Apple announced today that it’s rolling out a new feature for its TestFlight beta distribution service called TestFlight Groups to improve the experience of managing builds with multiple testers.
Apple noted the Groups feature will allow developers to “organize your testers into groups to quickly send specific builds”, provide separate instructions on where to focus, and apply an action to several testers at once in TestFlight.”
The new feature is available to those using Apple’s in beta TestFlight service through iTunes Connect.
Apple acquired the TestFlight beta app testing platform through its purchase of Burstly in February of last year and repositioned the service as a feature of its iTunes Connect developer portal.

Good news for developers.
I heard from our developer that we need to wait for the betas to go through a review. is that correct?
That is correct – it seems to take 1-2 days at the moment.
You can’t be serious! That’s horrible. I’m still using the old test flight until they shut me down in a few weeks. I can’t deal with a 1-2 day wait period.
As soon as our builds are done at the end of the day, they are submitted for testing immediately. This seriously going to fuck us up.
