Apple Purchases Burstly and its TestFlight App Beta Testing Platform

Multiple sources are confirming that Apple has purchased Burstly, which services include the SkyRocket in-app ad management platform and the TestFlight platform used to distribute beta and internal apps over-the-air.

Rumors are rampant as to why Apple has purchased the company. It seems there is a consensus that TestFlight is the part of the company that Apple really was interested in and it could make sense based on the limited options for beta testing iOS apps.
