Send to testers

Send a version of your app to your testers so they can install it with TestFlight on an iPhone and from Google Play on an Android phone.

First, finish each store’s setup, and push the changes that testers should get. FlutterFlow builds each version from your app, not a thread.

Send a version

To send a version to testers:

  1. In Releases, in the bar at the top of the page, click Send to testers.
  2. In the drawer that opens, review the stores that it lists. To send to one store only, clear the other store’s checkbox.
  3. Click Send to testers.

Result: FlutterFlow prepares the app for each store and uploads it: the iPhone app to TestFlight and the Android app to Google’s closed test. Apple processes the iPhone app before TestFlight offers it to testers.

FlutterFlow doesn’t add testers for you. Add them in App Store Connect and Play Console. See Add testers.

First Google Play rollout

If your app has never had a release rolled out in Google Play, Google Play keeps FlutterFlow’s first test upload as a draft, and your testers don’t get it until you start the rollout. The Google Play card then shows Roll out 0.1 in Play Console, with your version’s number.

To roll out the draft:

  1. On the Google Play card, click Open Play Console.
  2. In Play Console, start the rollout of the draft test release.

Later test uploads roll out automatically, so you do this only once.

Stop a version

While FlutterFlow is still building the app for a store, you can stop it, for example if you sent a version too early.

To stop a version:

  1. On the Releases page, click the header of the App Store or Google Play card.
  2. Click Stop.

FlutterFlow stops preparing the app for that store only. Stop disappears after FlutterFlow starts uploading the app, and on Google Play during the last step of preparing the app.
