Native Binary : TestFlight or manual install process

Difficult to estimate since we haven't tackled this before.

Some options from Mikey...

We could use this: https://testflightapp.com/

Allows up to 100 testers on iOS, and I think unlimited for Android.

Ack, no, scratch that, they were purchased by Apple and are discontinuing Android support tomorrow. Still a good solution for iOS.

Could be a medium, could be large.

2 Parts to this Ticket, HockeyApp and Facebook Approval.

WORKFLOW for ADDING FB TESTERS

1) Go to FB Dev page for BarChat https://developers.facebook.com/apps/637656759644763/roles/

2) Add User as a Tester. You will either need to be friends with the user in your account or have their FB ID to enter into the box

3) From the user's phone, click this link: https://developers.facebook.com/apps

4) You will need to click the green button to "Register"

5) Provide the user's phone number, and ask for text message confirmation. Once that is sent, enter the confirmation # into the FB dialog on the web page.

6) Finally, "Add" the BarChat app from the user's phone using this link again: https://developers.facebook.com/apps

That should be it! An easier workflow for end users will be to get our app approved, looking into that option now.
