How to upload IPA file to new testflight?

Question

I have the first version of the app released in the app store. I am currently working on the second version, previously I used a test flight to import an IPA file for testers. But while they close and go to the iTunes Store. So my doubts about the new methods are:

• How to download test builds (IPA)
• I need to import a lot of test collections to achieve stable. Is it possible here? like a test flight
• Do I have to change the version number of the test assembly each time?
• Since I already released version 1, is it possible to use the same name for a test build?

Answer 1

1.) In Xcode Product -> Archive and then send to itunesconnect. (as if you sent it for a new version)

2.) yes, not a problem. All new loaded assemblies are "preliminary". When you want to send it to the AppStore, you select one of the preliminary versions.

3.) No, I keep the same version number for all new collections, but I increase the build number (you can do this automatically by adding a new build phase to the script:

buildNumber=$(/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Print CFBundleVersion" "${PROJECT_DIR}/${INFOPLIST_FILE}") buildNumber=$(($buildNumber + 1)) /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Set :CFBundleVersion $buildNumber" "${PROJECT_DIR}/${INFOPLIST_FILE}" 

)

4.) yes, just increase the version number to 1.1 and download it with the same package identifier.

Respond to your own case with Expo:

In Xcode 9.3, go to:

 Xcode > Open Developer Tool > Application Loader 

1. Log in with your AppleID. *

2. You can now import and download the .ipa file into iTunesConnect. *

Answer 3

Apple has stopped using Testflight directly, as before.

So now you need to load the assembly into iTunesConnect and enable it for Testflight Testing .

You can link to a document for this here and here .

Respond to your own case with Expo:

In Xcode 11, you need to upload IPA file use the command line :

 $ xcrun altool --upload-app --type ios --file <IPA_FILE_THAT_YOU_HAVE_UPLOAD_FROM_EXPO_BUILD> --username "YOUR_APPLE_ID_USER" --password "YOUR_ITMC_PASSWORD" 

Example:

 $ xcrun altool --upload-app --type ios --file demo-app-1d7ce261-c1ef-47e2-8925-02828bb73418-archive.ipa --username " [e-mail] " --password "tcxp-wwzq-ujse-decv" 

NOTE:

YOUR_APPLE_ID_USER is usually the iCloud email address that you use to sign in to your Apple-Developer account.

YOUR_ITMC_PASSWORD is NOT password your iCloud account. You should generate it on the https://appleid.apple.com/account/manage page:
