Hundreds of top mobile developers have already distributed their apps to thousands of testers, and we still have people excited to experience what all the hype is about. In response to this demand, we’re excited to announce the official launch of Beta by Crashlytics. This means it’s now fully supported by our engineers, designers, user experience folks and amazing support team, among many others. This also includes a rapid release cycle, so you can expect continuous updates for features and bug fixes automatically and on a regular basis.

The Most Streamlined Beta Distribution Experience.

We’ve heard your frustrations about the state of beta distribution today. Poor UI, confusing registration systems, frequent downtime, and only single-OS support. It’s time to build something usable with both developers and testers in mind.

We applied our Crashlytics power and polish to this problem. The result: a streamlined experience for distributing apps that gives you a single, cross-platform toolset for iOS and Android. Beta distribution should be an intuitive process for you and your testers so you can focus on what matters — building your app, not stressing about getting testers up and running.

With Beta by Crashlytics, you can easily invite new testers through a seamless sign-up workflow, manage testers on the web or right within your IDE, and analyze key metrics to determine when your app is ready for prime time. Combined with our crash reporting solution, there is now a one-stop-shop for debugging and distributing apps. Oh, and it’s free.

Your App, Front and Center.

With the R&D efforts inside Labs, we’ve applied many of our major breakthroughs to Beta by Crashlytics. With only one chance at a first impression, it’s crucial to deliver a high-quality, fluid tester experience. Beta by Crashlytics helps you invite or onboard testers and send builds with just a few clicks. We authenticate the device without requiring user registration. This results in a dramatically noticeable reduction in the time it takes to get your testers up and running.

Your app and brand should be front and center, not buried behind unnecessary UI chrome or colors. Beta by Crashlytics intelligently analyzes your app’s icon and automatically tailors the tester experience to match your apps’ color scheme. The experience for your testers will be seamless and consistent with your brand.

Your Workflow, Uninterrupted.

Beta by Crashlytics is deeply integrated with our existing IDE plugins for Xcode, Android Studio, Eclipse and IntelliJ. You can now invite testers, distribute new builds and enter release notes all via our Mac app or Android IDE plugins. Using a build server? We’ve got you covered. Just upload your build, add testers and you’ll be up and running with just a few tweaks to your build script.
