Create an App
Create App from the HockeyApp Dashboard
Drag & Drop
Drag your build from a Finder or Explorer window and drop it onto the dashboard. The upload will start immediately and the progress is shown with a progress bar. When the upload is finished, the status will change to "Processing" and afterwards you are redirected to the version page (or to a dropdown to select your account if you are a member of an organization).
Please note that HockeyApp always creates an app with the type "beta" if you create an app through drag & drop.
