Archiving and uploading a build to TestFlight
WHAT IT TESTS: the release-build distribution flow. OUTLINE: select a real-device or Any iOS destination, Product Archive, then in the Organizer distribute to App Store Connect, where the build appears for internal TestFlight testers after processing.
WHAT IT TESTS: familiarity with the archive-to-TestFlight pipeline. ANSWER OUTLINE: choose a generic Any iOS Device or a real device as the run destination so a device build is produced, bump the build number, run Product then Archive to create a Release-configuration archive, open the Organizer, choose Distribute App and the App Store Connect option, then upload; after Apple finishes processing, the build appears in App Store Connect where internal testers in your team can install it via TestFlight, no external review needed.
