You can add members of the App Store Connect development team and they will have access to the entire app build.

All other invited testers will have access to the builds that the developer makes available to them. A developer can invite you to test the app via an email or public link.

Platform requirements using TestFlight:

  • iOS apps : iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch running iOS 8 or later. App Clips requires iOS 14 beta or later. Sticker pack iMessage apps need iOS 10 or later.

Only that app or app clip can be installed on one device at a time, but testers can choose to switch between the two at any time.

In the App Clips section, click TEST next to the beta clip app you want to try.
