ENTITY_UNPROCESSABLE.BETA_CONTRACT_MISSING – External TestFlight unavailable, internal builds not downloadable

Hi,

I’m running into a persistent issue in App Store Connect related to TestFlight and app reviews, and I’m hoping someone has seen this before.

Around two weeks ago, I started getting the following error when trying to create external TestFlight builds:

ENTITY_UNPROCESSABLE.BETA_CONTRACT_MISSING

Since then:

I cannot create any external TestFlight tests
Internal TestFlight builds appear, but cannot be downloaded (“The requested app is not available or doesn’t exist”)
My apps do not progress properly through review
One app got stuck in “In Review” for ~10 days; I eventually withdrew it and resubmitted it
At this point, I cannot update two existing apps, and I can’t start testing a new app at all

Important details:

This is an individual developer account
I am the Account Holder
All contracts appear active and valid
The issue affects multiple apps, not just one

Nothing changed on my side (no contract updates, no account changes) before this started happening.

I’ve already reached out to Apple Developer Support multiple times, but unfortunately haven’t received any response so far, which makes it unclear how to proceed.

Has anyone experienced this issue or found a resolution? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Currently experiencing the exact same issue (ENTITY_UNPROCESSABLE.BETA_CONTRACT_MISSING), with no response from Apple Developer Support. All agreements are signed, no account changes, etc. Currently unable to test any apps and have been for the last few weeks.

Title: TestFlight blocked for entire account — ENTITY_UNPROCESSABLE.BETA_CONTRACT_MISSING after membership renewal

Hi,

I am completely blocked from using TestFlight. Submitting a build for External Beta Review fails in App Store Connect with a generic "There was an error processing your request" message. The network response is a 422:

{ "errors" : [ { "id" : "062beb3e-73f1-49ba-86e6-28966b18b8d3", "status" : "422", "code" : "ENTITY_UNPROCESSABLE.BETA_CONTRACT_MISSING", "title" : "Beta contract is missing for the app.", "detail" : "Beta Contract is missing." } ] }

App: KTFAgro (Apple ID 6753082661) Build: 1.0.0 (16), uploaded successfully and in "Ready to Submit" state

What I have already verified:

Individual account, I am the Account Holder
Account is almost one year old and was renewed on September 8, 2026 (it was due September 26)
Apple Developer Program License Agreement: issued August 18, 2026, accepted September 8, 2026 — no pending review banner in developer.apple.com/account
Apple Developer Agreement: accepted March 11, 2025
Free Apps Agreement: Active, effective 08/09/2026 – 25/09/2027, all countries
Paid Apps Agreement: Active, effective 18/05/2026 – 25/09/2027, all countries
Bank account: Active (BRL)
Tax forms: Brazil tax form, U.S. Certificate of Foreign Status and W-8BEN, all Active
Signed out and back in, retried over several hours, no change

Everything shows as Active on my side, so this looks like the Beta Contract entity was not re-provisioned when the agreements were regenerated at renewal. Other threads describe the same pattern and were resolved by an Apple engineer re-provisioning it manually (for example threads 814565, 815885 and 821498).

This is affecting my clients, who currently have no access to the app. Could an Apple engineer please check the account and re-provision the Beta Contract?
