This last section is a tour of App Store Connect and TestFlight, so you know what to expect when the time comes.

Making a New App

Relatively early in the process, you want to stake out some territory.

New Version of an Existing App

For an app released to the store, the first step to uploading a new version is to create a new bundle version number. Then, new uploads require that bundle version number, and, of course, the build number always has to increase.

TestFlight

You’ll also find the TestFlight distribution platform in App Store Connect. Using TestFlight, a team can distribute builds to members of the team and external users. Test devices using the app through TestFlight don’t count against the 100 device limit for Debugging and Ad Hoc builds. Also, the team isn’t required to collect UDID numbers in advance.
