Hi Draftbit team,
I'd like to suggest a valuable improvement to the iOS deployment process: the ability to manually define the build number when submitting to TestFlight.
At the moment, it seems we cannot set the build number, and are instead required to bump the version number each time we push a new build. This goes against Apple's intended model, where multiple builds can share the same version number but have different build numbers — allowing developers to iterate quickly without requiring Apple to re-approve each submission.
Adding this feature would bring several benefits:
  • Faster iteration: Apple does not re-review builds when only the build number changes.
  • More control: We could push multiple builds under the same version, ideal for internal testing or staging workflows.
  • Better alignment with Apple standards: It follows the TestFlight deployment practices recommended by Apple.
Thanks again for the great product and support!
Best,
Paul
