Update 10/15/24: Infuse 8 is now available on the Vision App Store!
Today we’re happy to present the public beta version of Infuse for Apple Vision Pro!
This build represents a work in progress, and is still rough around the edges, but we are planning to have new updates every week (or so) - so things will continue to improve until the official release of 8.0 in Fall 2024.
How you can help
- Sign up for TestFlight (link removed)
- Share feedback publicly in this thread to facilitate discussion with others
- If you find something that is broken, it may be helpful to submit a diagnostic report. To do this, simply tap the ‘Email Us’ option found in Settings, copy the 5 digit code, and post it in this thread with a description of the issue. Sending the actual email from the app is not required.
Activating Pro features
Existing Pro licenses will not transfer to TestFlight builds. The best option for activating Pro when using TestFlight builds is to use Trakt.
Option 1: Use Trakt to activate Pro (recommended)
- Ensure Pro is active on a device running the stable App Store version (iOS, Apple TV, Mac)
- Log into Trakt in Infuse on that device (create a free account if you don’t already have one)
- Log into the same Trakt account in Infuse on Apple Vision Pro
Option 2: Use TestFlight sandbox to activate Pro
Note: The purchase flow in TestFlight is notoriously buggy, so ymmv.
More info
- Install the beta from TestFlight.
- Select the Lifetime in-app purchase option (You’ll get a confirmation like this which clearly says you won’t be charged.)
If this still isn’t working, or you’re getting an error - then it’s likely there is a mismatch somewhere with your Apple IDs.
Tips for resolving issues
- Remove Infuse
- Sign out of the App Store
- Restart your device
- Sign back into the App Store
- Install Infuse via TestFlight
If you’re still seeing issues, you may need to check to ensure the Sandbox ID matches the one you are using for TestFlight.
