[![TestFlight reaches Android in beta, gives app developers a safety net](http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/02/testflight-android-signup.jpg) ](http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/21/testflight-reaches-android-in-beta/)
You may not know about TestFlight if you're used to running apps rather than building them, but odds are that you know its effects when over 300,000 iOS apps have reached testers that hopefully caught bugs in advance. That makes the launch of a private Android beta something of an event, as it gives developers the same simple feedback and provisioning for pre-release apps. Coders who split their time between both Android and iOS also get a truly cross-platform management console as part of the expansion. There's no set date for when the beta expires, but TestFlight eventually plans to offer its utility directly through the Google Play Store -- and might just keep the [Android app train](http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/30/google-play-store-racks-up-700k-apps-says-bloomberg/) rolling smoothly.
