Gathering your List of Users

Only two things are needed:

  • Universal Device Identifier # (found by going to http://whatismyudid.com this website is safe and will not harm your device)
  • Email address

These can be attained with the help of the TestFlight recruitment URL, available when you create a new team on testflight.

Provisioning UDIDs

Before any users can install the app, the UDID numbers of the intended devices must be placed in the apple provisioning profile. Now is also a good time to curate your list of users at testflight for this group of users of this app.

The place to do this is at the apple developer portal. Once completed, the new mobileprovision must be compiled into your build.

Distribution via TestFlight

Now you can upload your build to testflight and have it send a great looking install button to all the users by email.

Maintenence

It is to be expected that new users will join and need to be given a new build. Unfortunately, the tie still remains to the developer for this new user request to be fulfilled.

  • Add the UDID to the provisioning profile
  • Compile with the new provisioning profile
  • Upload new build to testflight and notify the user(s)

Once Installed

Once installed users will need to contact the curator of the ScribbeoServer in order to receive the correct URLs, Ports, and to have a username/password that the curator can manage via the ScribbeoServer admin panel.
