With the recent release of our new mobile redesign, we were able to improve the install experience and provide you with some much needed account & device management tools. Additionally, we’re happy to announce that Anonymous Builds are once again fully supported and Build Share Links no longer require authentication.

TestFlight mobile was a complete rewrite and we encountered some issues along the way, but with your help and feedback, these issues have been resolved. Thanks for your patience and support!

Getting flooded with notifications?

We’re here to help! As the developer community scrambles to adjust to iOS 6, we’ve had to make some changes here at TestFlight as well. Here’s a few tips to help your testers get over pesky hurdles and get your SDK up to date.

Device re-registration fixes for iOS5 and iOS6

We’ve seen some errors surface with device re-registration due to our SSL certificate update changing from www.testflightapp.com to a wildcard cert *.testflightapp.com. These steps will help get problematic devices back to testing in no time:

  1. Remove the TestFlight webclip profile (settings>general>profiles)
  2. Clear the cookies and cache
  3. Restart Device
  4. Login to https://testflightapp.com/dashboard/ on Mobile Safari.
  5. Touch register and complete the registration process.
