ELI5 — The Vibe Check
TestFlight is Apple's way of letting you share beta versions of your app with testers before it goes live. Testers download the TestFlight app, you send an invite, and they get to find all the bugs before your actual users do.
Real Talk
Apple's official beta testing platform for iOS, macOS, tvOS, and watchOS apps. TestFlight supports internal testing (up to 100 App Store Connect users, no review needed) and external testing (up to 10,000 testers, requires beta review). Beta builds expire after 90 days.
When You'll Hear This
"Push the build to TestFlight so the QA team can start testing." / "External TestFlight requires Apple review, but it's way faster than full App Store review."
