How do I connect my device to my testflight account?

When you first create an account with TestFlight you will need to connect a device to it allowing developers to grant you access to install their application on your device. You will have to access TestFlight with Mobile Safari in order to connect your device to your account and access TestFlight on your device. Other browsers on your iDevice will not work.

If you open the welcome email on your device you will be able to login and then connect the device to your account.

NOTE: you can also connect your device by going to www.testflightapp.com/m/login in Mobile Safari



Tapping the Login button will take you to the login page.  



Tap 'Login' and you will be taken to the following page to connect your device.  



Tap 'Connect Device' which will prompt you to install a configuration profile on your device.  



Tap 'Install' and a configuration profile will be installed on your device and then will be sent back to the main TestFlight mobile page. This process sends your device's UDID to TestFlight and installs a bookmark (web clip) to your home screen for quick access to TestFlight.

NOTE: Sometimes you will be prompted to enter in your passcode before installing the profile. This occurs when you have setup your own passcode in Settings > General > Passcode Lock. Enter the passcode you've setup to continue.




This is the main page, where apps made available for this device to download will appear.  

A webclip for this page will be added on your device's home screen which will allow quick access to the TestFlight mobile website.
