[sword-devel] Bishop 1.8.0pre8 Android and iPhone betas available [was: BibleSync]

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Roger on BibleSync.  This release updates to latest BibleSync 2.2.0 with 
patches applied and a PR submitted.  Tested on Android and builds on 
iOS.  I found that I need to apply for a special multicast dispensation 
from Apple.

New iPhone Testflight release.  Invitation: 
https://testflight.apple.com/join/5IpRivsN

Android Beta testers should see 1.8.0pre8 arriving on their phones with 
an update.  The download link for sideloaders is here:

https://crosswire.org/~scribe/bishop-1.7.908.apk

If you'd like to test on Android using the Google Play app store you can:

https://groups.google.com/g/crosswire-google-beta

Look for something like "You don't have permission to access this 
content. For access, try asking to join the group."   Click on that link.

Then after approval (or if your email has already be explicitly included 
from past tests):

https://play.google.com/apps/testing/org.crosswire.bishop

Then (after about 15 minutes or so) your play store install of Bishop 
will have an update available to the beta version instead of stopping at 
the last release version.

Thanks for all the feedback and testing and contributions everyone!

Troy
