Publishing to TestFlight, new testers, do I really need to rebuild/download my provisioning profile?
No need to rebuild the .ipa
- Upload the .ipa
- Send invitations to testers
- Add their devices to provisioning profile
- Download the approved profile
- Go to TestFlight builds >> Permissions >> Upload profile ...
- Click Send Email/Update
- You're done - the new user get's the link to download the app.
Hope that helps.
Yes, you need to go thru that manual process to add UDIDs to your profile. There's no way around that, unfortunately.
After you create a new provision you can use xcode to "sync" the new provisions file if you would like. Open it up, go to the Organizer, select "Provisioning Profiles" on the left and press refresh. I honestly do it manually, it's not that much work after all.
Testflight has an option to update your provisioning file since a couple of months. Before it was already there, but "Area 51" features should be enabled to see it.So step 8, 9 and 10 are not needed anymore..
