When trying to add a tester to app.connect for use as a tester for TestFlight I get error "A user with this email address already exists on this team." I have tried various suggestions in the forum with no success. The user email has previously been used and had been assigned as tester to app and was able to connect and install app on testflight. Previously they were running TestFlight on iPad and we were looking to add TestFlight to iPhone as well but I was unable to resend invite so I followed suggestions and removed the user. First I removed tester from just the app and this didn't work, then I removed them as a tester under Users and Access. Now when trying to re-add the user using their Apple ID associated email I get the error that email exists. I have checked under User and Access as well as under each app that they are no longer listed. Their email doesn't show under User and Access nor does it show in any expired app but shows as deleted under All Testers under TestFlight tab. When trying to add user I also tried using different role and user name.

I have uploaded my app to App Store Connect TestFlight. Then I have downloaded it in TestFlight on my iPad. But the app always crashes a few seconds after opening. It seems to be always the same issue. I have a few crash reports in App Store Connect--&gt;App name--&gt;TestFlight--&gt;Feedback--&gt;Crashs. I have opened a crash report in Xcode but I don´t find the error that causes the crash. How can I find the error in Xcode? Is it possible to find the class and line in the class where the crash happened? In addition, how can I export a crash report from Xcode? The crash doesn´t happen in debug mode on my iPad, it only happens when I install and open my app after downloading it from TestFlight on my iPad.

not able to redeem the invite in TestFlight receiving below error The apple account you are currently signed with does not matching the one which is associated to this invitation you can sign in to testflight with the original apple account or request new invitation from developer

I have a problem regarding the application that I built using flutter, I use the camera library, when I test in xcode with the debug / release schema the camera can open, but when I try to send it to the testflight testers I can't open the camera, for the permissions I have added and the testers have received the required permissions.

I recently submitted my app, Ai voice changer - Video effects (Build version 1.0.0 (2)), for beta testing and received feedback indicating that my app was rejected due to a violation of Guideline 4.3(a) - Design - Spam. The rejection email states that my app shares a similar binary, metadata, and/or concept to apps already submitted to the App Store, with only minor differences, leading to the classification of my app as spam. I would like to respectfully request clarification regarding the specific aspects of my app that led to this rejection. I have ensured that the app I submitted offers unique functionalities and has been carefully designed to stand out from other apps in the same category. The features of my app, including apply voice changer effects on videos, were developed with originality and are intended to offer a new experience to users. To provide additional context, my app was created using a unique approach and has distinct features compared to other voice changers available on the App Store. However, I am open to any suggestions on how I can improve the app’s submission to meet your guidelines fully. My goal is to provide a valuable and unique tool for users, and I would appreciate further guidance on how to address the perceived overlap with other apps. Could you please provide specific examples or areas where my app may appear too similar to others, and what steps I can take to resolve this issue? I would be grateful for any assistance or suggestions on how I can resubmit my app with full compliance to the App Store guidelines. Thank you for your time and support. I look forward to your response and the opportunity to resolve this matter. Best regards, Jay limbani Ai voice changer - video effects

Hi, I'm new to software development and facing a problem that don't know how to solve. I have a piece of code using .backgroundPreferenceValue and .anchorPreference modifiers to monitor a button's position while dragging. It works perfectly on preview, simulator, and my own device if I download it through a cable connected to my computer. However, today I distributed it to TestFlight and found out it broke. I repeated the process serval times but the result is still the same. Has anybody run into the same type of problem before? Desperately need help. Many many thanks!

I'm not sure how we reached the point where we accepted the current situation of subscription testing in Testflight as the normal. It has been drama for years now. It's also super confusing and many people don't understand why/what is happening. Let me write down first what is happening, after that all the issues and potential solution will be clear. Production app Uses live appstore backend + your apple id that is signed in on the device Testflight app Uses sandbox appstore backend + your apple id that is signed in on the device Local / Xcode Uses sandbox appstore backend + your sandbox apple id if correctly set on your device (settings / appstore / sandbox account). The problem is you can only manage the following subscriptions Live appstore backend + live apple id Sandbox appstore backend + sandbox apple id We are missing the option to manage Sandbox appstore backend + live apple id -> the situation we deal with in testflight. So there is no way to manage your testflight subscriptions. Few potential solutions that apple should implement: We need an option within the Testflight app to Manage subscriptions, that should than open the live apple id on the sandbox backend. Or give developers the option to use the sandbox account for testflight as well, not only for developing locally. To test in testflight you basically have to wait for the subscription to expire, but they also recently changed the renewal rates. It used to be 5 minutes for a month, now its 1 day for a month, so you have to wait 12 days before your monthly sub on testflight is gone. So we cant manage testflight obtained subscriptions, we cant use API's to manage them, we cant change settings like renewal rates, they are totally useless. This is really not usable at all. The situation has been like this for years, and all of us seem to accept this as normal. But this is a horrible developer experience, and we have to launch apps in production that we can't even test properly, only locally (so we can't let our testers test). How is this acceptable @Apple?

