Your TestFlight link is live. Nobody's using it.

TestFlight is how you get a beta build onto iPhones: a public link, up to 10,000 external testers, builds that expire after 90 days. What it doesn't do is find those testers. Post your link on the wall and makers with iPhones install it, use it and send you a report.

What TestFlight gives you, and what it doesn't

Distribution, crash reports and screenshot feedback from testers who bother to shake their phone. Your first external build goes through Beta App Review, then anyone with the public link can join.

It doesn't give you an audience. A public link posted once on social media brings a handful of installs and silence. That's not a TestFlight problem, it's a who-is-going-to-test problem.

Using the wall with TestFlight

  1. 1Create a public link for your external testing group in App Store Connect.
  2. 2Post your app on the wall with the link in the private brief (or ask for testers' Apple ID emails instead).
  3. 3Makers with an iPhone or iPad claim it, install through TestFlight and test what your brief asks for.
  4. 4Each sends a written report. TestFlight's own crash logs fill in the rest.

Questions

Is Makers Wall a replacement for TestFlight?
No. You still distribute the build with TestFlight. Makers Wall brings the testers and the written reports.
Should I use a public link or email invites?
A public link is simpler: testers join by themselves. Email invites give you more control; testers then add their Apple ID email to their profile and you invite them after they claim.
Do testers need an iPhone?
Yes, or an iPad if your app supports it. Devices are on each tester's profile, so only makers who can run your app can claim it.
Is Makers Wall really free?
Yes. There is nothing to pay and no card to add. You pay in tests instead: each report you write for another maker earns 20 credits, and 20 credits unlock a full report on your project.
Who tests my project?
Other makers with projects on the wall. They are good at spotting broken flows, confusing copy and bugs. They are probably not your target customers, so treat their reports as a sharp first pass before launch, not as market research.
What if a report is lazy?
You see an excerpt before you unlock it. Once it's unlocked you can accept and rate it, or request changes once with a message. Ratings follow testers around: a report that says "nice app!" earns a low one.
