Hi everyone, I am currently completely blocked from submitting my new app for TestFlight Beta Review (External Testing). The App Store Connect web interface fails to submit, and when I try to bypass the UI using the App Store Connect REST API to create a betaAppReviewSubmissions request, Apple's servers return the following 422 error: { "errors" : [ { "status" : "422", "code" : "ENTITY_UNPROCESSABLE.BETA_CONTRACT_MISSING", "title" : "Beta contract is missing for the app.", "detail" : "Beta Contract is missing." } ] } Here is what I have already checked and verified on my end: Agreements, Tax, and Banking: My "Paid Apps Agreement", "Free Apps Agreement", "U.S. Tax Forms", and "Bank Accounts" all clearly show as "Active" status. There are absolutely no pending banners or unaccepted agreements on developer.apple.com or appstoreconnect.apple.com. Apple Developer App: I logged into the official iOS Apple Developer app with the Account Holder ID, and there are no hidden agreements to accept there either. App Privacy: All data collection questions are answered, and the App Privacy section is fully Published. Test Information: All required Beta App Review details (Name, Email, Phone) are correctly filled. Export Compliance: My Info.plist includes <key>ITSAppUsesNonExemptEncryption</key><false/>, and the build attributes confirm it. It appears that my TestFlight beta contract has somehow become detached, bugged, or failed to provision on Apple's backend. Has anyone experienced this specific API error recently? Is there a way to force the system to re-provision the contract, or does this strictly require manual intervention from an Apple Engineer? Any guidance would be highly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi there, this is my first app, so please be gentle. I submitted it on 6/16 (3 days ago) and I saw somewhere that it took 24-48 hours to be reviewed, and I believe that's when the people I invited to test it would start getting their email invitations. It's still at "Waiting for Review" on the Test Flight tab. Is this the same as THE "app review"? Or is it some "mini-review" for Test Flight? Either way, when should I start following up?

Hi all, I'm launching my first iOS app (Capacitor/Next.js WebView wrapper) with two auto-renewable subscriptions via RevenueCat, and I'm stuck on a persistent issue across multiple App Store Review rejections. Setup: Bundle ID: no.skaren.app Two auto-renewable subscriptions: no.skaren.app.premium.monthly and no.skaren.app.premium.yearly, both in a single subscription group RevenueCat integrated via @revenuecat/purchases-capacitor App-Specific Shared Secret added to RevenueCat App Store Connect API key (with correct Key ID/Issuer ID) added to RevenueCat Paid Apps Agreement: Active Bundle ID in RevenueCat matches exactly RevenueCat API key in app code matches dashboard exactly The problem: On a physical device (TestFlight build, signed into Sandbox Apple ID), calling Purchases.getOfferings() always returns: {"current":null,"allKeys":[]} No errors are thrown — the offerings object is just empty. This happens consistently across multiple builds, after removing a conflicting limitsNavigationsToAppBoundDomains WebView restriction (which was separately causing a blank-screen bug, now fixed and confirmed working on-device). App Store Connect status: This is our first subscription submission ever. Both subscription products currently show "Developer Action Needed" status in App Store Connect (their localizations were rejected once for vague wording, fixed and resaved, but the products remain in this state). App Review's rejection message explicitly states: "Apple reviews In-App Purchase products in the sandbox and the In-App Purchase products do not need prior approval to function in review." However, our experience suggests otherwise — RevenueCat returns zero offerings, and App Review's own testers also report an "error message displayed on the subscription page" when attempting to test the IAP flow. Question: Is it actually true that subscriptions in "Developer Action Needed" / not-yet-approved status can still be fetched via StoreKit/RevenueCat during sandbox testing? Or does the first-ever subscription submission genuinely need to be approved (i.e., go through the review cycle once) before getOfferings() will return populated data? Has anyone encountered this exact "chicken-and-egg" situation, where the first IAP submission can't be tested until reviewed, but review fails because it can't be tested? Any insight into whether this is expected sandbox behavior for first-time subscription submissions, or whether there's a configuration issue I'm missing, would be hugely appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Have uploaded the build version and status now is approved, but this build is not showing under testflight previous builds, not able to install this version. Also when adding independent tester, error occured showing like bolow, retry not work. Anyone facing this problem ?

