I am getting a message saying that the developer still needs to add my device?

Sounds like your old device is still registered but not your new one. Make sure your new phone is registered in Hockey and then send a PM to BA App Official.

I actually upgraded my device yesterday to iPhone 6.
Hopefully BA will be able to add the new one at this stage?
Yes, I took part in the previous one indeed.

Hi economyman,
You can only download the app on the specific device you registered for the beta.
If you need to use another device please send me a private message. We do have a limit on the number of devices we can register but I'll see what we can do.
Warm regards
Nick

There's two stages:
1. The device needs to be registered on Hockey
2. The developer then needs to select your device and add it to their supported list for that particular app.
I guess you've done 1 already, but for step 2 the developer has chosen your other device (your new phone probably wasn't listed when they processed your request if you just got it yesterday).

I'm sure a PM will get them to register the correct device for you.

I already got in touch with the developer! Thanks for your help!

So far so good! I was pushed gate info at the same time as it came up on the board (all the way through to my Pebble watch!) I could get used to this... 
Curious what would happen when gate changes occur, but also hoping I never find out.

Hi all,
Thanks to everyone who has sent feedback in the beta test so far. We really appreciate you taking the time to help.
Today we added gate notifications for Heathrow Terminal 3 to the beta. The notifications for Terminal 3 won't include the gate number for the time being, but they will let you know when the gate is open and boarding starts.
Warm regards
Nick

The T5 notifications worked well for me so far, couldn't get the lounge messages (iBeacons?) when I entered the flounge though (bluetooth was on).
I'll be travelling again sometime over the weekend so will let you know via the app if I have any other feedback.

It picks up anything that uses Notification Centre, so pretty much any app.
