TestFlight Users

TestFlight Users Overview

There are two parts to this.

• A user must be registered under your Your App Store Connect User List before they can be added to a TestFlight internal test group for any app
  • As a developer, you are already included as a user with the Role of Account Holder, Admin
• Once the first build for a given app completes, you will be able to configure the TestFlight Internal Testing Group for that app
  • You must add yourself to the TestFlight Internal Testing Group for each app

Your App Store Connect User List

Step 1: add user for access for any of your apps

Before you can select someone for the TestFlight Internal Testing group for any app, you must first add them to your App Store Connect User list.

As a developer, you are already included as a user with the Role of Account Holder, Admin.

You are configuring a private capability for your family using an Internal Testing group. You need the Apple ID email address for each adult installing from your build. When building for a child, you will use an adult's Apple ID, not theirs. See TestFlight for a Child.

First you need to add the email address(es) to your App Store Connect Access Users list:

• Open this link: Users and Access
  • You must provide a role for each person - Customer Support is a good choice
  • Once you have added them here, you'll be able to select them in the TestFlight internal test group for each of your apps

Configure TestFlight Group for the App

Add user for each app

Once you add a user to have access to your TestFlight internal test group for an app, you don't need to do it again - it remains available to them across rebuilds and different versions for that app.

1. Open this link: App Store Connect / Apps to view your apps; log in if needed.

   • Select your Loop app
   • Click on the TestFlight tab
   • If you already have an Internal Testing Group for this app, skip to Step 4

2. Click the blue plus button () next to Internal Testing to add a group.

   

3. Fill out the name you want for the Internal Testing group

   • Be sure to check the box Enable automatic distribution
   • Click Create when done

   

4. You can add or remove emails to the Internal Test Group as any time

   • Click in the box beside each person you want to include
   • Each person in this group will get an email each time you update (build again) using the GitHub Browser Build method
   • Click Add when you are done
   • If building for a minor child, you will send the invitation to yourself or another person because a minor child is not authorized to use TestFlight: See TestFlight for a Child
