How to distribute multiple versions of my app?

I want to distribute two versions of my app, the stable branch as well as the current development trunk, using TestFlight. And, if possible, I want to invite the testers only once.

Can I have two versions of one app in one TestFlight team? Or maybe two app with different namens? Or can I create a second team and link it to the first one or copy the testers over?

Unfortunately I think there is no nice way to do that. Your options are:

  • Two different TestFlight teams. You'll have to invite people to both teams. But, TestFlight is clever and if it already knows about a user in another team who is in the provisioning profile in the IPA you upload, then you select that they can access the build, it will auto-invite the user.

  • Use different app IDs for your stable and development branches.

I would personally go for the first option.

Yes. TestFlight now lets you distribute and test multiple builds at the same time, so testers can choose from a number of builds to test.

Tap on build in test flight(mobile app) and you can see an option i.e. -Previous Builds
