App build statuses
The build status tells you immediately whether your build needs attention. The status applies to the build only, not the entire app.
-
A red status indicator (
) means that you need to perform some action. -
A yellow status indicator (
) means that some process is ongoing, controlled either by you or by Apple. -
A green status indicator (
) means the build is being tested in TestFlight, or can be submitted for review..
You can view the builds you upload and their file sizes in the Activity area of your app. You can also view beta build status and metrics in the TestFlight area of your app.
