Hi Apple Devs,

I recently finished a game for iOS, and I'm using TestFlight to have gamers test it before I release it to the public. I have a sign up sheet and I'm keeping records of testers' emails. When I'm ready to add testers in App Store Connect, I want to import a CSV to add them all instantly, as opposed to adding them one at a time.

I can't find the formatting for CSV anywhere, not even in Apple's documentation. I know that they'll tell me what format it should be in when I have a build uploaded, but I don't want to have the wrong format and have to go back into my spreadsheet and modify all the cells. Does anyone know what the CSV formatting for importing testers should be? Something like email, first name, last name?

Thanks

Jake

This would be much more useful than adding them manually on the site with an imported csv It looks like there is an api to create a beta tester: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstoreconnectapi/create_a_beta_tester/ and then inviting a beta tester to an app: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstoreconnectapi/send_an_invitation_to_a_beta_tester Sadly not a lot of documentation or examples but it might help. A simpler alternative is to enable a public link, however this solution allows beta testers to stay anonymous. Many companies would like at least a first last for addressing the user in emails.
