TestFlight

TestFlight is Apple's beta testing platform that lets you distribute pre-release versions of your iOS, macOS, and tvOS apps to internal and external testers.

How it works

1. Upload a build to App Store Connect
2. Add testers (internal team members or external beta testers)
3. Testers install the TestFlight app and receive invitations
4. Testers provide feedback including crash reports, screenshots, and comments
5. You review feedback in App Store Connect or via Yeethook in Slack

TestFlight events Yeethook monitors

Yeethook listens for these TestFlight-related webhook events:

• BUILD_BETA_DETAIL_EXTERNAL_BUILD_STATE_UPDATED — Beta build state changes (approved, rejected, expired)
• BETA_FEEDBACK_CRASH_SUBMISSION_CREATED — Tester submitted a crash report
• BETA_FEEDBACK_SCREENSHOT_SUBMISSION_CREATED — Tester submitted a screenshot with feedback

Why use Yeethook with TestFlight?

Without Yeethook, you need to manually check App Store Connect to see new crash reports and feedback. With Yeethook:

• Instant notifications — Crash reports arrive in Slack within seconds
• Enriched data — With a p8 key, Yeethook includes full crash logs, tester names, device details, and screenshots
• Team visibility — Your entire team sees feedback without opening App Store Connect
• Faster response — Catch critical bugs before they ship to more testers

Common workflows

• Route crash reports to #bugs channel
• Send screenshot feedback to #design or #feedback channel
• Notify when beta builds are approved or rejected
• Track which testers are most active
