Where to Go From Here?
In this TestFlight tutorial, you learned how to upload your test build, invite internal and external testers to your app, start beta testing, and gather feedback from your testers. You also saw how this process works from the testers’ point of view.
If you’re interested in learning more about App Store Connect in general, and beta testing in particular, read through Apple’s TestFlight Beta Testing Documentation.
Apple’s Developer site also has a summary page for TestFlight, which includes links to all the relevant documentation, as well as a video, iTunes Connect: Development to Distribution, outlining the TestFlight process.
If you want to learn more about the process of submitting apps to the App Store, and not only the beta testing aspect of it, check out our two-part tutorial How to Submit An App to Apple: From No Account to App Store.
For a complete guide to getting your apps into the hands of the public, read our book iOS App Distribution & Best Practices.
Finally, there is an App Store Connect API. This API allows you to invite testers, upload builds, set test and compliance information and more. You can use this in your CI/CD tools. Even better, if you use fastlane, all that automation is already integrated. Check out our fastlane tutorial for more information.
