TestFlight Beta Testing with Travis CI

Create some release notes:

RELEASE_DATE=`date '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'`
RELEASE_NOTES="Build: $TRAVIS_BUILD_NUMBER\nUploaded: $RELEASE_DATE"

Create a TestFlight account and set up your app. In order to use the TestFlight API, you need to get the api_token and team_token first. Again, we have to make sure to encrypt them. On the command line execute:

travis encrypt "TESTFLIGHT_API_TOKEN={api_token}" --add
travis encrypt "TESTFLIGHT_TEAM_TOKEN={team_token}" --add

Now we can call the API accordingly. Add this to the sign-and-build.sh:

curl http://testflightapp.com/api/builds.json \
  -F file="@$OUTPUTDIR/$APP_NAME.ipa" \
  -F dsym="@$OUTPUTDIR/$APP_NAME.app.dSYM.zip" \
  -F api_token="$TESTFLIGHT_API_TOKEN" \
  -F team_token="$TESTFLIGHT_TEAM_TOKEN" \
  -F distribution_lists='Internal' \
  -F notes="$RELEASE_NOTES"

Make sure NOT to use the verbose flag (-v), as this would expose your decrypted tokens!
