Deploying To TestFlight

TestFlight is a free platform used to distribute beta and internal iOS applications to team members over-the-air.

You can upload your app directly to TestFlight from Loom and then log in to TestFlight to make it available to your team.

Preparation

To configure your project for TestFlight, you will need:

• A TestFlight account
• Your TestFlight team token
• Your TestFlight API token
• A version number for your app

You will also need the following iOS-specific items (if you don't have all of these, refer to the Deploying To iOS section under Guides > Devices ):

• A distribution certificate
• An Ad Hoc mobile provision file with an app id that matches your app
