Hello Jon,

TestFlight is a great service, we use it a lot.

You can use Terminal to create the IPA (basically a ZIP file):

mkdir zip/Payload
cp ../Images/iTunesArtwork.jpg zip/iTunesArtwork
cp -r ../YourApp/bin/iPhone/Release/YourApp.app tozip/Payload
cd zip
zip -r ../YourApp.ipa *

Modify to make it fit your setup.

iTunesArtwork.jpg is a 512x512 version of your app icon (can be PNG as
well).

There was a post build script at https://gist.github.com/963345 that did
that, but it doesn't seem to be available anymore?

Now all you have to do is to upload the IPA. Remember that the tester's
device UDID must be registered with Apple and with TestFlight (they offer an
invitation function, by which you can easily get the UDID when the tester
signs up). Each time you add a new tester's UDID, you need to sign the app
with the new provisioning profile (you get that from Apple's developer site,
or hook up Xcode's Organizer, which can sync profiles).

Hope that helps.

Does anyone know of a MonoDevelop add-in that utilizes the TestFlight Upload
API? That would be pretty awesome.

Mikkel
