iOS
- Ask my beta testers which way they want to receive the build (maybe by email, host the build at someplaces,...)
- Ask my beta testers to provide their UDIDs
- Add them to provision list
- Create install file
- Send install file to my lovely testers
Windows Phone
- Ask my beta testers to provide their Live accounts
- Add them to the tester list
- Public the beta build to Marketplace
- My dear testers will be notified by Marketplace
Android
- Ask my beta testers which way they want to receive the build (maybe by email, host the build at someplaces,...)
- Create the build file
- Send it to my testers
Conclusion
Which way I prefer? Ofcourse, Windows Phone. Because:
- I don't need to care how to send the file to my testers
- With just one Live account, they can install on many devices as they want
- Another beta build? Just publish it!
- It "looks" more professional
Update: One thing we should consider when delivering beta builds to testers: Is it possible to upgrade to final build from beta build? AFAIK, it's possible on Windows Phone. About iOS and Android, I don't know yet. If somebody knew it, please let me know. Thank you.
