+
+meta:
+  id: ios-production-04
+  feature: ios-production
+  priority: P1
+  depends_on: []
+  tags: [app-store, testing, production]
+
+objective:
+- Set up TestFlight beta testing with internal and external testers to validate app before public release
+
+deliverables:
+- Internal testing group configured
+- External testing group with 20+ testers
+- Beta testing feedback process
+- Crash reporting for beta builds
+
+steps:
+1. Configure internal testing:
+   - Add all team members to App Store Connect
+   - Create internal testing group
+   - Upload first beta build
+   - Verify team members can install via TestFlight app
+2. Recruit external testers:
+   - Create external testing group "Kordant Beta"
+   - Invite 20-100 external testers via email or public link
+   - Target: mix of technical and non-technical users
+   - Include iPhone and iPad users
+   - Include different iOS versions (16, 17, 18)
+3. Prepare beta testing materials:
+   - Beta app description and what to test
+   - Feedback email or link (TestFlight feedback)
+   - Known issues list
+   - Testing checklist for testers
+4. Set up crash reporting:
+   - Enable TestFlight crash reporting in Xcode
+   - Integrate Firebase Crashlytics for detailed crashes
+   - Configure alerts for crash spikes
+5. Distribute beta builds:
+   - Upload new build → auto-distribute to internal testers
+   - Submit for external testing review (first build only)
+   - Distribute to external testers after approval
+6. Collect and triage feedback:
+   - Review TestFlight feedback daily
+   - Create issues from feedback in task tracker
+   - Respond to critical feedback within 24 hours
+   - Track bug reports and feature requests
+7. Iterate based on feedback:
+   - Fix critical bugs within 1 week
+   - Address UI/UX issues before public release
+   - Update beta build every 1-2 weeks
+
+tests:
+- Distribution: Verify testers receive build notifications
+- Feedback: Test feedback submission process
+- Crash: Verify crash reports appear in Firebase
+
+acceptance_criteria:
+- Internal testing group with all team members
+- External testing group with 20+ active testers
+- First beta build distributed and installed successfully
+- TestFlight feedback channel active
+- Crash reporting receiving reports
+- Beta testing checklist provided to testers
+- Known issues documented and shared
+- Iteration cycle: new build every 1-2 weeks
+- Zero critical crashes in last 2 beta builds
+
+validation:
+- TestFlight app → build available for install
+- External tester installs app → no issues
+- Submit feedback → appears in App Store Connect
+- Simulate crash → report appears in Firebase
+
+notes:
+- External testing requires App Review approval for first build
+- Public link allows anyone to join without invitation
+- Beta testing typically takes 2-4 weeks before release
+- Use TestFlight groups to test different features
