TestFlight Beta Information

The TestFlight Beta Information allows you to manage and monitor your application's TestFlight-related metadata directly within Appcircle. From a single interface, you can review the current testing status of your binaries, manage beta app information shown to testers, and configure beta review details synchronized with App Store Connect.

Testing Status​

The Testing Status tab provides visibility into binaries that are currently assigned to TestFlight testing groups.

This tab displays testing-related statuses such as:

  • Ready for Beta Testing
  • Approved
  • In Testing

The information shown in this section is based on the TestFlight Beta Information available on App Store Connect.

Localization Settings​

The localization dropdown allows you to select the language in which you want to present your app’s beta information metadata on the TestFlight. This feature supports multiple languages, ensuring that you can target specific demographics and cater to a global audience.

When you select a language, you will provide localized versions of your app's beta information metadata, including descriptions, feedback email and urls. Localization helps in reaching a wider audience by providing information in the users' native language.

Localization

The localization option in the Beta App Information section applies only to the Description, Feedback Email, Privacy URL, and Marketing URL fields.
