi related tangent.<p>I&#x27;ve worked in at a lot of software companies where they spent a lot of time being concerned about small groups of customers that were using old builds, how we would keep their setup working, etc. It always impresses me how Apple moves forward in spite of who may be left behind and I assume that this is a conscious choice they constantly have to revisit. The counter example would be Microsoft that still supported DOS for more than a decade after they moved on from it.<p>I don&#x27;t know any engineers who like maintaining legacy systems, so it seems to be a perk of working with Apple and I also think that this lack of concern for legacy is allowing Apple to move forward faster. At my last job every time a new project was requested by management I would ask, &quot;What old project will we remove then? Because maintenance takes time.&quot; I pretty much never got an answer on that. It takes discipline to stay lean and to non-engineers legacy costs can be invisible a lot of times.<p>One area where I see progress accelerating is XCode. You basically need to be running latest XCode to publish apps to the App Store, so people always run latest. On the other hand, I&#x27;ve got Visual Studio all the way back to 2003 on hand because clients don&#x27;t want to take the time to upgrade. It drives me nuts.<p>There&#x27;s something satisfying about progress and something very depressing to me when I sit down to make changes to a project using Visual Studio 2003 .NET. Anyone know what I mean?

I was just in the apple store and heard someone complain about this. She was there for some other reason and it just so happened to strike her phone while she was waiting. The guy helping her was pretty puzzled and kept insisting she must have reset her phone.

This happened to me less than an hour ago - it puts you on an infinite loop if you try and do a login from the phone without a USB connection.<p>I&#x27;m a developer that&#x27;s been using the beta - it seems to have only affected those that haven&#x27;t upgraded.

Good luck if you had &quot;find my phone&quot; turned on.
