OTA testing cannot be performed on the test DCL network.

With the same firmware, OTA testing on the DCL test network was successful in September 2025, and the Home app was able to deliver software update notifications. Since the beginning of 2026, however, the Home app no longer delivers software update notifications. This is bug number: FB21922369

Are you sure about exactly when this started failing?

It looks like the TestNet DCL mobile config file (see section "3.2.3. Profile enablement" of Apple Matter OTA - User Guide r4) expired on February 7th, at which point this would have stopped working. .

I'm working on getting an updated profile released, however, the existing profile should have worked until then unless something else was going wrong.

The updated profile is now live and can be downloaded from this link (found inside the Apple Matter OTA - User Guide).
