TestFlight
TestFlight is an Apple platform for beta testing iOS, iPadOS, tvOS, watchOS, and macOS apps before they are released on the App Store. It allows developers to distribute pre-release builds to internal testers and external beta testers, collect feedback, and monitor crash reports. The platform is integrated with Apple's development tools like Xcode and App Store Connect, streamlining the testing workflow.
Developers should use TestFlight when building apps for Apple platforms to conduct thorough beta testing with real users, identify bugs, and gather user feedback before public release. It is essential for ensuring app quality, compatibility across different Apple devices, and compliance with App Store guidelines, particularly for apps targeting a wide audience or requiring user validation. Use cases include testing new features, performance optimization, and localization checks.
