App Beta iOS with TestFlight

I'm sending the first version of a app to Apple Store , however, before sending it to production, I'll make it available first to Beta Testers .

Currently, the status for External Testing is:

  

Waiting for Beta App Review

And the status for Apple Store is:

  

Prepare for Submission

My questions are:

  • Do I need to submit to Apple Store to release the beta?
  • Is beta testing as rigorous as production version ( Apple Store )?
  • Is the approval period the same for Beta and Production?

    Do I need to submit to the Apple Store to release the beta?

    There is no need, there are two distinct processes, as you will really want to test before you submit a final version to the store. Then you can submit for testing as many times as necessary before submitting a final version.

      

    Beta analysis is as strict as the production version   (Apple Store)?

    The rigor is the same, since the TestFlight version should follow the even guideline revision . But in this case, you can explicitly state that it is a beta, demo, test, and so on. In a production version, if any of these indications are in your application, it will be rejected.

      

    Is the approval period the same for Beta and Production?

    The approval period is shorter, around 48 hours and a trial version is available for 30 days .

    Remembering that there are two ways to do these tests:

    • For internal users you do not need to submit for beta review, these are iTunnes Connect users who have any of the 3 access permissions to your application. Up to 25 users.
    • External users are those who are not part of your team and do not have access to iTunes Connect . Up to 1000 users.

    In both cases, you need to register them in advance and they received an email to activate the first time. From there, the TestFlight application itself will notify each new version.
