This page outlines our rules for sharing or seeking information on the AppleVis website about beta and preview releases of Apple software.
Apple requires that anybody who legally downloads and installs beta or preview versions of its software accept a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). By accepting this NDA, you are limited to what you can publicly say about the software. If you do not follow these limitations, Apple may take legal action against you.
When posting to the AppleVis website, we ask that everybody respects and honors the Apple NDA (even if you have not personally installed the software or signed the agreement).
Anything which could be considered as technical support with beta software. For example, seeking help with installing/using beta software or problems with native or third-party apps after installing a beta.
Any information publicly shared by Apple about new features or changes in a forthcoming software release is not covered by an NDA. This typically includes information made available at events such as new product launch announcements, Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference, and on the preview pages of Apple's website. Consequently, this information can be freely shared and discussed on the AppleVis website. Additionally, new or changed features in a beta release can be freely shared and discussed on the AppleVis website - even if not originally made public by Apple itself- provided that any post satisfies the rules set out above on this page.
Please note that we reserve the right to remove from the AppleVis website any posts which we believe to be a breach of these rules, as well as questions that could only be answered by breaching them. Removing user-submitted content is never a pleasant decision for us, and something that we only do on the rare occasions when we believe it is necessary in order to protect the reputation and best interests of the AppleVis community.
We welcome and appreciate your support for the rules set out on this page.
