Testing beta on iPad with a different Apple ID
I would like to try the beta on my iPad but it has a different Apple ID than my iPhone. If I open TestFlight on the iPad with my email link it doesn’t show anything available to test. Is there a way to add another Apple ID to my profile so I can test?

Re: Testing beta on iPad with a different Apple ID
I don't think it's possible. Once the TestFlight invitation is accepted, it becomes associated with the Apple ID that accepted the invitation. That association allows the app to be installed on any other devices using the same Apple ID, without needing to accept an invitation for each device. I wouldn't be surprised if the limitation is by design, to prevent people added to a private beta (not specific to Gospel Library, but any beta) from being able to forward the beta to large mailing lists.

The App Store and TestFlight are connected. It looks like it might be possible to temporarily sign out of the App Store, and sign in with a different Apple ID, which would switch TestFlight over to the different Apple ID as well. I haven't tested this, but it might be worth trying.
