    <p>As far as I know, there isn't a legal way to bypass the app store
      for apple. android will allow you to do it, but with ios you'd
      need to jailbreak your phone or "sideload" the app from another
      device. For Android the users would have to set their devices to
      allow unauthorized apps, which I don't think anyone would be
      willing to do, and we would have to set up some backend download
      endpoint for he apk.<br>
    </p>
    <p>It looks like we could possibly contact apple directly (and
      probably google too) to expedite a review. We may be able to make
      a case that we want to push immediate updates for the conference.
      But really, I think if we got some people testing it over the next
      couple months we should be fine.<br>

    <p>Currently, the URLs are baked into the app, but they don't have
      to stay that way. There's a bunch of ways we could probably do it
      since they are just strings in the source code. You're welcome to
      work on it. If you send me your github handle, I can add you as a
      dev on the project.<br>

      Hi Derek,<br>
      <br>
      Do the urls have to be baked into the IPA? Also, can we push the
      ipa outside of the store, so we can avoid Apple store? <br>

                <p>I changed all of the urls and they look like they are
                  working just fine! I'm also in the process of editing
                  the image resources to reflect the new 17x as well.</p>
                <p>Can you add some announcements to the backend for
                  17x? We'll need some sample announcements that don't
                  contain the words "sample", "demo", "test" or anything
                  like that (apple will reject the app if we use those
                  kinds of words). Or if you want to give me access to
                  the backend I can do it, whatever you feel comfortable
                  with. I would recommend that you just copy the text
                  from some tweets or facebook posts. It would be real
                  announcements that apple probably wouldn't have a
                  problem with.<br>
                </p>
                <p>Once we have some announcements in there and I've
                  edited the image resources, I should be able to deploy
                  to the app stores and have the 17x ready to
                  install/update in couple days time. I will also update
                  the app store graphics and screen shots with the 17x
                  moniker.</p>
                <p>In my experience, it can take around 48 hours for
                  updates to be approved by the app stores, so we want
                  to make sure that we get as much testing done as soon
                  as we can so that we have time to fix bugs and make
                  updates. Once the conference starts, we probably won't
                  be able to get app updates to the users before the
                  end.</p>

Last year we started working on a mobile app to replace guidebook. We got most of the way there, but didn't quite make it in time to be used for the conference. We'd love to see this app used this year so we're reaching out for your help to get it up and running. We're looking for people to test the app, develop features, find and report bugs, and work on backend features.

the app can be installed on both Android, iOS, and all desktop OS's:

Currently the app is configured for 16x, but we just need the backend API endpoints for 17x and that will be fixed. So if you're the site admin send us the endpoint URLs please!

If you're interested in contributing to the project as a tester, developer, or designer let us know.

Best,
