For someone who isn't as familiar with the mobile development can you say how do beta testing services like Applause, BetaBound and uTest differ from TestFlight? Is it just that latter are verified to be compliant with the App Store's TOS?
- saagarjha 8y agoYes. Other testing services which rely on enterprise distribution are technically against the rules, although Apple usually turns a blind eye to them unless they're doing something actively malicious.
- bogomipz 8y agoSo are Applause, BetaBound and uTest be considered enterprise distribution then?
- saagarjha 8y agoI have not used these services, but it's very likely that they are since that's basically how all beta testing outside of TestFlight works.
- droussel 8y agoYou can use Ad Hoc deployments, which is what I used to do on TestFlight before it got acquired by Apple.
- saagarjha 8y agoThis requires registering UDIDs, right?
- droussel 8y agoYes, it does. For testing, in smaller business, this is fine however as you can register up to 100 devices. Enterprise certificates were much easier to use in big enterprise thought even if they weren't really "meant" for that purpose.
