Ease of Distribution
TestFlight simplifies the process of distributing beta versions of your app to testers. You can easily invite testers via email, or they can join via a public link.
Integrated with Apple Ecosystem
As part of the Apple Developer ecosystem, TestFlight seamlessly integrates with Xcode and other Apple tools, making it easier to manage builds and deploy across various Apple devices.
User Feedback Collection
TestFlight allows testers to provide feedback directly through the app, which is consolidated and sent to your Apple Developer account, improving the feedback loop.
Crash Reporting
Built-in crash reporting helps you gather detailed crash logs from testers, enabling quicker diagnosis and resolution of issues.
Automated Updates
Testers receive notifications for automatic updates of new builds, ensuring that they are always testing the latest version.
If you have an Apple Developer account use TestFlight.

Also since it’s mobile, you can’t avoid manual testing completely, no matter how much you automate. Plan to allocate time for testing setup in each project, since TestFlight and Play Store configuration are non-trivial (especially the former). Once again, EAS makes this easier, so save yourself frustration and use it.

Try this https://developer.apple.com/testflight/ and scroll down till it says “Download on the App Store”. I have IOS so it might be different just in case you have something else.

It’s a new concept of language learning app using 3D immersive scenes to help you retain much better and faster ! It’s still a prototype but I’m really curious to hear if it would be useful to some of you in this community. And if not, please let me know what kind of app you would want by answering the survey in the app (click on the home button) I want to hear your opinions to create something that will…

You can generate an iOS build but virtually nobody will be able to install it. You pretty much have to use TestFlight for betas and the regular app store to distribute.

It’s something like the appstore for beta stage applications: https://developer.apple.com/testflight/.

We’re looking for early testers via TestFlight, especially for teachers or students/parents, but anyone welcome to test.

There’s also Firebase App Distribution – takes a little more setup than TestFlight, but your builds are available to testers immediately (each new version on TestFlight requires review, which can take up to 24 hrs).

The closest would be to have it as a registered app, but instead of publishing it, having your uses sign up as testers and install via TestFlight: https://developer.apple.com/testflight/.

Not true, he can use a TestFlight beta to let up to 10,000 people try it without releasing it on the app store.

It’s all hacky from what I’ve seen. There’s nothing like the stability of AOSP-based ROMs such as LineageOS. On iOS, you need to “replenish” unofficial apps, ads/trackers are baked in forever, and users have no control over what base permissions an application has (network access especially).

The easiest way to distribute test builds for iOS is using TestFlight. Perhaps you can configure your CodeMagic setup in such a way that it will upload the app there.

As for mobile devices, both Google and Apple offer this functionality on their respective stores, on Google Play Console and TestFlight for iOS – from there you can upload your builds without requiring store approval and send it to a list of users that you choose. This will either update the app automatically with new releases or send an email to the participants depending on how you configure it.

For iOS, I think your best bet is using TestFlight.

And…Apple limits the amount of beta testers, as does Android. https://developer.apple.com/testflight/ So yes, it was limited to 10k users for this type of app.

Again, complete bullshit. I have been involved in the process of launching a cross-platform app a handful of times. In each of those cases the Apple App Store approval process did not take more than 5 days max. But that is beside the point because you don’t have to go through the App Store to deliver an iOS beta. A few years back Apple acquired a company called TestFlight which allows you to deploy beta versions…

Actually on iOS betas are limited to 10000 accounts. On Android closed betas can have up to 200 lists with 2000 accounts each (400k total). There are also the open betas that can be unlimited or limited to how many accounts the developer wants (at a minimum of 1000).
