How do I distribute beta versions of my app?

Distributing beta versions of your app to testers allows you to gather feedback, identify bugs, and ensure the quality of your app before releasing it to the public. Here’s how to distribute beta versions of your app using TestFlight:

 

  • Prepare Your App: Build and prepare your app for beta testing, ensuring that it meets the necessary requirements and includes any features or changes you want to test.
  • Upload Build to App Store Connect: Log in to App Store Connect and navigate to the “My Apps” section. Select your app and go to the “TestFlight” tab. Upload the beta build of your app using Xcode or Application Loader.
  • Add Testers: Invite testers to participate in the beta test by adding their email addresses to the TestFlight section in App Store Connect. Testers will receive an email invitation with instructions on how to download and install the beta version of your app using TestFlight.
  • Manage Testers and Builds: Manage testers and beta builds in the TestFlight section of App Store Connect. You can add or remove testers, distribute multiple builds, and view feedback and crash reports submitted by testers.
  • Collect Feedback: Encourage testers to use the beta version of your app and provide feedback, report bugs, and submit crash reports using the TestFlight app on their iOS devices.
  • Iterate and Improve: Use the feedback gathered from beta testers to iterate on your app, address any issues or concerns, and make improvements before releasing it to the App Store.

 

By following these steps, you can successfully distribute beta versions of your app to testers using TestFlight, gather valuable feedback, and ensure the quality and stability of your app before releasing it to the public.
