Hello,

I am new to App Clip development. I have uploaded a build with app clip to App Store Connect and the build is visible on the TestFlight. I am able to open the App Clip via TestFlight and I do see everything working, but the app clip is not getting added in Recent Apps folder and is no where found on the device. If I want to launch the app clip again, I have to scan the QR code again.

When I use other app clips, like Panera Bread, the app clip stays in my Recent App/Recently Added folder.

My app clip size is close to 75MB. Is the app clip not in Recently Added folder because the app clip is installed from TestFlight or is it happening because of the app clip size?

Thanks!

That is the correct workflow as stated in Create App Clip experiences for testers in TestFlight.

It is because the app is installed in TestFlight. Be sure to read Keep your App Clip small in size.

Thanks for the reply!

I was able to find the our app clip (which was installed from TestFlight) in Apps Library so for now, I can tap on it and relaunch it.

Yeah I did read about App Clip sizes and I wish to have a smaller sized app clip, but unfortunately we have a dependency on which the entire app is based off of and the dependency itself is taking 72 MB of the app clip size. The actual app clip is very small. Working with the dependency team to provide smaller packages.
