iOS App Version
New App version is available which supports the new user-role 'tester': https://apps.apple.com/us/app/updraft-app-distribution/id1634613440
Version 3.3
We have introduced a new user role called Tester. This role is specifically designed for users involved in testing and quality assurance processes. Testers have limited permissions and access to areas relevant to testing.
The new Tester Dashboard provides users with the Tester role a centralized view of all their assigned apps, allowing for a more structured and efficient management of test workflows.
The Advanced Access Management has been upgraded, offering more granular control over project and app access. Administrators can now define more detailed app environment permissions for different user roles and permission groups, ensuring users only have access to the apps relevant to them. You can give access for users only e.g. to your staging or test application.
With the new Features for Permission Groups, administrators can manage app permissions more flexibly. Group-based permissions have been enhanced to allow more complex and flexible access control management. Each user can be added to a permission group. Permission group can be assigned to projects. With SSO, the SSO group mapping is made automatically.
Updraft now offers full support for Windows platform, expanding the software’s compatibility and ensuring smooth usage on Windows operating systems. Following file types are supported: .msix, .msixbundle, .msixupload, .zip, .msi, .appx, .appxbundle and .appxupload.
Microsoft Entra, Google Workspace SSO and Custom SSO (SAML) is available in the Enterprise Plan
Newly it's possible to create distribution groups and import a list of testers e-mail address with the help of .csv. The testers e-mail addresses are added to the distribution group.

Version 3.2
We are thrilled to announce the release of Updraft Version 3.2, packed with exciting new features to enhance your app development experience. In this release, we are introducing a major new feature: the ability to sign iOS and Android apps directly within Updraft without having XCode or Fastlane installed on your computer.
With Updraft Version 3.2, you now have the power to sign your iOS apps and all app extensions using new certificates and provisioning profiles. This means seamless integration into your iOS development workflow, allowing you to streamline the signing process and deploy your apps with confidence.
But that's not all – Updraft Version 3.2 also empowers you to sign your Android App Bundles (AAB files) using your Play Store Keystore. This simplifies the app signing process for Android developers, ensuring smooth deployments to the Google Play Store.
