Internal testing track

Internal testing allows quick distribution of app builds to a small group of testers.

This test is used for initial QA checks. You can distribute your app to up to 100 invited testers. Feedback from these testers won’t affect your app’s public rating and is only visible to the Developer Account.

After publishing the internal test for the first time, it may take a few days for the test link to become available. After that, any new release will be available within a few hours. This build can be tested directly without a review.

For paid apps, testers can install the application for free.
