The Yellow Click - A Click Counter beta program allows users to test beta versions of apps and App Clips using TestFlight on iOS, iPadOS, Mac, Apple TV, Apple Vision Pro, Watch, and iMessage. Testers need to accept an email or public link invitation from developers to access the beta builds. Each build is available for testing for up to 90 days. TestFlight notifies users of new builds and provides instructions for testing. In-app purchases are free during beta testing but do not carry over to the App Store version. Testers can provide feedback to developers through TestFlight, including reporting issues and suggesting improvements. Automatic updates can be enabled for beta apps. Testers can manage automatic update settings for all beta apps or individual apps. TestFlight allows testers to access previous builds for testing purposes. Feedback submitted through TestFlight is shared with Apple and tied to the tester's Apple ID.

Infamously, there was a third party camera app, Camera+, that turned the Volume Up button into a shutter release. Apple pulled it from the store—and then released the same feature for the built in Camera app.

- crashes if you hold one of the volume buttons for long
JUST LEARNED THIS... Apparently, Apple prohibits apps from altering hardware functions like volume buttons. So, that likely means this app won't get published on App Store.
But it's been fun to learn Swift and Objective-C from building this simple app.
If I want this to be released, I would need to remove the volume button control and only support swipe gestures.
I can also make this open-source if you are interested in learning how it works.
Lemme know what you think.
Really nifty idea to use the volume buttons instead of the touchscreen.
