I don’t think you understand? TestFlight is a program from Apple that allows distributors to send apps to people without it being in the store. TestFlight is actually very cool for developers who want feedback, crash reports, in a very polished environment. It’s Genius.
The TestFlight app just gives you access to the apps you have available to you. Like a Store. Genius.
Wat? On android, you just send a file, they open it and it’s installed. TestFlight just forces itself into a transaction where it’s completely unnecessary.
Nothing could go wrong sending a random binary to people. 🤷♂️
Look I get it, there is some annoyance when it comes to distributing potentially malicious binaries on iOS. And I do wish there was some kind of method for removing that restriction buried deep in some menu where your grandma can’t find it. But the methods for sending apps outside of the store are there and are very easy.
It’s obvious to me that you’ve never done this, because you’ve not mentioned the biggest hurdle in this process. No I won’t tell you.
Passable and stupid, just to work around their over-engineered walled garden full of overlapping security certificate messes. All controlled by Apple infrastructure.

Very far from genius.
I’ve never had a problem with certificates. But then again, I’m an actual developer.
