TestFlight is an app from Apple that developers use to push beta versions of an app to testers, media, and other such parties. The TestFlight app was last updated on 11th December 2019 to version 2.6.0. This version had brought with it stability improvements and bug fixes. Today, Apple has updated the TestFlight app to version 2.7.0.
Just like the last update, the 2.7.0 version of the TestFlight app brings stability improvements and bug fixes with it. At least that’s what the official changelog says. According to reports from developers, the updated TestFlight app also comes with support for App Clips, which is a feature where you can open an app quickly, when you need it, without having to download the full version of the app.
Another aspect of the update that the changelog of the TestFlight app 2.7.0 doesn’t mention is that this new version of the app comes with an all-new icon. Have a look at the feature image of this article for a comparison between the old and new icons (To the left is the old icon and to the right is the new icon).
The last major update that the TestFlight app had received was on 23rd September 2019, with version 2.5.0. This update had brought the Dark Mode with it, which is a boon in low-light environments, as it doesn’t stress your eyes as much. For those who don’t know, the TestFlight app is available for iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV.
Our Take
Usually, tech companies don’t pay much attention to apps like TestFlight, which are used by developers, mainly because these types of apps don’t impact the end-users. However, Apple is a brand that not only focuses on the experience of end-users but also on the experience of developers, offers timely updates to apps used by developers as well. That should be an inspiration for other brands.
