IOS 11 and TruePlay

The fun I’ve got is I have a playbar Sub 2 Play 5 2nd gens and 2 Play 1s I just got and can’t tune them grrr every room has a red dot

Hmmmmm.....seriously. Apple provide developers with early access to iOS 11 surely to allow companies to get their 'ducks in a row' for when it's released. Sonos should first take care of their exiting 'valued' client base and have their Trueplay update for iOS 11 for existing users, and then do the necessary due diligence for the new iPhone releases after that. All I am hearing is excuses not reasons!!!! Come on Sonos you really need to do better on the customer satisfaction side, and not assume we are all morons who don't understand the finesse of upgrades and enhancements.

You don't need to be a developer to have access to the beta software. Any person with Apple hardware can join their public beta program and have access to the beta software (usually they get access 7-10 days after the release to registered developers). And it only costs $99/yr to become a registered developer.

iOS 11 has been in testing since the annual Apple developer's conference in June.

I don't recall this delay when iOS 10 was released last year, but do recall it took some time for the then new iPhone 7s to be added as devices that could be used for TruePlay tuning. So I understand why it will be some time before the iPhone 8s, just released to the public, will be approved hardware (if in fact they meet the requirements) but not why iOS 11 broke the functionality for previously approved hardware.

Flame suit on....

All I can say is goodness help us if we want Sonos to support Trueplay on the iPhone X any time soon after it's released. Better keep you old iPhone just in case 😃

b) Only private individuals are eligible for beta testing; Sonos, however, is a so called legal person.

Err app developers have had access to the ios betas, rc and gold master all along.
Yes, small third party developers; freelancers.
Right. Small third party developers like...er...Spotify and Twitter.

Not having TruePlay isn't the end of the world. Everything else still works, including the speakers. The sound as delivered is stellar, and chances are you won't even hear the difference after tuning. Enjoy them as they are for now.

I just fell into it as well! Hard to believe

Why is it hard to believe? iOS changes require Sonos to re-certify the Trueplay tuning algorithms to any changing software and/or new hardware. That requires time to get correct, as stated by the Sonos rep above. In the meantime, Trueplay still works for any device not running iOS 11.

It’s hard to believe because they will get beta and developer releases in advance so they can be prepared for it! I have a big family party bought two more play:1 and a play bar and are unable to tune them so yeah people will me miffed

As has been stated before, the likely issue isn't the software that they would have had their hands on, it's the hardware, which Apple wouldn't share with anyone at all.

Because how long has the beta been out? Did SONOS start developing/testing for iOS last week?
Your answer is nonsense.