A few days ago I uploaded a build to Testflight successfully. Just now I made absolutely no changes whatsoever other than to increment the build number. This latest build doesn't appear in Testflight. Tell me this can't be anything other than a bug with Testflight, if a build from a few days was good enough to appear, then how come with no changes it no longer is.

Hi everyone, App Name: StAIle Build: 6 (Version 1.0.0) I submitted this build for TestFlight external testing on June 12, 2026. It has been stuck in "Waiting for Review" status ever since (6+ days now), well beyond the typical 24-48 hour window. What I've tried so far: Sent an email to App Store Connect support — no response after 2+ days Submitted an expedited review request via the official form — still waiting on that too No message in the Resolution Center, no compliance flag I'm a solo developer trying to run external beta tests before submitting the app for full App Store review, and this delay is blocking that step entirely. Has anyone else experienced something similar recently, or found a way to get this moving? Any advice appreciated. Thanks!

Hello, I am experiencing the exact same ENTITY_UNPROCESSABLE.BETA_CONTRACT_MISSING issue. I cannot submit builds for External TestFlight review. When I click "Submit for Review" in TestFlight, App Store Connect returns: ENTITY_UNPROCESSABLE.BETA_CONTRACT_MISSING "Beta contract is missing for the app." All agreements, banking information, and tax forms are Active. Completed and verified: • Paid Apps Agreement = Active • Free Apps Agreement = Active • Bank Account = Active • W-8BEN Tax Forms = Active • Compliance information completed • Account Holder role assigned correctly I have already: • Added and activated a bank account • Completed all tax forms • Uploaded new builds after activation • Waited several days for synchronization • Opened a case with Apple Developer Support Developer Support has already escalated my case to the senior team, but the issue remains unresolved. The browser console confirms: 422 ENTITY_UNPROCESSABLE.BETA_CONTRACT_MISSING This issue is currently blocking External TestFlight testing. Has anyone experienced this recently? Could someone from Apple verify whether the TestFlight Beta Contract associated with the account needs to be reset, recreated, or manually refreshed? Thank you.

Hi, Recently our App is facing a generic error with no error details. This error is happening once Build has been successfully uploaded to AppStore Connect through Xcode Organiser. Steps followed while uploading the build: Archive the Build through Xcode Once Archive is successful, Distributing the App through Xcode Organiser using AppStore Connect distribution method. Build Uploaded successfully to AppStore Connect After 5 min we are receiving a email with below message Hello, We noticed one or more issues with a recent delivery for the following app: AppName App Apple ID 2121111 Version 3.6.9 Build 75 Please correct the following issues and upload a new binary to App Store Connect.

Hello, I am unable to install my app from TestFlight even though the build appears valid and is in internal beta testing. The build was uploaded successfully to App Store Connect and shows as Testing / Internal Testing. The build metadata looks valid: processingState: VALID internalBuildState: IN_BETA_TESTING qcState: BETA_INTERNAL_TESTING usesNonExemptEncryption: false minOsVersion: 15.0 deviceFamilies: IPHONE supportedArchitectures: arm64 However, TestFlight installation fails, and the App Store Connect API returns: ENTITY_UNPROCESSABLE.BETA_CONTRACT_MISSING Beta contract is missing for the app. My App Store Connect agreements are all active. I checked Business > Agreements and both Paid Apps Agreement and Free Apps Agreement are Active. Bank accounts, tax forms, and compliance also appear Active. This also happens with a newly created app and a fresh build, so it looks like the TestFlight beta contract may be missing or detached on Apple’s backend. Has anyone seen this before, or is there a way to force App Store Connect to refresh the TestFlight beta contract state?

If method names in your source code match the private Apple APIs listed above, altering your method names will help prevent this app from being flagged in future submissions. In addition, note that one or more of the above APIs may be located in a static library that was included with your app. If so, they must be removed. I installed the Didit SDK in the project and now the build doesn't go to TestFlight, as it did above. What could be the problem?

