Ask HN: How do you distribute iOS apps internally?

2 pointsby dickficklingalmost 6 years ago
Our organization has gotten big enough that we&#x27;ve run out of App Store Connect users, and waiting for iOS beta review is slowing down our dev&#x2F;release cycle. We&#x27;d like to be able to build and distribute our app internally to product, design, stakeholders, etc, but I&#x27;m not sure how to go about this.<p>I know some companies use the Apple Developer Enterprise program for this, but I vaguely recall a few companies being kicked out of that program because it&#x27;s not designed for internal testing.<p>So, how do you distribute iOS apps internally once you pass the 50 user App Store Connect limit?

TestFlight. The user limit is 10,000. If beta review is slowing down your dev&#x2F;release cycle, you may be using it incorrectly. After initial beta review, it&#x27;s usually unnecessary to have subsequent versions reviewed unless you&#x27;ve significantly changed the purpose&#x2F;functionality of the app, and that&#x27;s keyed off of the questions they ask you when you upload new betas.<p>From &quot;TestFlight beta testing overview&quot; at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;help.apple.com&#x2F;app-store-connect&#x2F;#&#x2F;devdc42b26b8" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;help.apple.com&#x2F;app-store-connect&#x2F;#&#x2F;devdc42b26b8</a><p><i>A review is only required for the first build of a version and subsequent builds may not need a full review.</i>
