What does the red dot (circle) next to the app name below the app icon mean?
I added a Today Extension (Widget) to the app. It appears only when I launch the app on the iOS 8, it does not appear on iOS 7 simulator. Even though I removed the extension and cleared the simulator, it still appears before the app name.
回答1:
An Orange dot next to an app normally means it's a beta version, as installed through Testflight. I have a couple of those at the moment, though one looks more red. Trying to find if there's a difference between an orange and a red dot, or if it's just an artefact of the colour of the background image that makes it look red.
回答2:
The dot you see is actually an orange dot, with transparency. On dark backgrounds it seems like it's red. Try changing to a bright background.
回答3:
Orange dots for all beta apps that are downloaded from TestFlight and blue dots for recently updated apps from App Store.
