Beta testing tool TestFlight is already used by over 70,000 iOS app developers, and now people can deploy the same code used for testing to gather data on their apps. A new service — called TestFlight Live — provides detailed analytics for mobile apps, including crash reports, in-app purchase rates, and how long visitors stay in an app. Both TestFlight and Live use the same SDK, and the same code that’s used for TestFlight will enable Live.
