Apple announced at WWDC 2021 that the company will bring TestFlight to the Mac for the first time. The platform, which is currently available on iOS, iPadOS, and tvOS, allows developers to provide beta versions of their apps to users outside of the App Store. Now macOS is following suit.
Apple has now officially released TestFlight as a beta for macOS. However, only registered developers have access.
TestFlight Beta requires macOS Monterey
Use the beta version of TestFlight for Mac to test your Mac apps. You can invite registered Apple developers to download this beta version and use it to test your apps on macOS Monterey Beta 5. We'd also love to hear your feedback on TestFlight for Mac, which you can provide through the Feedback Assistant. If you're using this version of TestFlight on macOS Monterey Beta 5 or earlier, you'll need to exit the beta version of your native Mac app before you can update it, as the system won't prompt you to exit it before updating. Please also note that VoiceOver is not fully functional in this version of TestFlight.
Accordingly, TestFlight for macOS is now available for download on the Apple Developer Portal ready. It requires a Mac with macOS Monterey. In addition, only applications created with the Xcode 13 beta and submitted to App Store Connect can be tested. (Photo by Unsplash / Gustas Brazaitis)
