I have created a simple music player app that I would like to share with friends and family and not necessarily on the public app store. What would be the cheapest way to do that? From what I understand, I need to pay for a developer membership in order to use TestFlight, but I worry that if I do that, it still might be refused during app review.

Does anyone have any pointers on not getting refused during app review in order to get it on TestFlight? Or is there another way of doing this? The app is super simple, no login, no ads, no transactions involved. It does involve downloading songs from youtube using an api I did not create (freemium based) and using the phones local storage for the song files. Any advice appreciated.

Thanks

You will need at least Apple Developer account and have to pay for that. Once you have the account, you can get the UDID from your friends device and share with them by by distribute ios app using adhocs provision.

There is no other way to share except the TestFlight. You may have other options by sharing UDID, but this is too many hassles.
