Hi, I’m running into a persistent issue in App Store Connect related to TestFlight and app reviews, and I’m hoping someone has seen this before. Around two weeks ago, I started getting the following error when trying to create external TestFlight builds: ENTITY_UNPROCESSABLE.BETA_CONTRACT_MISSING Since then: I cannot create any external TestFlight tests Internal TestFlight builds appear, but cannot be downloaded (“The requested app is not available or doesn’t exist”) My apps do not progress properly through review One app got stuck in “In Review” for ~10 days; I eventually withdrew it and resubmitted it At this point, I cannot update two existing apps, and I can’t start testing a new app at all Important details: This is an individual developer account I am the Account Holder All contracts appear active and valid The issue affects multiple apps, not just one Nothing changed on my side (no contract updates, no account changes) before this started happening. Has anyone experienced this issue or found a resolution? Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

One of our apps (built with Xcode 26.1.1 and distributed via TestFlight) crashes upon launch on iOS 17 with Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGKILL) and Termination Reason: CODESIGNING 2 Invalid Page. I have never seen this before. Any pointers? On iOS 18 & 26 this does not happen btw.

I have a tester who switched phones a few months back. Crucially he no longer has access to the old phone. On his new phone when I send him a test flight invite to his apple account, 123@example, he receives it but it fails to work when he clicks the link. He is getting the following message. The Apple account (123@example) you're currently signed in with does not match the one (456@example) associated with this invitation. He has no idea what email 456 is. Since his old phone was a hand me down, I'm assuming it's someone else's email entirely. I'm trying to figure out how we clear this association out. I tried deleting his app store connect for my app and reinviting him all the way from the beginning. This did not work. As a stopgap I'm giving him a public link under an external testing group but I'd really like to not have to do that. Anyone have any ideas how we can fix this so I can shift him back to the Internal testing group?

Hello, I am unable to use TestFlight for any app (existing or new), while production uploads work normally. All TestFlight actions fail with: ENTITY_UNPROCESSABLE.BETA_CONTRACT_MISSING There are no pending agreements in App Store Connect. This is an older account that previously used TestFlight successfully. This appears to be a missing or detached TestFlight Beta contract on Apple’s backend. Could this be manually reattached or re-provisioned? This is time-sensitive, as I need a TestFlight external testers link to submit an app for an upcoming hackathon. Apple Support case ID (for reference): 102817552619 Thank you.

In Xcode, under Signing & Capabilities (Release) for our bundle ID the selected provisioning profile does include the entitlement: com.apple.developer.payment-pass-provisioning However, when we upload a new build to TestFlight, the Build Metadata → Entitlements section for the same bundle ID does not include com.apple.developer.payment-pass-provisioning. Because of this, PKAddPaymentPassViewController does not open in TestFlight builds. This suggests that while the entitlement is enabled for the App ID and visible in Xcode, it may not yet be propagated to App Store Connect’s signing service for TestFlight/App Store builds. Please Note: The Wallet Entitlements team had confirmed that they had granted entitlements for our team and the apple IDs Xcode : 26.0.1 Profile being used: Distribution Profile

I uploaded a build to testflight and released it to Internal testers, however when the testers tried downloading the app a alert dialog shows the following: Could not install [App] The requested app is not available or doesn't exist. Also tried to submit it via external testers but getting another error.

We submitted a build to testflight and received a confirmation email it was successfully uploaded. When we open testflight on our iPhone's (X, 6s) we get a message of "Could not install appname" "The requested app is not available or does not exist" Where appname is the name of the app. Its very confusing because I can see the build listed in testflight on my mobile device and can view it in iTunes connect. I also can't install prior builds that had worked successfully when I try.

My iOS App testflight builds are stuck in Processing for hours. Usually takes 5 mins. Anyone else having this issue? Submitted a Feedback Assistant report.

