Adam Kos At the beginning of the year, Apple announced that the platform for testing TestFlight applications will also come to macOS. After releasing a beta version for developers in August, Apple has now made TestFlight available to the general public as part of the Mac App Store. More available testing will thus ensure more stable applications and games.
Using the platform, users can opt-in to download and install beta versions of apps for iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS, iMessage, and now macOS. Developers of individual applications and games can invite up to 10 thousand beta testers, groups can even be created here to test different builds of the title at the same time. IN Mac App Store so version 3.2.1 is now available, which is of course free. Users are invited to the platform by developers using their email address or by sharing a public link.

TestFlight is an App Store of unreleased applications and games where developers can test up to a hundred of their titles. Individual builds will remain here for 90 days, which is the time during which invited testers can also test it and look for possible bugs in it. After all, this is the purpose of the platform - to invite a wider audience who will find bugs and report them to the developers, who will then remove them. In addition, invited users will replace their capacities, which they may not have at their disposal. He can then also ensure that when he releases the title, it will be with a minimum of errors, across various devices that he does not have to physically own.

The developer can also inform his testers about what they are supposed to test and provide them with other important information related to testing. With the TestFlight app for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS, testers can send feedback to developers directly from the app by simply taking a screenshot. They can also provide additional context about an application failure immediately after it occurs. This feedback can then appear on that app's TestFlight page in App Store Connect.
Disadvantages
Of course, this is a relatively marginal matter. When testing apps and games, you have to expect that everything won't go as smoothly as you might expect, and it can be a little frustrating. On the other hand, you will help not only the developer, but also future users. Getting access to tests is worse. You have to either contact the developer himself, who won't come to you otherwise, or search the forums. Such is the case, for example, on Reddit, and is constantly updated with new requests. For your help, the developers may then give you free codes to access the app when it is officially released.
