Managing TestFlight (iOS Beta Testing)

The Release Manager includes built-in TestFlight management, so you can organize beta testers and share test builds without leaving your Tapcart dashboard. The TestFlight panel appears on the Create Release page when you select an iOS TestFlight build type.

Beta Groups

Creating a group

  1. Click "New Group" (or "Create Beta Group" if you don't have any groups yet)

  2. Enter a group name (e.g., "External Beta Testers")

  3. Choose a group type: External (supports public link sharing) or Internal (for testers within your organization)

  4. Click "Create Group"

Adding and Removing Testers

Adding a tester

  1. Select the group you want to add the tester to

  2. Use the dropdown to search and select a team member from your App Store Connect account

  3. Click "Add Tester"

Once added, the tester appears in the list with their name, email, and status badge — Installed (green), Invited (blue), Not Invited (gray), or Expired (red).

Removing a tester

Hover over a tester row and click the X button. The tester is removed immediately.

Public Link

For external groups, you can enable a public link that lets anyone join your TestFlight beta without a personal invitation.

Enabling a public link

  1. Select an external beta group

  2. In the Public Link card, click "Enable Public Link"

  3. Once enabled, you'll see a QR code, the link URL with a "Copy Link" button, and a settings icon for additional options

You can set a tester limit (1–10,000) via the settings icon. When the limit is reached, no new testers can join via the public link. Public links are not available for internal groups.
