Publishing to Testflight

To publish the application, you can choose one of the publishing options, individually or from Sizze's account.

The application publishing process consists of three steps, registering to the Apple Developer program, connecting the Apple Developer account to Sizze's account, and the final step is publishing itself.

Let’s get started!

You can create an Apple Developer Account on the Apple Developer Page which costs $99.

Connecting the Apple Developer account to Sizze

1. In the Publish settings, click on the file to download an individual CRS certificate. A CER format file will be downloaded to your device.  

2. Login to your personal account and create an iOS distribution certificate. When creating, upload the certificate from step 1.

Then download the certificate. The certificate can be downloaded ONLY ONCE.

At the end of creating the key, you must download the P8 file. It can only be downloaded ONCE. 

4. Sign in to your Apple ID, go to application passwords, create a new password, for this you give a name to the password, after which a 16-digit application password will be generated.

You must save this password, it can only be copied ONCE.
