Hi Jon,

I've used TestFlight and MonoTouch without issues. 

It's great that MonoDevelop will add the support, but in the meantime, the .ipa 
is easy to create - just take the output from the MonoTouch project (the 
resulting file in the bin/release folder) and copy it into a folder named 
"Payload".  ZIP that up and rename it to .ipa (instead of .zip).  You can also 
add an image which will be used as the icon for the app - just add it to the 
.zip (not in the Payload folder, but alongside it) and name it "iTunesArtwork".

Then you can drag/drop this in iTunes, or upload it to TestFlight.  Note that 
you do need a proper distribution certificate with each devices id that you 
want to install it onto.  TestFlight makes it easy to capture that - have your 
testers respond to your invite from the iDevice and it sends you the device id. 
 Add that id to your distribution certificate and then sign the app with it and 
you are golden.

Feel free to email me if you have questions or problems!
