Where to find your test links
TestFlight (iPhone and iPad)
- In App Store Connect, open your app and go to TestFlight.
- Create an external testing group and add a build to it. The first build of a version goes through Beta App Review.
- Turn on Public Link for the group and copy it. It looks like
https://testflight.apple.com/join/AbCdEf12.
You can cap the number of testers on the public link in App Store Connect. Testers need the TestFlight app; the page tells them.
Google Play (Android)
- In Play Console, open your app and go to Test and release → Testing.
- Open testing: anyone with the link can join. Copy the "Join on the web" link, such as
https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.example.app. - Closed testing: only listed Google accounts can join. Download your list as CSV, add the addresses to the track's email list, and use the same "Join on the web" link.
Testers should join with the Google account their phone's Play Store uses; the page tells them that too. Any other https link works as well, such as a Firebase App Distribution invite.
What you get
- The right link for each tester: the page guesses iPhone or Android from the phone and shows only the links for the platform they pick.
- Links that stay private: they're not in the page, so they can't be copied without joining.
- A waitlist before launch: without links, people join and the page says you'll be in touch.
- Your list in the panel: email, platform and date, with a CSV download that opens cleanly in Excel or Google Sheets.
- In your testers' language: the page speaks nine languages, right to left for Arabic and Hebrew.
- Spam checks with Cloudflare Turnstile and limits per visitor and per site. Joining twice with the same email doesn't make a second row.
Privacy
People tick a box to agree that you may email them about the beta. The list holds their email addresses, so mention it in your privacy policy, and remove anyone who asks; you can do that from the panel.
Questions
Does it work on my own domain?
Yes. If your AppPage site uses your own domain, the page is at yourdomain.com/beta.
Can testers send feedback?
Yes: add the bug report form and the feature request board to the same site, and open them from your test build.
Do testers get an email from AppPage?
Not yet: they get the links right after joining. Email confirmation and a "the beta is open" email to the whole list are planned.
