One link two apps. Beta App Release lets you send two specific app versions of both OS (iOS and Android) and deployment environment to your testers and groups.

With beta-releases, you have the possibility to send two apps at the same time. Updraft generates one installation link for your testers. So you don't need to worry about the OS-system of your testers. Updraft detects the OS-system of your testers and displays only the app accordingly the OS.

Step 1 Select your iOS app version

On the first step of the distribution of an app, you have the possibility to select your iOS app version which you want to distribute. All uploaded app versions of your app will be shown by selecting the dropdown.

  1. Chose your App and your Deployment Environment

  2. Chose your App version

  3. Click on Next.

Step 2 Select your Android app version

On the second step of the distribution, you have the possibility to select your Android app version which you want to distribute. All uploaded app versions of your app will be shown by selecting the dropdown.

  1. Chose your App and your Deployment Environment

  2. Chose your App version

  3. Click on Next.

Step 3 Add release notes

On the third step of distributing a new beta app release, you have the possibility to adjust the Release Notes. The Release Notes will be shown to your testers and groups within the e-mail notification and the web-installation page. Click Next.

Step 4 Tester & Groups

On the fourth step of distributing new beta app release, you have an overview of all testers and groups on your distribution list. You can still deselect testers and groups if you want. If everything is fine click on Next.

Step 5 Review your app release

On the last step of distributing a new beta app release, you have all information together. You see again which build you will distribute, you see the release notes as well to how many testers you will distribute your app release. By clicking on Distribute all added users & groups will get notified by e-mail to install your app.

Detection of Testers OS-System

When you send out a beta release, you don't have to worry about your testers' OS system. We only show your testers the app that matches the OS system.
