Testflight is used to distribute apps that are not live in the App Store.

The preferred method is to use a beta URL that is shared with testers to install the app through Testflight. After testing is complete, access can be revoked at any time.

Other options include collecting testers’ emails in advance and adding them to an approved list of people who have access to the app, and then sharing app access with them via email. This process usually leads to 10-20% of testers dropping out of testing.

Testers can install app directly from App Store from a link you provide

Share a link via Google beta to give testers access to the app

Collect Google Play (gmail) email addresses as the first step in your Task / Survey builder and invite approved users via email to access the app

Upload an APK file of the app anywhere on the web and provide a link to the file so testers can install it on their Android devices

Upload an APK file directly to BetaTesting with any specific instructions to install the APK (security settings to bypass, etc)
