Summary

Ionic Enterprise Edition provides a comprehensive guide for using Apple's TestFlight service to facilitate user testing for iOS applications. TestFlight allows developers to distribute early app builds to a select group of up to 10,000 testers, enabling them to provide feedback prior to the official App Store release. The document outlines the necessary steps for integrating TestFlight with Ionic Pro, including setting up provisioning profiles, certificates, and the necessary tooling such as the Ionic Pro Deploy plugin. This integration allows developers to deliver code updates throughout the 90-day testing cycle, ensuring the app is up-to-date with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript changes without needing a new upload unless native layer changes are made. The process involves configuring the app in Xcode, setting up signing and distribution profiles, and using iTunes Connect to manage testers and beta-test reviews. Ionic's guide emphasizes the importance of proper configuration and provides resources for additional support through its Enterprise Customer Success team.
