@fuer4869 I met an issue with you,how to do next?

i dont think the test flight upload works due to the apple deal, can anyone confirm this?

Is Travis CI capable of building and shipping my Ionic 2 app to Testflight / Hockey or direct install on the iPhones of my organisation? Thank you

Hey @joshk! Any updates on https://gist.github.com/johanneswuerbach/5559514#gistcomment-858581 ?
Thanks!

AWESOME!!

Hey,
I am working with this and not able to get how to create a TESTFLIGHT_API_TOKEN. Can someone please explain how we can generate that directly from developer.Testflight "https://developer.apple.com/testflight/" site. Thanks!!

Are you based in Berlin by chance?
