Or you could use enterprise distribution, which is the "correct" route for apps that don't go through the app store. But TestFlight is probably the simplest way to distribute an app to a handful of people and the only real problem with it is the need to distribute a new build every 90 days.
- snowwrestler 7y agoSince Apple really loves to lean in on the “anyone can learn to code” message around iOS (see: Swift playgrounds), it would be cool if they could figure out how to do a family-and-friends version of enterprise distribution. Some official way to let small groups of people build things for each other without having to list them in the App Store for anyone to find.
