  • Publication number: 20150347970
    Abstract: Systems and methods for testing application programs prior to production that enables the developer to internally test and beta test an application program. Furthermore, a potential tester may be added to a beta test list without providing information specific to a device or account information. Specifically, a tester may provide the developer with any contact information that allows the user to receive a beta test invitation. The beta test invitation may include a link that opens a beta testing application that allows the tester to enter account information that is sent to an organization that distributes the application program without sharing such information with the developer. The distributing organization then may create a provisioning profile that pairs the device with the tested application. Thus, the developer may add external testers even when the external testers do not want to share personal account information or have the ability to share device identification information with the developer.

  • Publication number: 20140095275
    Abstract: Improved systems and methods to distribute codes, such as promotional codes, are disclosed. The improved systems and methods can enable recipients to acquire a downloadable asset from a networked-based distribution system. In one embodiment, through use of mobile devices, a code can be delivered and redeemed to acquire a downloadable asset with minimal burden to developer and recipient. In one implementation, delivery of the code to the recipient mobile device can be facilitated by providing the mobile device of the developer closely proximate to the mobile device of the recipient.
