My developers time is far to expensive to waste time on testing against versions of operating systems that are beta but then the sort of software we develop can be automatically tested. I certainly can't afford to ask developers to play around with beta releases. Another question. Are you controlling the roll out of OS for your user base? I know when I was in industry, IT would always test all critical software before allowing updates of operating systems to be installed.

If you are in that kind of environment, then it makes sense, but FMEA has no control over the roll out of OS, and Apple makes if difficult for users to prevent upgrade, so in that situation, especially when it has the potential to significantly cut into their revenue stream as players abandon playing until Apple releases a patch at some point in the future, as Apple makes it extremely difficult to downgrade if there is a problem with an update, I find it hard to argue that developer time is more important than preventing a significant Business Interruption.
