Support Distribute with TestFlight Internal Only

[effx13]

Hello

In the recently released Xcode 15, there is a new method to upload to TestFlight Internal Only.

This method can internal testing only. It can't be submitted for external testing or the App Store, but it is processed on Apple servers more quickly than common builds, so it make internal testing faster.

Currently, upload_to_testflight doesn't seem to have this option.
Does anybody out there have this working, or have any ideas?

Thanks!

You can already achieve that by setting export_options in gym:
e.g.

gym(
    ...
    export_options: {
        testFlightInternalTestingOnly: true
    }
)

Keep in mind you need Xcode 15 for that.

This setting doesn't work over fastlane.

But for such distribution Internal only, as I understand it, developer profiles must be used.

At least that's how I publish from xcode (developer profiles and cert).

can you share me which package are you using or share me the configuration ?

If you will run xcodebuild --help command you will find

Available keys for -exportOptionsPlist:

        testFlightInternalTestingOnly : Bool

                When enabled, this build cannot be distributed via external TestFlight or the App Store. This is recommended for pull requests, development branches, and other builds that are not suitable for external distribution.

So the thing you have to do is to add
testFlightInternalTestingOnly key/value to your .plist

    <key>testFlightInternalTestingOnly</key>
    <true/>
