Can this be used in a release distribution app or only beta test ad hoc apps? It sounds like it's only for test distribution, which is cool, but reporting on distribution apps would be nice.

I've been using the beta since it was first released and I've never seen any data for released apps, though I suspect it wouldn't be difficult. I haven't looked in to why it only work in Ad Hoc builds. I agree it would be awesome if only to get crash reports and console logs back through TestFlight.

It seems as though some of the features are very integrated with their backend's view of the world (e.g. sessions and checkpoints are broken down by user, in-app updates require OTA deployment). Not to say that it couldn't be changed to allow anonymous user statistics and pointing users to the App Store for updates. Remote logging, questionnaires, and crash reports would be great to have in production, though!

I'd be very interested to know this as well. I'm yet to use their framework, but am going to integrate it into my next project and these reporting features look very attractive from a production perspective - and for free! Does anybody know their business model? It's such a good idea but I have no idea how it wouldn't be making massive losses.

  There was some sort of announcement (that I can't seem to find) that it is free for developers and that they plan on charging for some sort of enterprise version. This blurb on TC briefly mentions a little bit about it: http://techcrunch.com/2011/01/20/testflight/ http://techcrunch.com/2011/01/20/testflight/

Apple forbid data gathering without user consent, but I think as long as you prompt on start up it should be OK.
