Is there a way to have a workflow step deploy my IOS IPA to a TestFlight/Itunes Connect Group?

We already have it deploying to Itunes Connect/TestFlight, but we have created groups like Alpha/Beta and need builds to be deployed to those groups.

Hi @zacheryt757,

Thanks for asking this here! 🙂

It’s not supported by the related step (I guess you use the **Deploy to iTunes Connect / TestFlight (with Deliver)** step).

I’d suggest you to create a #feature-request, to bump the priority and to have a central place for tracking the progress / notifying when it’s ready.

FWIW, Fastlane offers this with their `pilot` action and it’d be easy to integrate whether or not you use Faslane for the rest of your build process. You can specify it using the `groups` parameter or the `PILOT_GROUPS` ENV variable. Something like:

```auto
    pilot(
      ipa: path_to_ipa,
      groups: ["Alpha", "Beta"]
    )

```

Sure, it’s definitely possible - if you have the time feel free to send a PR for the step, or create a #feature-request (for tracking and prioritizing).
