BetaKit - Helps You Prepare Your App Before App Store.

Link

“The whole idea behind DemoKit and the bit I’m working on now, which is BetaKit, is a suite of developer libraries that help you prepare your application before app store. BetaKit, which I’m still writing consists of a floating invisible windows with buttons at the corners that let your beta testers send in screen shots, console logs, device details, feedback, etc. directly from within the application.

The idea is that you add this to any app you’re sending out for beta testing, allowing users to send you screen shots and feedback while they are using the app.”

If you’re a developer, or you simply beta test a lot of apps, you know how much this is important. The problem is, Apple completely ignores the “beta apps before the AppStore” scene.

The cool thing is, the make money with them later.