Hello everyone, I’m reaching out from the music publishing side and would appreciate guidance from developers or anyone familiar with TestFlight governance. We’ve identified an app that has been distributed via TestFlight for an extended period (regular renewals, updates, and new TestFlight builds). The app’s core functionality involves publishing copyrighted musical works (sheet music), without authorization from the authors or rightsholders. We have attempted to contact the developer using the contact details available through the TestFlight listing and associated project information. To date, we have received no response, and the TestFlight distribution continues. From our perspective, the developer appears to rely on TestFlight to keep the app off the App Store, where standard copyright enforcement mechanisms would normally apply. My questions are: Does Apple consider long-term, continuously renewed TestFlight distribution to be a form of public distribution? Is there a mechanism within the Apple ecosystem to address repeated copyright infringement occurring specifically via TestFlight? From a developer-policy perspective, how does Apple Inc. typically handle cases where TestFlight is used to bypass compliance obligations rather than for genuine beta testing? I’m not looking for legal advice here — just insight into how Apple and the developer community view and handle this type of situation. Thanks in advance for any guidance or experience you can share.

i need a testflight invitation code, is it possible? i dont really know about the developer e-mail. could you send me a testflight code? here is my email: ******** [Personal Information Edited by Moderator]

Ever since I have upgraded to iOS 26 (at least, I THINK this was when it started) I have been seeing an email account on Testflight purchase flows that is NOT mine. I have never seen this email in my life, and have not used it during the 10+ years I have been a developer. I do not know how to make this use my Apple ID I am signed into on my device. However, locally signed builds from Xcode still work ok. But I need Testflight builds to work as well. How do I force this account to change?

Environment OS: iOS 26.2 (Beta/Release) Framework: StoreKit 1 (or StoreKit 2) Environment: TestFlight / Sandbox Device: [Insert your device model, e.g., iPhone 15 Pro] Description I am encountering a persistent issue where SKPaymentQueue.default().finishTransaction(transaction) does not successfully remove the transaction from the queue. Every time a new purchase is initiated, the observer triggers an immediate update with the previous transaction's ID (Transaction ID). The system then displays a system alert stating: "You've already purchased this In-App Purchase. It will be restored for free." Even after explicitly calling finishTransaction, the same transaction reappears in the updatedTransactions array upon the next app launch or purchase attempt. Steps to Reproduce Add a transaction observer in didFinishLaunchingWithOptions. Initiate an In-App Purchase in TestFlight. Upon success (.purchased), call SKPaymentQueue.default().finishTransaction(transaction). Attempt to buy the same non-consumable item (or any item) again. Result: The previous transaction is pushed again, and the queue never clears. What I’ve Tried Ensured finishTransaction is called on the main thread. Verified that the observer is added at app launch. Manually iterating through SKPaymentQueue.default().transactions and finishing all entries. Signed out of the Sandbox account and used a completely new test account. Deleted and reinstalled the App via TestFlight.

When adding new TestFlight users, they are not receiving the email invite. I have had them check junk mail and/or other filtering software. Is anyone experiencing the same thing?

I have an app clip installed via TestFlight. My AASA file is configured correctly (per 'Domain Status' in TestFlight). I want to be able to run the app clip flow (app clip card showing and app clip card launched) by invoking UIApplication.shared.open(url) from a different app, or by pressing the URL from notes app. This doesn't seem to work. The only thing I am able to do is run the flow when scanning a proper QR code after configuring Local Experience with the matching parameters. But as stated above, the flow will not work when invoking the URL from a different app. Is the proper way to fix this is to define an HTML page for that URL path that contain the element with app-clip-bundle-id attribute that will match the Local Experience configuration? Is there another way to make this flow work with TestFlight releases? what are my options?

Hello, I'm sure I've probably missed a checkbox somewhere.. I have a mulitiplatform app, when building from Xcode, and not using the testing config, both iOS and macOS show the correct App Store currency.. When I distribute a build through TestFlight, my Mac version shows a different country/currency price (the US one). I can't find anywhere to change this. My Mac is signed into the same sandbox account as my iOS device. Can anyone help?