I am developing an app with support for In-App Purchases (IAP) for consumable products using StoreKit. I have defined the products in ProductList.plist and Product.storekit, but I am unable to connect them correctly to App Store Connect. Here are the details: Products defined in ProductList.plist: Bolet Evento Vip: com.cover.boleto.vip Boleto Evento Básico: com.cover.boleto.basico Configuration in Product.storekit: The products have prices and basic configurations, but they do not seem to link properly in App Store Connect. Steps I have taken: Configured IAP simulation in Xcode. Attempted to register the products in App Store Connect. Issues I am facing: The products are not appearing in App Store Connect after configuration. My app cannot seem to fetch consumable products from App Store Connect. Question: What steps should I follow to correctly register consumable products in App Store Connect and connect the app with StoreKit for production? Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Was working ok, then after my latest attempt at submitting a .PKG it crashes right after displaying the list of previous submitted things. This make it impossible to make progress with my project, unless there's another way of getting it to TestFlight (not using Xcode). Transporter 1.3.2 on Intel Mac Sequoia 15.0

Hi, Apple changed the renewal rate for auto renewable subscriptions in testflight to 24hrs and after 6 renewals it is supposed to expire. My subscription is now active for more than 13 days, it didnt expire as its supposed to. I heard that there is no chance to cancel it manually. Is there anyone else who had this problem and found a solution? I use RevenueCat to manage subscriptions. Maybe its because they have not adapted to apples update yet. Are there any other RevenueCat users that can confirm this experience? Or non RC users who don't have the issue I'm facing? Any responds are welcome.

I have a workout app which I am testing on device currently via TestFlight. The generated workout (tennis and indoor) shows in the fitness app with correct HR and duration. However, when I go to my Strava app, it does not show in the list of workouts for importing. (note, activities tracked using the regular tennis mode on the Apple Watch show fine) I have also concurrently reached out to Strava support to see if there's anything they can offer support for. However, does anybody here have any knowledge/experience of the requirement? Or whether this is a limitation of an application deployed via TestFlight? I have a terrible feeling I am chasing ghosts, and it may be a TestFlight limitation for exporting workouts? Thanks

Hi. I'm currently working on Xcode CI build uploading ipa to TestFlight. Building archive is successful but exportArchive is failed with error "exportArchive Failed to Use Accounts". How can I fix this error?

I'd like to create a "product/archive" in xcode, to use in "Testflight" I get these errors: Communication with Apple failed Your team has no devices from which to generate a provisioning profile. Connect a device to use or manually add device IDs in Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles. https://developer.apple.com/account/ I do not have a physical iOs device. Can i assign a provisioning profile to a simulated device? Or do i need to have a physical iOS device, to connect my app to Apple, and be able to let poeple test it with "Testflight"? Thanks for your answers.

The following error occurred when I uploaded the application for distribution in the test flight. After rebuilding, the problem resolved. What was the cause? I recently upgraded the Xcode version from 15.2 to 16.0, and this was my first build, so is it an environmental factor? ITMS-90433: Invalid Swift Support - The file libswifCore.dylib doesn’t have the correct code signature. Make sure you’re using the correct signature, rebuild your app using the current public (GM) version of Xcode, and resubmit it. Don’t just modify the code signature of libswiftCore.dylib.

I've been working on implementing alternate app icons for my iOS app, and everything works perfectly in debug builds on both the simulator and a physical device. However, when testing on TestFlight, I encounter the following error: The requested operation couldn’t be completed because the feature is not supported. Has anyone faced this issue before? Is there a specific TestFlight configuration or setup I might be missing to enable alternate app icon functionality?

Can I change the bundle identifier for an app that I have pushed to TestFlight beta testing but have not released a single build to the App Store yet? I hover over the bundle identifier in the App Information section of the App Store Connect Apps page, but I do not currently see an option to edit it.

I'm using Transaction.environment to determine server behavior. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/storekit/apptransaction/environment https://developer.apple.com/documentation/storekit/appstore/environment I gather this information on the app using StoreKit and then send it to the server: originalTransactionId = transaction.originalID originalTransactionEnvironment = transaction.environment When testing within Xcode, on a simulator, the value sent to the server for originalTransactionEnvironment is Xcode - as expected. When testing on a device using a TestFlight build, the value sent to the server for originalTransactionEnvironment is undefined/nil. I expected it to be Sandbox - and later in production it should be Production. Most importantly, the value sent to the server for originalTransactionId in the TestFlight version is not undefined/nil - it is the value I expected it would be. The transaction was originally for a subscription purchase, if that makes a difference. So the transaction is available, and information like originalID is also available. Why is transaction.environment not available? What is the behavior in production?

I added auto renewable subscriptions to my app. First submission of IAPs require a new build along with it. I tested everything locally through the .storekit file. Everything worked perfectly so I submitted it for review. The moment I did so, StoreKit.Product.products(for:) stops returning the products. If I click on the "Sync" button on .storekit now the pre-existing subscriptions disappear. Apple reviews the build and states that there are no subscription options visible. Also in "Prepare for submission" phase, IAP & Subscriptions section disappears so one can no longer add them to the next builds. I have tried to explain this 7 times (with new version submissions) through App Review Comments. It looks like nobody reads the responses. I tried adding the issue as a note, screenshot, video in different parts of the submission. They are entirely ignored. I sent 3 support request none of which have resulted in a response. I tried setting up a 1 on 1 call with Apple and it got rejected. This issue has been reported by other people in this forum and others with no solutions provided. I am completely out of options at this point. If I and others are indeed right to think that there is a bug in App Store Connect on the specific scenario with first time IAP review submissions where the first build is rejected by developer's fault, it bugs out with subscriptions. My app's success entirely depends on this as I can't monetise it and I am in Apple Developer Program which means I am subscribing to this service. Can someone from Apple Team, please respond to this specific issue on whichever medium chosen. I am completely blocked and in dire need of help. Thanks for your understanding.

When I upload the app to testflight, I get the following error: "Provisioning profile failed qualification. Profile doesn't include the selected signing certificate.". I have regenerated the profile. I have cleared cache, deleted profile and certificate and imported it back to xcode. Any ideas?
