Just wondering how to run a closed-beta for an ios app. 1. How many users? 2. What kind of tools? (TestFlight? - recommend me!) 3. Other things to keep in mind
Keep in mind that regardless of the tool you choose you will need to setup each device and register it on iTunes Connect. Note also that there are limits:
* 100 users/devices per Developer Apple ID (Apple seems to me migrating to a 200 devices limit)
* Devices can be removed/replaced just once each membership year
* A time limit of 90 days
There are some alternatives:
* Ad-hoc installation (needs physical access to the device)
* Testflight (https://testflightapp.com/) the one I use and recommend +++
* Pieceable (https://www.pieceable.com/) lets you test over the web browser
* AppHance (http://www.utest.com/apphance) is a TestFlight like service
* HockeyKit (https://github.com/TheRealKerni/HockeyKit) is an opensource stack to host beta apps on the web (still needs the device registration on iTunes Connect)
* HockeyApp (http://hockeyapp.net/features/) an TestFlight like service
