After delivery, the Apple team sent a screenshot of the email below:

Maybe it is because your provisioning profile is missing or unavailable to run/use. To fix this problem, I think you should add/fix the provisioning profile. （I am not from Apple）

In general, a Mac app only needs a provisioning profile if the app claims entitlements that must be authorised by the profile. See What exactly is a provisioning profile? for more about that.

I’m not sure how this relates to TestFlight. It’s possible that your app is claiming entitlements that must be authorised by a profile, but it’s also possible that TestFlight always requires a profile.

Either way, the answer is the same: Create a profile and embed it in your app. For advice on how to do that when you’re not using Xcode, see:

Specifically, the first post has an Embed Distribution Provisioning Profiles that’s relevant here.
