Seeking XG Mobile iOS Beta-testers

Hello Everyone,

Several of you may have experienced some issues in XG Mobile iOS. Apparently an "Access violation" error can happen when asking for hint or using the Tutor.

I never been able to produce the issue (it would have been to easy) so I put a Beta version using TestFlight, Apple's testing system, and I am seeking beta tester to try to solve that issue.

If you are interested, please email me at contact@extremegammon.com with your AppleID and I will add you to the list. You will need to download Testflight from the app store and you will see XG Mobile as an entry there once I add you. Users experiencing the problem are clearly a primary target for me, but any other player are welcomed to join: the larger the pool, the more issue I can find.

I've recompiled XG Mobile using the latest version of Delphi, so it possible the problem got solved in that release.

Here are the testing notes:

The main thing is to track the bug on hint/tutor.

Also please check in Regular (non-premium mode) as the ads are now coming from AdMOb.

You can pick the mode upon start or change at any time from the about screen.

If a crash happens, reopen the App, go to the menu "Export", pick the file "Debug Log" and press "email". Sent it to xavier@extremegammon.com or contact@xg-mobile.com.

And here is the changes:

Added an easy way to set the computer strength on the new game screen.

Show Pip count when showing hint no matter what the Pip count setting is.

Added Threshold and option for Tutor/Training Mode (Options>>Game Options)

Thank you for your help.
