That’s something I didn’t know

iOS devices are NOT supported as DJI no longer supports the iOS platform with their latest SDK

It’s not a limited beta for the Litchi app, it’s the beta of a new Android app, Litchi Pilot, only available to Litchi owners.

I’m not sure what your point is, the OneBox info is quite clear with “… Litchi Pilot, a brand new app …”

That and their development code precludes the apps in Googles Play Store.

DJIs software development structures and standards are absolutely abysmal.

Does this install on the RC Pro controller?

Release notes for Litchi Pilot 1.0.0_BETA-dji (375)

  • added support for waypoint actions when using curve. The drone will stop in the middle of the curve if the waypoint’s actions require it
  • it is now possible to control the speed and direction of the drone along the waypoint flight path using the forward/reverse remote controller joystick (up to the max flight speed setting)
  • added support for ‘Hold’ finish action where the waypoint flight will not end when the drone reaches the last waypoint
  • when a waypoint flight is paused, it is now possible to manually control the drone, then resume the waypoint flight later from the pause location
  • VirtualStick flight mode renamed to Auto
  • fixed a bug where waypoint flights would not start when cruising speed was set to 0 with the DJI engine
