TestFlight for Android apps


TestFlight team has started Android service besides iOS one.

I am a bit reluctant into moving to TestFlight as Android testing system is pretty easy: build APK and distribute it to everyone. No UDIDs complications like when testing iOS.

Can someone tell me what are the pros and cons of switching to TestFlight for Android?


Solution

  • We use testflight for IOS and Android.

    Main Advantages for us:

    • same process for IOS and android
    • make distribution lists, control who you distribute your apps to

    Disadvantage (for us):

    • users need to create a testflight account
    • the occasional service issue (slow upload/download, downtime, etc. It happens)

    We send builds to testflight automatically (https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Testflight+Plugin / disclaimer I maintain that plugin), and internally all our team members can access any version. In a distributed environment, with multiple products and versions it is very practical.
