Hey bud, was wondering if you could start mirroring the RC of a release to TestFlight. I’ve noticed during the last few releases (three at least) that after a TestFlight pass an RC is pushed to the Production channel but not mirrored to TF. That means that the TF testers are back and forth between TF+AppStore, and that TF testers can’t use the feedback function or send logs if we encounter issues in the RCs.

The last couple release should have been pretty much identical, except for a few config things which were different in the production version. Managing two of them can be a bit of a hassle (especially since testflight involves a review process as well) but I'll keep this in mind going forward!

I think that, in general, it’s less likely these days to see a compile or showstopper issue in an RC, but they can happen, you push your feature code out to TF users but we don’t actually test the final release ever, which as users and feature set grow could be of benefit to you.

I was an iOS dev for over a decade in various guises, so it’s hard to separate out “how I’d do it” from other approaches, so it’s really just my 2 cents.
