Add a group to a build

Before adding a group to a build, you must create the group. All testers within this group will have access to the build.

  1. In Apps, select the app you want to view.

  2. Click the TestFlight tab.

  3. In the sidebar, under Builds, click the platform.

  4. On the right, select a build by clicking the app icon or build string for the build from either the Versions or Build Groups tab.

  5. Next to Groups, click the add button (+).

    Note: Only internal tester groups can include builds marked as internal.

  6. Select the group you want to add to the build, then click Add.

    Groups that already include the build can’t be selected again.

    Add a tester group to a build easily using the Versions or Build Groups tab. In the Groups column next to the build, click the add button (+), then select a group from the list of eligible groups.

Add individuals to a build

You can add individual internal or external testers to a build. Individual external testers can't be added to builds that are indicated as internal.

  1. In Apps, select the app you want to view.

  2. Click the TestFlight tab.

  3. In the sidebar, under Builds, click the platform.

  4. On the right, select a build by clicking the app icon or build string for the build from either the Versions or Build Groups tab.

  5. Next to Individual Testers, click the add button (+) and choose an option from the pop-up menu.

    You can add new testers, existing testers, or import testers from a CSV file.

  6. Enter the required information for a tester, then click either Add or Invite.

Remove tester groups or individuals from a build
