Distributing an iOS App for Testing

[Ray Horsley]

Jackie,

Do you have a trial version of AirLaunch?  I've tried wrestling with MergExt which works in conjunction with TestFlight (which is the troublesome part) and I'm having no luck.  I'd like to try AirLaunch and it sounds like the right tool since it doesn't depend on TestFlight.

Thanks,

Ray
