I read in this Stackoverflow question that to simulate an app upgrade on an iPhone, you should install a new Ad Hoc IPA of the file via iTunes.

You can therefore check if the users data is still intact after an update.

I use TestFlight and quite often install new development versions of the app from there. Does this also simulate an app update?

You can test this by saving some data from the app, and doing the TestFlight upgrade. If the data are still there, then I think that shows that it does behave like an app upgrade.

When I did these sorts of updates, I think the data stayed, but I recommend testing to be sure.
