Some developers releasing apps on TestFlight as a less restrictive App Store alternative

According to a new report, some iPhone and iPad developers are choosing to publish their apps to TestFlight, which is Apple's service for over-the-air installation and testing of iOS apps, and leave it at that. Users, assuming they know where to look, can download and use these pieces of software via the TestFlight app, which is available for free on the App Store.

AdjacentPeriod makes the period key appear adjacent to the space bar at all times

Chronic typists, especially those who use the iOS platform for such works, will find that the process of adding a period to the end of a sentence is somewhat cumbersome. This is due to how the iOS keyboard is designed, initially necessitating that the user enters a second keyboard state comprised of other symbols just to access the period key.

As you begin using the keyboard in the Safari web browser, however, you’ll notice that a period key naturally appears adjacent to the space bar to make inputting periods easier – this is a valuable asset when inputting URLs. If you, like me, wish that the keyboard experience was exactly like this system-wide, then you’re probably going to appreciate a new jailbreak tweak dubbed AdjacentPeriod by iOS developer Mikeneko.
