I have got builds in Activity log, and can upload them to the Apple Store, but I'd like to beta test first, with a few of my friends.
When I go to testflight, there are no builds vissible in my Version 1.1, while they are visible in Activity.
Hopefully anyone an explain why I can't see my builds in TestFlight.
Thanks in advance

I have some scenarios that am not really sure about regarding TestFlight and AppStore:
The user has version 1.0 installed on device from TestFlight and then he updates to the same version 1.0 from AppStore. What happens, the build is just overwritten?
The user has version 1.0 installed on device from TestFlight and then he updates to a newer version 1.1 from AppStore. What happens, the build is just overwritten? What is the difference between this case and the previous one?
The same as case 1. does the user receive any notification that the application is available on AppStore?
Any other observations are appreciated.
Thank you very much! :)
To answer 1 & 2 :-
Yeah the app will be overwritten. It will be like a regular app update from the app store. All the data that is saved in the test flight app also will be preserved when you install the app from app store.
Question 3 - No there will not be any notification in the testflight app if the application is available in the app store.
On iTunes Connect website, under build, I have no plus sign. My builds are not appearing.
Version number in the general tab (for the heck of it, build number too) are the same as in my iTunes Connect profile.
I archived an ipa in xcode 7.2 and uploaded to appstore successfully. However it does not appear in the app profile I created under build.
I also used the independent iTunes Connect app which also uploaded the ipa successfully, but it also does not appear in build section on website.
Any ideas what could be causing this issue?
iTunesConnect could be slow and buggy at times.
I encountered the same issue. Couldn't see it for 30+ minutes. Turned off my laptop, went to bed and the next morning it was there.
There will be having some issues with your uploaded build so you can just make appeal to App store technical team with your app id.
They will provide you guide and reason for not showing your build into itunesconnect.
Thanks for the advice. I never contacted Apple, but after 48 hours Apple finally contacted me via email saying that there are swift files that are not supported.
Wonderful. Thanks apple. Personal opinion: should have stayed with Objective-C. But I guess that solves the issue why it was not displaying under the build section on iTunes Connect.
I used to send builds from testflight using Apple's beta testflight. From 1 week my testers won't get emails regarding new build. They have checked in testflight app also but they can't find the builds. Can somebody help me?
Note: I have submitted the app to apple for testflight. It was accepted.
Automatically we got all build mails. There may be issue in apple server or something else.
I have uploaded build on TestFlight beta iTunes. Its status is showing "Created" to me instead of Processing . Does any one know about build status "Created" ? What does this mean ? Does apple need to review ?
You need to wait a bit, Apple is still finishing the touches on uploading and processing your build from the image you attached. You'll be able to tick a selector to the activated position (green) next to beta testing for the version when they are done. Then you'll be able to test it yourself and after they review it (in my experience it takes about a day) then you can invite external testers.
Check this image of one of my apps for reference.
The developer build versions will be made available to testers only after review by Apple.
In my case the builds were approved within 8 hours and i was able to invite the testers to test the build.
I want to upload my Testflight build to apple Appstore so that i can get the crash logs from users and fix them before releasing the next builds.
But i am not sure if i can get the logs from app on Testflight from Appstore build.
On Testflight it is mentioned that we can use the Testflight to get the crash logs from Appstore build as well. But i want to make sure that i will get as much crash logs as i can on Testflight.
I tried the same thing on my own by uploading a build on Testflight and than installing the build on my iPad which i uploaded on the testflight.
But i never recieves any logs on testflight for my build.
But if i Install the same build from Testflight than only i get the logs on testflight.
so i am bit confused if Testflight logs actually works on the Appstore build as well.
If anyone has done this earlier please guide..
I can confirm that this indeed works. I've used this just yesterday with my App during it's launch.
Steps I followed:
Creative an archive of the project.
Submit to the App Store using this Archive.
Create an Ad-hoc build (.ipa file) using the exact same Archive.
Upload the Ad-hoc build to Testflight. It should automatically detect the DYSM for this.
Once you're live on the App Store, and if the app crashes, you'll see it's symbolicated crash report on Testflight (under that particular build of the app).
So make sure you use the same archive, same build number, etc. and you'll be good to go.
I would highly recommend you to use Bugsense https://www.bugsense.com/ to get the crash logs. Its free version is good enough for most app. If you are willing to pay, with a few simple steps, it can help you to symbolize the crash logs (that are hard to understand) to become readable.
