 TestFlight

Anyone able to get Mobile Suite v1.9 to work with  New Test Flight testing service? I'm not able to tells me build is missing beta entitlement :-(

This is what I received from the Mobile App Team:

Through itunesconnect.apple.com the customer can declare internal (25) and external testers (1000). Internal testers can download and test the app without having to submit for “beta review”. If they want to provide external apple id’s then they can do so.

As for provisioning profiles…

1. To use testflightapp.com the customer needs to sign the IPA file using an adhoc provisioning profile for testflightapp.com where they provide UDID’s of specific devices that people will test on.

2. Now that Apple is using itunesconnect.apple.com all IPA files need to be signed by the app store provisioning profile. Through their itunesconnect portal they designate who the internal and external testers are. Also this is where they submit their IPA file signed with the app store provisioning profile.

3. Entitlements.plist is used to grant permissions, for lack of a better term, where the user can grant permissions such as Beta Entitlement. With that said, since testflightapp.com is closing, and the customer should not use the adhoc provisioning profile anymore this shouldn’t be an issue.

4. Basically the customer needs to make sure their provisioning profile is set correctly and the app is resigned with that proper Provisioning profile. The provisioning profile needs to be generated via Xcode 6 since we have implemented iOS 8 compliance for 1.9.

I hope that this helps…. This is a strange time for app submission but the transition from testflightapp.com to itunesconnect.apple.com for testing is a nightmare that I have been living with the past month.

Nope didn't help at all as created new provisioning profiles but according to iTunes connect still missing beta entitlement.
