To achieve the highest standard of safety during a beta test, development teams must build their infrastructure around four foundational pillars: Sandboxed Environments beta safety best
Execute beta tests within a fully separated environment. Build target infrastructure using temporary cloud clusters or standalone staging servers to prevent unexpected blast-radius leaks into production. Protect Core Data : Read the app description and privacy policy
