Image Playground stuck at Early Access requested

its been 24 hours for me. anyway to by pass this anyone?

i’ve been stuck for almost 2 years now! oh wait we’re not talking about my life, just access to this stupid app. ugh it’s only been a little while

Requested access Day 1 and still no access. Don’t mind waiting, just so long as it isn’t one of my settings causing me to miss out.

Location is US and language US English. (British but living in the US so sometimes things get a little mixed up)

Check the settings to see if there is a new notification. Not in the Playground app.

It’s been 9 days for me. I upgraded to iOS 18.2 on Monday October 21 2024, I guess that was when iOS 18.1 was released to the public. maybe one day I will see it.

It’s a few days now and I’m still not able to get access ……. can anyone frm apple tell me how to gain access .

I’ve be stuck for 3 or 4 days now

They allowed it to be downloaded even if you're not a dev. Assuming they're only rolling to paying developers.

I don't believe anyone from Apple is actually looking at this. I myself have been stuck since day 1. No reply from feedback, nothing. If they are going to release these betas then make the features available

Don't stress yourself. Image Playground is quite funny, but after 10 minutes you've seen it.

Hello all,

I recommend that you take this issue to the Apple Support Community.

The Developer Forums are for questions about development on Apple platforms, and this is not a development-level issue.

Best regards,

Greg

I requested mine Saturday 10/26 at 1am. It is now 10/31 at 10 am. I still have not received access. What is going on?

I got it a little late, but I’ve still been waiting 30+ hours and this is ridiculous.

Hello all. Just wanted to update you on my experience:

TL;DR: Granted access after 8 days; requested about 3 hours after the beta went live; a friend who requested at the same time hasn’t received access yet; Apple has confirmed access will be rolled out over weeks (plural); hang in there and try to be patient, it will come!!

I downloaded the beta on Wednesday the 23rd at around 3:15pm Central Time (a little over 3 hours after it was released I believe) and requested access right away. I just now got access at 12:00 pm on the 31st.

I have a friend who downloaded and requested at basically the same time who has not gotten it yet.

Also, just a reminder that Apple has officially stated that this is an actual waitlist and it is rolling out over weeks (plural) so it may take a while before you get it.

I know it’s really difficult when we are all so anxious to try it out and see how it works and can be incorporated into apps, but try to have patience. It will come eventually!!

A final note: the Playground app did switch to telling me it was downloading instead of the “access requested“ message shortly before I got the notification that it was ready. Screenshots are attached.

Smae here for 5 days awaiting playground. Further more working fine in Netherlands (Europe😀) on a US apple id