My app has in app purchase for subscriptions, available in many countries. When using Sandbox App Store accounts on TestFlight with a locale different from my own in the iOS 26 RC, I'm getting incorrect currency coming back from Product.products(for: identifiers), and so my app displays the wrong price for the locale. However, the actual Apple Pay buy sheet shows the proper currency symbol and currency amount. This did not happen on prior versions of iOS. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Hello, I’d like to share an issue we recently experienced with TestFlight and ask whether this behavior is expected. Environment App version string: 1.0.0 Multiple builds uploaded via CI/CD Both external TestFlight testing and internal CI builds exist Testers had automatic updates enabled in TestFlight What happened We uploaded build 1.0.0 (2601161653) and assigned it to an external TestFlight group. Testers installed this build and were testing normally. Later, we uploaded a newer build 1.0.0 (5) and reassigned the same external testers to this build. Testers successfully updated to 1.0.0 (5) and continued testing. After some time (without any manual action from testers), testers received a system notification saying that: “The App has been updated. Version 1.0.0 (2601161653) was automatically downloaded and installed.” When opening TestFlight, the app showed 1.0.0 (5) again as available for update, meaning the device had already been rolled back to 1.0.0 (2601161653). Additional context There are many archived builds in App Store Connect due to CI/CD testing. Some CI builds share the same version string but differ only in build number. External test groups were only explicitly assigned to build 1.0.0 (5) at the time of the rollback. Build 2601161653 did not have any external test group assigned at that moment. No App Store release or metadata changes occurred during this time. Questions If a tester’s currently installed build becomes temporarily unavailable (e.g. due to eligibility, internal status changes, or TestFlight processing), does TestFlight automatically fall back to a previously approved build? Is this automatic rollback behavior an intended part of TestFlight’s build availability logic, especially when multiple builds with the same version string exist? Can frequent CI/CD uploads (without consistent external group assignment) influence which build TestFlight considers “eligible” or “latest” for testers? Summary From our observation, it appears that when the currently tested build temporarily lost eligibility, TestFlight automatically installed a previous build that was still considered available, even though a newer build existed. We’d appreciate any clarification on whether this behavior is expected or if there are best practices to avoid this situation when using CI/CD with TestFlight. Thank you.

Hi, I’m experiencing a TestFlight issue affecting multiple apps in my account. Issue summary: • Several TestFlight builds across all of my apps expired at the same time. • After uploading new replacement builds, neither I nor my testers are able to install them. • Installation fails with the message: “Could not install {App Name}. The requested app is not available or doesn’t exist.” • The build shows as processed and available in App Store Connect. • Testers are already invited and active. • No redeem code is required. I am seeing the same issue on my own device as well. What I’ve tried: • Uploading new builds (incremented version + build number). • Confirmed builds are visible and available in App Store Connect. • Removing and re-adding testers. • Logging out of the app. • Deleting the app from the device. • Restarting the device. • Reinstalling directly from TestFlight. • Restarting TestFlight. Despite this, installation consistently fails with the “requested app is not available or doesn’t exist” error. Expected behavior: • New TestFlight builds should be installable once processed and available. • Testers (and the developer) should be able to install directly from TestFlight. • Expired builds should not block installation of newly uploaded builds. Additional context: • This started immediately after multiple TestFlight builds expired across my apps. • All affected apps were previously installing and testing without issue. • Apple Developer Support has been contacted, but I wanted to check whether others are seeing the same behavior or if there is a known workaround. Has anyone else encountered TestFlight builds becoming unavailable across multiple apps at once, or an install failure after replacing expired builds

Hi there, When I build my app in Xcode using a synched AppstoreConnect Storekit file, when using subscriptions, I am sent to the correct (for me) UK store to purchase a subscription. However when using the same build as a TestFlight App I am presented with the US store.. If I try to purchase a $ subscription I get the error: Account not in this store Your account is not valid for use in the U.S. store. You must switch to the U.K. store before purchasing If I try to use the presented Change App Store button - I get Unable to Complete request Error My AppStore on my Mac is set to the UK store.. How can I get the TestFlight version to present the correct store locale? Many thanks!

SKStorefront.countryCode always returns "US" in TestFlight and sandbox, even when sandbox Apple ID is set to a different country. Is this expected behavior? Is SKStorefront guaranteed to return the correct storefront only for production App Store builds?
