Why TestFlight
TestFlight lets real people try your app before it goes public, so you can catch bugs while testers give early feedback. ✈️
Where Builds Land
Every build you upload shows up under the TestFlight tab in App Store Connect, ready to share with testers.
Internal Testers
Internal testers are people on your team. They get builds instantly with no review, which is perfect for quick checks.
External Testers
External testers are anyone with an email or a public link. Their first build needs a short Apple review before it goes out.
Adding Test Notes
Write clear test notes telling testers what changed and what to try, so their feedback stays focused and useful.
Preparing the Listing
Back on the App Store tab, fill in your app listing: name, description, keywords, and screenshots for every required size.
Privacy Details
Apple requires a privacy section describing the data you collect. Answer it honestly, since reviewers verify your claims.
Attaching the Build
In your app version, select the build you processed earlier. This is the exact binary reviewers will examine.
Submitting for Review
Tap Submit for Review. Your app enters Apple queue, where a reviewer checks it against the App Store guidelines.
Review Outcomes
Apple either approves your app or sends a rejection with reasons. Fix the notes, resubmit, and you are back in the queue.
Going Live
Once approved, choose manual or automatic release. Manual lets you pick the exact moment your app appears on the store.
Quick Check
You are at the finish line. One quick question about TestFlight.
