Reasons why Apple should add "Gift This App" to iTunes

Good idea.

As non-US based developers we can't even give coupon codes to our beta-testers. Those codes only work in the US.

And in Canada you can't even use iTunes gift cards for buying apps so the only way we can reimburse beta-testers is by sending them money by paypal.

All they need is a to enter a US postal address to create a US iTunes account. Not that hard.

If they are beta testers, why do they need a code?

I'm not sure but I would assume if once the app is released, they can't even reward the beta-testers by giving them the app they helped build.

Just let them install the last beta, the RC which was submitted to the App Store. They only difference is if they never bought (or didn't use a code), they can't rate it on the App store.
