Hello everyone! the 2.0 betas (macOS, iOS) are ready and submitted to Apple. Since yesterday we’re waiting for Apple to review them. The review shouldn’t take long, but it’s not in our control. Please bear a bit longer 🙂 The next steps are: 1. Waiting for the OK from Apple 2. A swift internal test run (just ensuring that the apps work as intended in production) 3. We’ll post the public TestFlight links here on the forum Thank you for being so patient! For any questions feel free to use this thread. ---

Thanks so much for the update. Does iOS also mean iPadOS? ---

Awesome! I’ve never been a part of a Test Flight app before. What does the transition from Test Flight to the main version look like? ---

Hi Will you send us a quick update once apple completes their review so that we can initiate a countdown 😬? Or the team would prefer to send the update and test flight link straight away after internal testing. ---

Your current v1 notes will be migrated to v2 automatically, to backup the v1 data you can look at our [backup FAQ](https://bear.app/faq/Backup%20%26%20Restore/) ---

If I remember correctly when I’ve done TestFlight betas apple does limit the amount that can use a TestFlight app. ---
