TestFlight
TestFlight is Apple's beta testing platform that lets developers distribute pre-release versions of their iOS apps to internal and external testers before App Store submission.
TestFlight is integrated into App Store Connect and supports up to 10,000 external testers. It lets you distribute beta builds, collect feedback, and identify issues before your public release.
Using TestFlight effectively can improve your app quality and ratings by catching bugs before they reach users. Better quality leads to better reviews, which improves your conversion rate and search rankings.
When your app is ready, publish to all markets with AppDrift's automated publishing.
