Well, Any thoughts my app is still in the beta phase in our process, and not sure we will go thru the apple store until after the IOS6 release. Will the IOS6 release have any bearing on issues with testflight not being on 5.2.13. Because we still plan on sending out beta via testflight during this time. We have had some issue where the user/tester has to install the provisioning profile even thought they already have it on their device.

I totally understand why apple have done things this way, it is just a ball ache when you are in the testing phase, in previous projects 1 or 2 builds per day going out to testers was the norm and I actually worked out my most successful projects were the ones with the most frequent builds as it kept the testers focused on progress. I guess I am still coming round to the apple way of doing things.
