Helm + GitHub
Turn TestFlight feedback into GitHub issues the moment you triage it. Keep beta bugs next to the code that will fix them.
Why connect GitHub to TestFlight feedback
TestFlight feedback arrives with context that often gets lost when you copy it by hand: build number, device, OS, screenshots, and the tester's words. Opening a GitHub issue from Helm keeps that context attached so your team can reproduce and prioritize faster.
If you already live in pull requests and project boards, this integration closes the gap between TestFlight and your repo without bouncing through App Store Connect in a browser.
What you can do
From a feedback item in Helm, create a GitHub issue with a clear title and body drawn from the report. Attach the details that matter for engineering, then mark the feedback done when the issue exists.
- Create issues from crashes and tester comments
- Carry over useful metadata from the TestFlight report
- Keep triage in Helm while work lands in GitHub
- Use the same flow on Mac and iPhone when you are reviewing feedback on the go
How to set it up
Connect GitHub in Helm Settings under Integrations. Sign in with AuthenticationServices, pick the repositories you care about, and you are ready to file issues from feedback.
Free Helm includes a limited number of integration actions. Helm Pro unlocks more so busy betas do not hit a ceiling mid-cycle.
A practical triage loop
1. Open TestFlight feedback for the build you just shipped to beta.
2. Skim for duplicates and mark noise done.
3. For real bugs, create a GitHub issue from the report.
4. Assign it in GitHub like any other ticket, with the Helm-sourced details already in the body.

FAQ
Do I need a GitHub App or personal access token?
Helm uses Sign in with GitHub through AuthenticationServices. Connect once in Settings, then create issues from feedback without pasting tokens into the terminal.
Can I choose which repository receives the issue?
Yes. After you connect GitHub, pick the repo that matches the app or component you are shipping when you create the issue.
Is creating issues available on free Helm?
You can create issues on free Helm within usage limits. Pro raises those limits for teams that triage a lot of beta feedback.
