ios 您如何对 iPhone 应用进行 Beta 测试？

How do you beta test an iphone app?

提问by Michael Pryor

How can you beta test an iPhone app? I can get it on my own device, and anyone that gives me a device, I can run it on theirs, but is there a way to do a limited release via the app store for beta testing?

如何对 iPhone 应用进行 Beta 测试？我可以在我自己的设备上获得它，任何给我设备的人，我都可以在他们的设备上运行它，但是有没有办法通过应用商店进行有限发布以进行 beta 测试？

In year 2011, there's a new service out called "Test Flight", and it addresses this issue directly.

2011年，有一个新的服务叫“试飞”，它直接解决了这个问题。

Apple has since bought TestFlight in 2014 and has integrated it into iTunes Connect and App Store Connect.

Apple 于 2014 年收购了 TestFlight，并将其集成到 iTunes Connect 和 App Store Connect 中。

Creating ad-hoc distribution profiles

创建临时分发配置文件

The instructions that Apple provides are here, but here is how I created a general provisioning profile that will work with multiple apps, and added a beta tester.

Apple 提供的说明在这里，但这里是我如何创建一个适用于多个应用程序的通用配置文件，并添加了一个 beta 测试人员。

My setup:

我的设置：

Note that there is a distinction between traditional "beta testing" which is done by professional QA engineers, and "public beta testing" which is releasing your product to the public before it's ready : )

请注意，由专业 QA 工程师完成的传统“beta 测试”与在您的产品准备就绪之前向公众发布的“公共 beta 测试”之间存在区别:)

You can do "beta testing" -- loading to specific iPhones/iPods your testers will be using. You can't do "public beta testing" -- pre-releasing to the public.

您可以进行“beta 测试”——加载到您的测试人员将使用的特定 iPhone/iPod。您不能进行“公开 Beta 测试”——预先向公众发布。

There's a relatively new service called HockeyApp, which seems to rival TestFlight, however they claim to give you access to unlimited users, but it does cost some $$ unlike TestFlight which has now been integrated directly into iTunes Connect.

有一个名为HockeyApp的相对较新的服务，它似乎可以与 TestFlight 竞争，但是他们声称可以让您访问无限的用户，但与 TestFlight 现在已直接集成到 iTunes Connect 不同，它确实花费了一些美元。

With iOS 8, Xcode 6, iTunes Connect and TestFlight you don't need UDIDs and Ad Hocs anymore. You will just need an Apple ID from your beta tester. Right now you can only beta test your app with 25 internal testers, but soon 1000 external testers will be available too. This blog postshows you how to setup a beta test with internal testers.

使用 iOS 8、Xcode 6、iTunes Connect 和 TestFlight，您不再需要 UDID 和 Ad Hoc。您只需要 Beta 版测试人员提供的 Apple ID。目前，您只能使用 25 名内部测试人员对您的应用进行 Beta 测试，但很快就会有 1000 名外部测试人员可用。这篇博文向您展示了如何与内部测试人员一起设置 Beta 测试。

You can use AppBox, A mac application that uses your dropbox account to distribute you ad-hoc and enterprise apps, if you want to install form any other browser.

如果您想从任何其他浏览器安装，您可以使用AppBox，这是一个使用您的 Dropbox 帐户向您分发临时和企业应用程序的 mac 应用程序。

Using testflight :

使用测试飞行：

1) create the ipa file by development certificate

1）通过开发证书创建ipa文件

2) upload the ipa file on testflight

2）在testflight上上传ipa文件

3) Now, to identify the device to be tested on , add the device id on apple account and refresh your development certificate. Download the updated certificate and upload it on testflight website. Check the device id you are getting.

3）现在，要识别要测试的设备，在苹果帐户上添加设备ID并刷新您的开发证书。下载更新的证书并将其上传到 testflight 网站。检查您获得的设备 ID。

4) Now email the ipa file to the testers.

4) 现在将 ipa 文件通过电子邮件发送给测试人员。

5) While downloading the ipa file, if the testers are not getting any warnings, this means the device token + provisioning profile has been verified. So, the testers can now download the ipa file on device and do the testing job...

5) 在下载 ipa 文件时，如果测试人员没有收到任何警告，则表示设备令牌 + 配置文件已通过验证。因此，测试人员现在可以在设备上下载 ipa 文件并进行测试工作...

(As the official guide is still missing in this thread..)

（由于该线程中仍然缺少官方指南..）

TestFlight, acquired by Apple and now (iOS8+) available for beta testing makes it easy to hand your app to beta testers without the need to collect device UUIDs beforehand (you only need email addresses of your testers). An extensive guide explaining all necessary steps may be found in the iTunes Connect Developer Guide.

TestFlight被 Apple 收购，现在 (iOS8+) 可用于 Beta 测试，让您可以轻松地将您的应用交给 Beta 测试人员，而无需事先收集设备 UUID（您只需要测试人员的电子邮件地址）。可在iTunes Connect 开发人员指南 中找到解释所有必要步骤的详尽指南。