Hi everyone, My TestFlight build has been stuck in 'Waiting for Review' for over 32 hours and I'm hoping someone can help or share their experience. The situation: I have an External Testing group with a Public Link set up. The build was submitted for Beta App Review on March 19th but it's been over 32 hours with no update. I have 25+ testers waiting to install the app. What I've tried: Waited patiently Checked App Store Connect multiple times No rejection emails received No issues flagged by Apple Questions: Is anyone else experiencing unusually long review times for TestFlight external builds right now? Is there anything I can do to speed up the process or check if something is wrong? Has anyone successfully resolved this by contacting Apple Developer Support directly? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Apple Support Case ID: 102846633409

Hello, I noticed the webhook event BUILD_BETA_DETAIL_EXTERNAL_BUILD_STATE_UPDATED does not fire when a build is submitted for external beta review. It is only fired when the review completes. It would be great if we can get notified when an external beta review has started, similar to how we do get notified when a review gets started for the App Store build. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Hello Support Team, We are encountering a blocking issue while trying to submit/manage our app, Hairmakeapp. The system returns a 422 Unprocessable Entity error code preventing us from proceeding. Error Details: App Name: Hairmakeapp Error Code: ENTITY_UNPROCESSABLE.BETA_CONTRACT_MISSING Status: 422 Message: "Beta contract is missing for the app. Beta Contract is missing." Full JSON Payload: JSON { "errors" : [ { "id" : "***", "status" : "422", "code" : "ENTITY_UNPROCESSABLE.BETA_CONTRACT_MISSING", "title" : "Beta contract is missing for the app.", "detail" : "Beta Contract is missing." } ] } Steps Taken: Checked the "Agreements, Tax, and Banking" section in our Account, and all master agreements appear to be accepted and active. Verified that the Account Holder has signed the latest terms. Could you please verify if there is a pending or stuck Beta Agreement/Contract on your end for Hairmakeapp that needs to be triggered or refreshed? Thank you for your prompt assistance, as this is currently blocking our testing/release schedule. Best regards,

Are there issues with Testflight Beta Review process? My app (minor version update) has been sitting in waiting for review for a over 24 hours where previously it would take a few hours.

The status of my Mac application from TestFlight is "Complete" and "Ready to Submit". I truely don't know what is the next step to submit application to App Store Connect... Do I need invite external testers ? Is this invitation mandatory to App Store Connect or can I skip this step ? Any suggestion will be greatly appreciate.

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. From 8th of June, 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”) 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. I’ve already reached out to Apple Developer Support multiple times, but unfortunately haven’t received any response so far, which makes it unclear how to proceed. Has anyone experienced this issue or found a resolution? Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I have a app that has both mobile and watch versions. Recently some testers report that the watch app could not be launched if the put the app in the background and then resume. And if they kill the app and try to launch again, there is no any response when tapping the app icon. I managed to export some system logs, and this info in the screenshot looks suspicious. Does anyone have the same issue? Recently the app has been transferred to another developer account, not sure if it is related, this TestFlight version was rebuilt with the new team

Hi, I really need help to resolve the issue with submitting build made with 26.2 for review to release TestFlight build to external testers. I'm always getting "This build is using a beta version of Xcode and can’t be submitted". I tried everything from cleaning DerivedData to fully reinstalling Xcode and tools to 26.2. Even tried earlier Xcode release versions and after pressing Submit for review I always face the same issue. Nothing helps and I can't share my first app with volunteers to test. By Jan 6 2026, my Xcode 26.2 is up to date with App Store and in Xcode Organizer I choose App Store Connect and press Distribute.

Can anyone help me with this error message? Beta contract is missing for the app. Error IDs: 3976de05-9ac1-41e1-9294-a8827535015e 96bfccea-8fe8-450a-8cff-fbc55b696b29 I have tried looking at agreements, there is nothing to sign or that I have not accepted. I cannot find any agreement related to this. I have tried sending my app for TestFlight review from web browser or TestFlight app in my iPhone but no help at all I get the same error message. I have tried sending request to Apple support to call me but that also ends up with error. Is there anything wrong going with Apple. How can we contact Apple? They are not replying to my emails either.

Hi, I am unable to receive any tesflight invite email in order to test on my end, can anyone assist with this issue.
