Which configuration mode does TestFlight use?

Tags:

testflight

I am setting up the production, staging and development stacks/configurations modes for my iOS and API (backend).

I figure the "RELEASE" mode definitely be when the application is public on the app store. I would like to know which configuration mode is used when the iOS application is distributed on TestFlight ?

I understood that the scheme is what determines which configuration mode is used. While I upload the .ipa to TestFlight the Archive scheme is used.

Therefore, now I would like to know if there is a way to have a different configuration for what is on TestFlight and what is released.

What I am trying to solve We use TestFight to distribute the application to our external testers and stake holders. Therefore would like that application to have a different configuration (e.g. SERVER_ENDPOINT_URL)

Thanks!

Well, I found out that I what I want to accomplish is not possible. Nor was the system built in a way to address my issue.

So what I am doing now is.

  • Archiving a build with "debug" configuration
  • Uploading to TestFlight and distributing the executable
  • After testing is complete
  • Recompile / re archive the build with "release" configuration
  • Upload to iTunesConnect and publish the application

Thanks!
