Posting as another data point for the "TestFlight Beta Contract missing" backend issue (see thread 814565), on a brand-new app.
App: com.bw2rtpwl4h.vocablock — Apple ID 6787957255 — Team BW2RTPWL4H. App record created 2026-07-06. Built and submitted via Expo EAS (App Store Connect API / Transporter).
Symptom: all internal TestFlight builds (6–10, v1.0.0) fail to install for every internal tester, including the Account Holder. User-facing error: "The requested app is not available or doesn't exist."
Device unified log on the iPhone: POST https://testflight.apple.com/v2/accounts/<acct>/apps/6787957255/builds/221045761/install -> HTTP 404 TestFlight failureReason: "Error Downloading Install Data", terminalReason 1 installd never runs — refused at the delivery layer before download.
App Store Connect state (verified via the App Store Connect API):
- build processingState: VALID
- buildBetaDetail.internalBuildState: IN_BETA_TESTING
- in an internal testing group; account holder is a tester
- export compliance answered, age rating set, Free Apps Agreement Active, pricing set, all territories
- .ipa correctly App Store distribution-signed; deployment target 18.0 consistent across the app + 3 app extensions
Confirming error — a beta review submission of the build via the API returns: HTTP 422 — ENTITY_UNPROCESSABLE.BETA_CONTRACT_MISSING — "Beta Contract is missing." (error id 9e3db6b2-ebaa-4843-9ce1-4e7220cca5e8)
So every developer-side layer seems to be correct, but the backend Beta Contract record is missing/detached.
Already filed:
- Developer Support case ID: 102936497722
Request: please reset/re-create the Beta Contract for this app so internal builds can be delivered. Has anyone had theirs reset, and how long did it take?
