The book says that if you open the TestFlight invitation email on a desktop a redemption code will be displayed. As of today, that is not happening on my mac. The page displayed says:
You have been invited to a TestFlight beta app.
If you don’t have TestFlight installed on your iOS device, get it on the App Store. TestFlight requires an iOS device with iOS 13 or later.
No redemption code. Am I missing something? Or has Apple moved the redemption code to somewhere else?
Hi @ckrutsinger! Thanks for pointing this out. Looks like Apple has changed the way Test Flight now works on iOS. Referring to https://testflight.apple.com, it says:
Installing a Beta iOS App via Email or Public Link Invitation
- Install TestFlight on the iOS device that you’ll use for testing.
- Open your invitation email or tap on the public link on your iOS device.
That’s much simpler and more straight forward now.
I only see redemption codes for invitations by email for tvOS apps:
Installing a Beta tvOS App via Email Invitation
- Install TestFlight on Apple TV.
- Open your invitation email on a mobile device or computer.
- Click or tap Start Testing. You’ll be taken to a web page with a redemption code.
- Open TestFlight on Apple TV.
- Go to Redeem and enter the redemption code.
We’ll take a look at this for the next edition to make sure the most current state of things are reflected in the book. Thank again!
