Pull Documents from App installed via Testflight

I have an app that I am trying to pull the sqlite db from the apps documents folder. Normally I would do this by going to xcode -> devices and simulators, selecting my device and downloading the Container of my app from the "Installed Apps" list. However, because my app is installed from Testflight it doesnt show up in this list.

How can I pull the sqlite from an app installed via Testflight?

Right. The goal of TestFlight is for the app to behave exactly like it would if a user had downloaded the final app from the App Store, and that means you don’t get access to the app’s container using Xcode.

The same way you would if your app was downloaded from the App Store. If your app doesn’t have a specific affordance for this — for example, an option to export your database — then there’s no supported way to do it.
