Testing with Testflight

Testflight allows you to invite users to beta test your apps before they are available on the App store. This guide will walk you through the details of submitting an app that can be tested and invite users to test your app.

Step 1: Create an App Record in iTunesConnect

Open iTunesConnect and log in with your AppleID. Select the MyApps icon to go to manage your App Records. Click the + icon and select "New iOS App" as shown here.

Note that the SKU simply needs to be a number that is greater than 1 digit and is not used by another App.

Step 2: Find your Bundle ID and Version number

Also, your Bundle ID + Bundle Suffix must be unique and match the bundle ID in XCode and your version number must also match the one in XCode. You can check the bundle ID and version of your App by clicking on your project in the far left Project Navigator window as shown here:

Step 3: Set an Icon

You cannot submit your App for testing without at least one icon image for your App. Add an icon for the default as shown here:

You can use a site like Makeappicon to construct images of all the useful dimensions for you.

Step 4: Archive and Submit
