Alpha Test: Mobile App 2.0

Alpha Test: Mobile App 2.0


Testing Apps with TestFlight

Help developers test beta versions of their apps and App Clips using the TestFlight app. Download TestFlight on the App Store for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, Watch, and iMessage. Apple Vision Pro will already have TestFlight installed. Information is excerpted from: https://testflight.apple.com/


Getting started

To test beta versions of apps and App Clips using TestFlight, you’ll need to accept an email or public link invitation from the developer and have a device that you can use to test. You’ll be able to access the builds that the developer makes available to you.

If you’re a member of the developer’s team, the developer can give you access to all builds or certain builds

Required platforms

  • iOS or iPadOS apps: iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch running iOS 14 or iPadOS 14 or later. App Clips require iOS 14 or iPadOS 14, or later.


Installing and testing beta apps

Each build is available to test for up to 90 days, starting from the day the developer uploads their build. You can see how many days you have left for testing under the app name in TestFlight. TestFlight will notify you each time a new build is available and will include instructions on what you need to test. Alternatively, with TestFlight 3 or later, you can turn on automatic updates to have the latest beta builds install automatically.

When the testing period is over, you'll no longer be able to open the beta build. To install the App Store version of the app, download or purchase the app from the App Store. In-app purchases are free only during beta testing, and any in-app purchases made during testing will not carry over to App Store versions.

Note: To automatically download additional in-app content and assets in the background once a beta app is installed in iOS 16, iPadOS 16, or macOS 13, turn on Additional In-App Content in your App Store settings for iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

Installation

To get started, install TestFlight on the device you’ll use for testing. Then, accept your email invitation or follow the public link invitation to install the beta app. You can install the beta app on up to 30 devices.

Note: Managed Apple IDs can't be used to test builds.

  1. Install TestFlight on the iOS or iPadOS device that you’ll use for testing.
  2. Open your email invitation and tap "View in TestFlight" or tap the public link on your device.
  3. If you’re a new tester for the app, tap Accept.
  4. Tap Install to install the app on your device.
  5. If you’re a returning tester, tap Update or Open.

Managing automatic updates

After installing TestFlight 3 or later for iOS, iPadOS, or tvOS, TestFlight for visionOS, or TestFlight for macOS, you’ll be prompted to turn on automatic updates. This allows the latest available beta builds to install automatically. TestFlight will notify you each time a new build is installed on your device. Automatic updates can be turned off at any time.

Use TestFlight to change automatic update settings for all of the beta apps you’re testing using TestFlight:

Note: This setting will apply to all new beta app builds. Beta apps that have automatic updates set at the individual app level won’t be affected

TestFlight for iOS or iPadOS

  1. Open TestFlight and tap Settings in the top right.
  2. Tap Automatic Updates for New Apps.
  3. Tap On or Off.

Giving feedback


You are able to give feedback through the TestFlight app, but we are asking users to submit feedback via email or a form. Please email any feedback or questions to: lisa.bono@csmisolutions.com or click here to access the feedback form. The form is also available within the Beta app by clicking the Help button at the bottom of the screen, then clicking the Feedback button.

The inclusion of screenshots or recorded videos greatly helps during this process.

Screenshots:

  1. Take a screenshot on your device. For details on how to take screenshots, see Take a screenshot on your iPhone, Take a screenshot on your iPad.
  2. A thumbnail of your screenshot appears in the lower-left corner of your device. Tap the thumbnail and, if needed, add drawings and text with Markup. Then tap Done.

You will need to complete 1 step once the app is installed to log in with the credentials provided in your introductory email from CSMi.
At the bottom of the login screen of the app it should say a version number. i.e. V1.0.74. We need that to say (DEV) to allow login.

  1. ​Tap on the circle next to the word SportsWare at the top of the screen.
  2. Then tap Development.
  3. Now the version number should say V1.0.74 (DEV) and your credentials below will work.
