I really need to install TestFlight on my device which is an iPhone 6, but the app requires iOS 13 or later!
Is there any possible way to get ride of this problem? I mean any possibility other than buying a new iPhone🤪

How can I do testing on older devices that a lot of my customers use? Feeling like the rug was pulled out from under me.

From the TestFlight docs: https://testflight.apple.com/

iOS apps: iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch running iOS 8 or later. App Clips require iOS 14 or later. iMessage apps and sticker packs require iOS 10 or later.

It lists the app as still compatible with iOS 8+, so hopefully this is an unintentional change?

It looks like version 2.7.0 (Aug 17, 2020) was the last version that still had the proper compatibility list.

The latest version 3.0.0 (Nov 11, 2020) is the version that has iOS 13.0 as the minimum iOS version in the compatibility list on https://apps.apple.com/us/app/testflight/id899247664

I'm running into the same issue - I have users with an older iPad Air which can't update to iOS 13 meaning they can't beta test our app, but our live production version only requires iOS 11. Is this change really done on purpose? There's got to be some workaround for our users with older devices.
