How to Join the Beta with TestFlight (macOS)
-
Check Your Email

IF YOU HAVE AN INVITE CODE:
Sometimes, instead of (or in addition to) the email invitation, you might receive an invite code (a series of letters and numbers).
- Open the TestFlight app on your Mac.
- Click Redeem (at the top left or in the menu).
- Enter your invite code exactly as it appears.
- TestFlight will show you the Arvee beta app.

Important: Choose the Correct macOS Build
On Macs with Apple Silicon (M1, M2, or newer), TestFlight sometimes shows both iOS and macOS builds of apps.
You need to make sure you install the macOS version for the best experience.- In TestFlight, find Arvee in your apps list.
- Click on Arvee and look for a version selection dropdown or tab in the upper-left corner.
- Choose the version labeled “macOS”.
- Do not choose the version labeled “iOS” (for iPhone/iPad).
- Once you have selected the macOS build, click Install.
If you install the iOS version on your Mac, the application still should work but it will not be the native macOS version. If you would like to test the iOS version as well, please see this section and sign up for the iOS beta testing program.
