Xbox App On Macbook

Getting Started

To test beta versions of apps and app clips using TestFlight, you’ll need to accept an email or public link invitation from the developer and have a device that you can use to test.

• As The Verge points out, the new Xbox streaming option is similar to the PS4 Remote Play app that Sony offers on Apple's iPhones and iPads. Remote Play lets users play their PS4 games over WiFi on an Apple device.
• Apple TV apps have also launched on Roku, Amazon Fire TV, and a variety of smart TVs so its arrival on Xbox consoles isn’t that much of a surprise. Now if only Microsoft would release a Movies.

The report notes that this new app and its remote play capability is different than Microsoft's xCloud service. Whereas xCloud allows players to stream Xbox games directly from Microsoft's servers to their phone in any location, remote play on the new Xbox app on iOS requires players to be connected to their own Xbox. Apple and Microsoft are. The new app allows you to connect to your Xbox One and play games already downloaded to your console on your Apple phone or tablet, and based on our experiences with the Android version it works really well!

Members of the developer’s team in App Store Connect can be added and will have access to all builds of the app.

All other invited testers will have access to builds that the developer makes available to them. A developer can invite you to test with an email or a public link invitation.

Required platforms.

• iOS apps: iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch running iOS 8 or later. App clips require iOS 14 beta or later. iMessage apps and sticker packs require iOS 10 or later.
• tvOS apps: Apple TV running tvOS 9 or later.
• watchOS apps: Apple Watch running watchOS 2 or later.

2. Under the App Clips section, click TEST next to the beta app clip you would like to test.

Giving Feedback

While testing a beta version of an app or app clip*, you can send the developer feedback about issues you experience or make suggestions for improvements based on the “What to Test” content. When you submit feedback through TestFlight, this information is also provided to Apple as part of the TestFlight service.

iOS Apps

If your device is running iOS 13 or later, you can send feedback through the TestFlight app or directly from the beta app or beta app clip* by taking a screenshot, and you can report a crash after it occurs. If you were invited to test an app with a public link, you can choose not to provide your email address or other personal information to the developer.

6. Tap Submit.

Sending Feedback through the Beta App (iOS 13 or later)

When you take a screenshot while testing a beta app or beta app clip*, you can send the screenshot with feedback directly to the developer without leaving the app or app clip experience*. Developers can opt out of receiving this type of feedback, so this option is only available if the developer has it enabled.

1. Take a screenshot on your device. For details, see How to take a screenshot on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
2. A thumbnail of your screenshot appears in the lower-left corner of your device. Tap the thumbnail and, if needed, add drawings and text with Markup. Then tap on the Done button.
3. Tap the Share Beta Feedback.
4. Optionally, you can add comments (up to 2,000 characters), and your email address if you were invited with a public link.
5. Tap Submit.

Sending Crash Information (iOS 13 or later)

If you experience a crash while testing a beta app or beta app clip*, you’ll see an alert asking if you want to send crash details to the developer through TestFlight. Developers can opt out of receiving this type of feedback, so this option is only available if the developer has it enabled.

When the crash alert displays, tap Share, add any additional comments, and tap Submit.

You can also provide additional information, such as necessary screenshots and steps required to reproduce any issues. Your email address will be visible to the developer when you send email feedback through the TestFlight app even if you were invited through a public link.

*Testers running iOS 14 beta or later can test and provide feedback for app clips.

tvOS Apps

To provide feedback on a tvOS app, go to the Information section on the app’s page in TestFlight to find the developer’s email address and send them an email.

Your email address will be visible to the developer when you send email feedback through the TestFlight app.

After Testing

When the testing period is over, you will no longer be able to open the beta build. To install the App Store version of the app, download or purchase the app from the App Store. In-app purchases are free only during beta testing, and any in-app purchases made during testing will not carry over to App Store versions.

Your Privacy and Data

When you test beta apps and beta app clips with TestFlight, Apple will collect and send crash logs, your personal information such as name and email address, usage information, and any feedback you submit to the developer.

Although Cloud Streaming is still a no-go in its present guise based on Apple's current guidelines, Microsoft's newly updated Xbox app for iOS will enable users to stream from their console to iPhone or iPad when it launches soon.

It's a feature that's already available to all users of the recently updated Xbox app beta for Android, and enables app users to remotely startup their Xbox One and stream their game library to their mobile device for free. Previously, the feature was known as Xbox Console Streaming and was available exclusively to Xbox Insiders.

The Verge reports Microsoft's updated iOS app will also include remote game streaming to iPhone or iPad - despite Apple continuing to drag its heels over cloud gaming, it permits other Remote Desktop Client apps, such as the similar PlayStation 4 Remote Play - enabling iOS users to stream from their Xbox over Wi-Fi or phone connection.

Both the incoming Xbox app for iOS and the Android version introduce a range of new and updated features, including a fresh look that reflects Microsoft's recent Xbox UI redesign, a new notification system, the ability to share game clips and screenshots captured on Xbox, and more, as outlined a lengthy post on Xbox Wire.

Although Microsoft says the beta version of its refreshed Xbox app for iOS is available 'now', it hasn't yet made its way to the App Store. Hopefully it'll surface soon.
