2.) In the top tab menu, click on TestFlight.
4.) Now click on the section dropdown for your most recent build that you'd like to add testers to. Then click on the build number, which is usually a blue number like 102 or similar, depending on what version of your app this is. In this case our build is 107. Note that the Status immediately after uploading will usually be "Processing". Once finished after about 30 minutes, the status will change to "Ready to Submit" as seen here.
5.) In the Test Details section, be sure to specify what you would like users to test.
7.) Next, we'll add our testers by name and email (does not need to be an Apple ID email), then click Next.
8.) Apple requires us to provide a feedback email for our testers, our contact information, and any sign-in information Apple might need to review our app. You'll want to have an account made for Apple so they can test your app. If your app does not require sign-in, you can un-check this box. Click Next when you're done filling everything out.
9.) Lastly, tell your testers what they should be testing in your app, then click Submit for Review. Your testers will receive an email invite. If your users do not already have the TestFlight app installed to their iPhones, they will be prompted to install the TestFlight app from the app store and download your new app version. Users who have TestFlight already installed will be notified that they have a new app or new app version to test.
To delete a testing group, hover over its name in the left-hand menu, then click the red minus sign. The App Store Connect group cannot be deleted.
You can remove a TestFlight version from review by clicking remove from review in the blue banner that appears after you have submitted a build.

2.) If your users do not already have the installed to their iPhones, they will be prompted to install the TestFlight app from the app store and download your new app version. Users who have TestFlight already installed will be notified that they have a new app or new app version to test.
1.) After logging into , click on My Apps, then click on the app you would like to start testing.
3.) By default, your account is the only one who can Internally test apps, however you can add more Internal testers by adding users to your App Store Connect account by following . If you don't want users to have access to your Apple Developer account, you can use External Testing instead. Click on the iOS button in the Builds section of the left-hand menu.
6.) To add users Individually, just click the blue plus sign next to the Individual Testers section. Then click either Add New Testers, Add Existing Testers (must be users in your App Store Connect account), or Upload via CSV. For this walkthrough, we'll select Add New Testers. You can also add whole Groups of testers under the Groups section. Note that these need to be set up beforehand - see the Creating Testing Groups section later in the Walkthrough for setting up groups of testers.
