How can I provide ChallengePost with access to test my application?
You must provide a way for us to test your application at no cost. Please allow us to test using one of the following methods.
Android Applications: Upload an .apk file in the submission form or provide a link for us to download your app in the “Testing Instructions” field on the submission form.
iOS Applications: If your app is available on the app store please provide a link in the “Website URL” field on the submission form. If you charge for your app, please also provide a promo code.
If your app is not yet publicly available, send a test build using one of the following methods:
Send us a beta test via Crashalytics. Use our testing email (testing@challengepost.com) and UDID’s to provision a build and send us a link via the “Share Links” button. Make sure to also add the testing link to your submission form under “iOS Build Link”. Beta by Crashalytics is free! Here’s a quick how-to for their Beta Distribution tool.
Pro tip: Make sure you add the UDIDs to your build to speed up the process there’s no review, but all builds still need to be received in full before the submission deadline.
Our UDIDs are:
- iPad (iOS 6.0.1) 6a2cb1d4ba2d242db1db48c59c91744cebfc68a9
- iPod Touch 4th Gen (iOS 5.0.1)13d9c9e50d705446c07fc5d2c3c3144c69ffc576
- iPhone 5 (iOS 7.0.3) 4c4270daadcf6f2dcd38ef407c38c01c3fa849b8
- iPhone 5 (iOS 8.1) c94acc0069278cee4b38e4d27ae3f838bf50aa79
Enter our email address to share a build with us for testing. Our TestFlight account email is: testing@challengepost.com. Please note that if you add us as an “External Tester” your app will need to go through Beta App Review before you can send the build. Builds must be received by the submission deadline to be eligible - so plan for extra time. Not sure how to use TestFlight via iTunes Connect? Check out the iTunes Connect Developer Guide and the TestFlight Video Tutorial.
Send a testing link to: testing@challengepost.com, and add the testing link to your submission form under “iOS Build Link”. Please note that HockeyApp allows you to send test builds quickly, but there is a fee to use this service.
Windows Phone applications: Upload an .xap file in the submission form or provide a link for us to download your app in the “Testing Instructions” field on the submission form.
Windows PC: Upload the appropriate installation files (.exe) in the submission form or provide a link for us to download your .exe file in the “Testing Instructions” field on the submission form.
