Apple increases TestFlight limits, makes improvements to iTunes Connect and more for developers

It was a busy week for developers, as Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference showed off plenty of new tools and features for its desktop, mobile, and wearable platforms.

But there is still plenty of details lingering, as noted by 9to5Mac, including changes for developers and the tools they use to develop, release and test their apps. The first of which is some changes to iTunes Connect, its TestFlight program, and more.

TestFlight is getting some changes to the numbers directly tied to builds, testers, and apps. Specifically, Apple is increasing the number of internal and external testers (24 internal per account; 2,000 external) that can try out a pre-release application. The increase also gets tuned towards more builds a developer can release per day (external builds up to 6 per day), as well as the number of apps a developer can have per account (up to 100). Build expiration has also been increased from 30 days to 60 days.

One final change is the ability to add several different accounts under a single username within iTunes Connect, making it possible to have several different roles with varying levels of options for each. The developer can add several different apps within iTunes Connect, the developer can then add user roles for them, including manager, developer, or marketer. The manager, for instance, can assign user roles, add other users, and even submit applications for review.

The changes are available now, so developers should already be seeing them.

If you’re a developer, what do you think of the alterations?
