Test, Submit, & Launch
1. Use MAZ Mirror to preview dynamic changes to your app.
Dynamic changes include content and design updates such as layouts, colors, and featured images.
The MAZ Mirror App will display "Active" content. Use a Release Date set for the future to preview content before your end-users see it in the live app. Adjust the Release Date to push content to the live app.
2. Use TestFlight build to perform final testing on an actual build.
Once the preliminary preview is completed using MAZ Mirror, you can use a TestFlight build to view your most current version.
Changes to the following elements require an app update:
- App icon
