Developers of mobile applications for iOS using this service received this week a statement through their email that communicates about the closing of services of TestFlightApp.com next February 26th.

The company provides all application developers for iPhone and iPad with projects in the process tool TestFlight indicating all the steps to make the change. Although is not an automated process, every developer will need to do it by himself.
Do not forget that the closure of this service will also affect the native mobile app development for iOS devices that is available on iTunes Store operating system, but that will also stop working from February 26. The new service of TestFlight in iTunes Connect includes a panel for developers and its own native app development for testing.
