Now, my question is, after making some change to the app and changing the version in General settings of project , I need to create a new archive and new ipa file? 现在，我的问题是，在对应用程序进行了一些更改并在project General设置中更改了版本之后，我需要创建一个新的存档和新的ipa文件吗？

Do I need to send the new ipa to testers over email again? 我是否需要通过电子邮件再次将新的ipa发送给测试人员？ Do they need to connect their devices to iTunes in order to update to the newer version? 他们是否需要将其设备连接到iTunes才能更新到较新的版本？

I know of some tools like TestFlight , I just want to make sure if I need them or if I can manage to do this without these third party tools. 我知道一些工具，例如TestFlight ，我只是想确定是否需要它们，或者如果没有这些第三方工具，我是否可以做到这一点。 I would like to know if it is possible for testers to update to newer versions without needing to connect device to computer. 我想知道测试人员是否有可能无需将设备连接到计算机就可以更新到较新的版本。

You'll need to resend them the app and they'll need to install it using iTunes or iPhone configuration utility. 您需要重新发送给他们该应用程序，并且他们需要使用iTunes或iPhone配置实用程序进行安装。 Unless you turn it into an Enterprise app (temporarily) in which case it can be downloaded from a web server etc. 除非您暂时将其变成企业应用程序，否则可以从Web服务器等下载。

TestFlight is pretty good and you could consider it as its quick and easy to start using, however they got acquired by Apple last week and its not currently possible to download their SDK. TestFlight相当不错，您可以认为它是一种快速且易于使用的工具，但是上周他们被Apple收购，目前无法下载SDK。

As far as I know you can't notify your beta testers about update without 3rd party tools. 据我所知，如果没有第三方工具，您将无法通知Beta测试人员有关更新的信息。 You have to build/archive new version each time and broadcast it (via email) to your testers. 您每次必须构建/存档新版本，并将其（通过电子邮件）广播给测试人员。 Testers can update your application by connecting their device to computer (iTunes) and transferring new version of application to iTunes (they can just Ctrl+Drag .ipa file to iTunes). 测试人员可以通过将设备连接到计算机（iTunes）并将新版本的应用程序传输到iTunes（只需将Ctrl + Drag .ipa文件传输到iTunes）来更新您的应用程序。 After this step, the application can be found in iTunes library. 完成此步骤后，可以在iTunes资料库中找到该应用程序。 Testers should drag new version of your app in "iDevice library" so that it will appear in the list of (new) applications to install or applications to update. 测试人员应将您的应用程序的新版本拖到“ iDevice库”中，以使其出现在要安装的（新）应用程序或要更新的应用程序的列表中。 After that there will be an Update button to update your application to new version directly from iTunes. 之后，将有一个“ 更新”按钮，可直接从iTunes将您的应用程序更新为新版本。
