# TestFlight
|
|
|
|
Always ship to TestFlight first. Internal testers, then external testers, then App Store. Never skip this.
|
|
|
|
## Submit
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npx testflight
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
That's it. One command builds and submits to TestFlight.
|
|
|
|
## Skip the Prompts
|
|
|
|
Set these once and forget:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
EXPO_APPLE_ID=you@email.com
|
|
EXPO_APPLE_TEAM_ID=XXXXXXXXXX
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The CLI prints your Team ID when you run `npx testflight`. Copy it.
|
|
|
|
## Why TestFlight First
|
|
|
|
- Internal testers get builds instantly (no review)
|
|
- External testers require one Beta App Review, then instant updates
|
|
- Catch crashes before App Store review rejects you
|
|
- TestFlight crash reports are better than App Store crash reports
|
|
- 90 days to test before builds expire
|
|
- Real users on real devices, not simulators
|
|
|
|
## Tester Strategy
|
|
|
|
**Internal (100 max)**: Your team. Immediate access. Use for every build.
|
|
|
|
**External (10,000 max)**: Beta users. First build needs review (~24h), then instant. Always have an external group—even if it's just friends. Real feedback beats assumptions.
|
|
|
|
## Tips
|
|
|
|
- Submit to external TestFlight the moment internal looks stable
|
|
- Beta App Review is faster and more lenient than App Store Review
|
|
- Add release notes—testers actually read them
|
|
- Use TestFlight's built-in feedback and screenshots
|
|
- Never go straight to App Store. Ever.
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
**"No suitable application records found"**
|
|
Create the app in App Store Connect first. Bundle ID must match.
|
|
|
|
**"The bundle version must be higher"**
|
|
Use `autoIncrement: true` in `eas.json`. Problem solved.
|
|
|
|
**Credentials issues**
|
|
```bash
|
|
eas credentials -p ios
|
|
```
