Livecode and TestFlight app
Posted: Tue May 26, 2015 1:22 pm
Hi everyone,
I apologize in advance for the length post.
I've recently uploaded an early build of my application to iTunes Connect, and am looking to put together a small group of testers (for feedback, bugs, and general improvement information) using TestFlight.
I posted this issue before in the Livecode for complete beginners yesterday, and got some helpful solutions using AirLaunch. Thought i would post it in this section to see if anyone has run into any issues using TestFlight, or would have any information as to what I may be doing wrong.
I have added myself as an internal tester, and a family member as an external tester. when i view the prerelease section i am presented with two messages. the first stating "To use TestFlight Beta Testing, build 1.5.4 must contain the correct beta entitlement. For more information, see the FAQ." going to the FAQ's provides the following details:
"What should I do if my prerelease build does not contain the correct beta entitlement?
To use the TestFlight app to test your prerelease build, it must be signed with an App Store Distribution Provisioning profile that includes the beta entitlement. New Distribution Provisioning profiles generated in the iOS Developer Center will automatically contain the beta entitlement.
If you have an existing Distribution Provisioning Profile that was generated before the launch of TestFlight Beta Testing, you must regenerate the profile."
As i've made this profile today, I am under the assumption that my provisioning profile is ok on in this regard.
The second prompts me to turn on TestFlight in order to begin testing. I flip the switch, and it turns green. Next, i'm asked to add a tester to begin.
I click to make sure that both the internal, and external testers are present (and they are), but a new message appears on the internal tester page prompting me to turn on TestFlight to begin testing. I jump back over to the build tab, and see that the switch has turned off, and i'm being prompt once more to turn on TestFlight.
I've also noticed that there is a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark in it. My searches online have stated that this could be an issue with the provisioning profile missing the following key:
<key>beta-reports-active</key>
but i have located said key within my provisioning profile. i'm not sure if that helps in any way, but wanted to provide a bit more information as i came across it.
Has anyone been able to successfully use TestFlight, and if so is there something that I'm missing?
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide!
