It's only for Devs right now. You will need to wait until it's in Public Beta. I know I wouldn't share it. Know idea if a persons Apple ID is attached to it in anyway like most apps from the AppStore.
The Download doesn't work with Mac App Store after redeeming the code. There's just the activity indicator all the time and the "download" button is disabled after clicking on it. But nothing is downloaded :/
Am I the only one who has this issue?
Same problem, after it got stuck I deleted from Launchpad and now it wont download it again, cleared everything and even cleared the temp download folder, wont start download again.
