Has anyone used TestFlight?
My client wants me to use this to keep track of the builds as we go through beta and end client approval.
TestFlight looks good BUT mentions Xcode for building etc. as I went straight to Corona bypassing ObjectC and Xcode I don’t want to start learning / using that now.
Has anyone looked at TestFlight? can it be used with Corona

Yes, I use it all the time 
No Xcode required. All you need to do is create an ad hoc build through Corona. Take the app file Corona creates and place it in a folder called “Payload.” Zip up the folder and change the extension to .ipa. And that’s it [import]uid: 82003 topic_id: 27796 reply_id: 112590[/import]
There are two parts to testflight, one is using their website to beta test and the other is implementing their API system to test. I’ve not tried the latter and that might have issues with Corona, but the first part, using their website works really well.
You have to be able to create a .ipa file, but it’s super easy to do and they have the instructions on their website for doing it. You basically compress up your app build and rename it with a .ipa instead of .zip and then you can upload and distribute to your testers. You still have to collect UDID’s from your testers, add those devices through the provisioning portal and you have to of course add those profiles to whatever provisioning profile you are using.

+1 on testflight ! the service is great and makes app distribution, UUID collection, etc painlessly easy. i cringe to think about what life was like pre-testflight. no xcode required. [import]uid: 74908 topic_id: 27796 reply_id: 112597[/import]
