TestFlight Review Delay – Seeking Guidance on Review Timeline
Hello everyone, We submitted a major update for our social networking app, Yuppi, on October 23, 2026. Both our TestFlight and App Store submissions are still in "Waiting for Review" status. Following a previous consultation with Apple's App Review team, we carefully addressed their feedback, completely redesigned our app, and introduced several new features. We fully understand and respect Apple's review procedures and standard timelines. However, our main priority at this stage is TestFlight. We would love to give our existing users the opportunity to experience and test our new design and features before the official App Store release. We completely understand that the App Store review may take additional time, and we have no concerns about following the standard process. We would sincerely appreciate any guidance from the Apple App Review team regarding whether our TestFlight submission could be reviewed first. We would also love to hear from other developers who have experienced similar TestFlight review delays. How long did your review take, and was there anything that helped move the process forward? Thank you all for your time and support.

Individual to Organization Conversion Stalled - Faster to Create a New Organization Account?
Hi everyone, I'm stuck in Apple's account migration process and could use some advice from those who've been through this. My situation: Submitted individual → organization migration request Got initial response from Apple on June 15 (case #102620626191) Confirmed to proceed immediately Radio silence for 4+ days since then Key details: No existing apps or certificates to preserve Have a finished app ready to publish under business name ASAP Already have D-U-N-S number and LLC setup My question: Should I start a fresh organization account application in parallel, or will that cause conflicts since it's the same LLC/D-U-N-S number? Has anyone been in a similar situation? Did creating a new org account end up being faster than waiting for the migration to complete? Any insights on typical timelines for both processes would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

TestFlight builds expired across multiple apps; new builds cannot be installed (“Requested app is not available or doesn’t exist”)
Hi, I’m experiencing a TestFlight issue affecting multiple apps in my account. Issue summary: • Several TestFlight builds across all of my apps expired at the same time. • After uploading new replacement builds, neither I nor my testers are able to install them. • Installation fails with the message: “Could not install {App Name}. The requested app is not available or doesn’t exist.” • The build shows as processed and available in App Store Connect. • Testers are already invited and active. • No redeem code is required. I am seeing the same issue on my own device as well. What I’ve tried: • Uploading new builds (incremented version + build number). • Confirmed builds are visible and available in App Store Connect. • Removing and re-adding testers. • Logging out of the app. • Deleting the app from the device. • Restarting the device. • Reinstalling directly from TestFlight. • Restarting TestFlight. Despite this, installation consistently fails with the “requested app is not available or doesn’t exist” error. Expected behavior: • New TestFlight builds should be installable once processed and available. • Testers (and the developer) should be able to install directly from TestFlight. • Expired builds should not block installation of newly uploaded builds. Additional context: • This started immediately after multiple TestFlight builds expired across my apps. • All affected apps were previously installing and testing without issue. • Apple Developer Support has been contacted, but I wanted to check whether others are seeing the same behavior or if there is a known workaround. Has anyone else encountered TestFlight builds becoming unavailable across multiple apps at once, or an install failure after replacing expired builds

BETA_CONTRACT_MISSING blocks external TestFlight although all agreements are Active
Since Oct 20, every attempt to submit a build of my iOS app for Beta App Review fails with HTTP 422 BETA_CONTRACT_MISSING (POST /iris/v1/betaAppReviewSubmissions). I re-tested today (Oct 28) with a new build 14 and got the same error. The public TestFlight link shows "Not Found". What I have verified: In App Store Connect > Business, the Paid Apps Agreement, Free Apps Agreement, banking, tax (W-9) and DSA compliance all show Active. On developer.apple.com/account, the Apple Developer Program License Agreement (issued Oct 13, 2026) was accepted Oct 16, 2026, and there is no pending agreement banner. TestFlight Test Information is complete (beta description, feedback email, privacy policy URL, beta review contact, review notes, beta license agreement), and export compliance is set. Support case 103003034724 (opened Oct 20, follow-up Oct 23) and feedback FB25331734 have had no reply. Has anyone seen BETA_CONTRACT_MISSING with all agreements active? Could an Apple engineer please check my account? Thank you.

TestFlight Beta Contract Missing – ENTITY_UNPROCESSABLE.BETA_CONTRACT_MISSING
Hello, I am unable to use TestFlight for any app (existing or new), while production uploads work normally. All TestFlight actions fail with: ENTITY_UNPROCESSABLE.BETA_CONTRACT_MISSING There are no pending agreements in App Store Connect. This is an older account that previously used TestFlight successfully. This appears to be a missing or detached TestFlight Beta contract on Apple’s backend. Could this be manually reattached or re-provisioned? This is time-sensitive, as I need a TestFlight external testers link to submit an app for an upcoming hackathon. Apple Support case ID (for reference): 102817552619 Thank you.

ENTITY_UNPROCESSABLE.BETA_CONTRACT_MISSING — TestFlight builds show as "Testing" but cannot be installed (internal and external), newly enrolled account
Hi, We cannot distribute any build via TestFlight. Both internal and external testing fail. This appears to be a server-side beta contract issue on the account. SYMPTOMS Builds upload and process successfully. All 8 builds show status "Testing" in App Store Connect with 84-90 days remaining. In the TestFlight app on device, the build appears with an Install button. Tapping Install fails immediately with: "Could not install [App]. The requested app is not available or doesn't exist." This happens for INTERNAL testing as well, which does not require Beta App Review — indicating the problem is not in the review pipeline. In App Store Connect, the "What to Test" step fails with: "There was an error processing your request. Please try again later." BROWSER CONSOLE EVIDENCE Repeated failures on the beta review submission endpoint: Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 422 https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/iris/v1/betaAppReviewSubmissions Also observed: 404 NOT_FOUND — /iris/v1/appTaxCategories/[app id] "There is no resource of type 'appTaxCategories' with id '...'"

No change. QUESTION Could the beta contract for this account be re-provisioned on the App Store Connect backend? Per previous threads this appears to require internal action. Apple Support Case ID: 103005208314 Bundle ID: com.tirtik.tirtik This is a server-side issue, not device-side. A sysdiagnose can be provided on request. Thank you.

Programatically install a specific build of an app in TestFlight
I’m looking for a supported way to programmatically install a specific build of an app distributed through TestFlight on a test device. My goal is to automate UI testing with XCUITest (via Appium): select a particular TestFlight build, install or update the app, and then run tests against that exact version. Is there an Apple-provided API, command-line tool, or recommended workflow for doing this? If not, is there a reliable way to automate the TestFlight app’s installation flow, including targeting a specific build? I also want to be able to automatically reinstall the app so I can isolate between multiple tests. I’m especially interested in whether this is supported on physical devices in CI and whether the answer differs for internal versus external TestFlight builds.

TestFlight broken for whole team after accepting Free Apps Agreement – builds auto-expire, installs fail, beta submission 422
New organization account. Since accepting the Free Apps Agreement on Oct 27, 2026, TestFlight stopped working for all our apps: All builds are marked Expired within days of upload, without anyone expiring them. Internal testers get "The requested app is not available or doesn't exist" when installing. External submission returns HTTP 422 ENTITY_UNPROCESSABLE (no sub-code) from /iris/v1/betaAppReviewSubmissions. TestFlight worked on Oct 21–22 (builds installed by testers). Membership and agreements are active; app metadata, privacy and export compliance are complete. App Apple ID: 6825263720 Developer Support case: 103012517274 Feedback: FB25359930 Could someone from Apple check whether our team's TestFlight beta contract needs to be re-linked? Thank you.

Account-wide TestFlight failure: install error + HTTP 422 (BETA_CONTRACT_MISSING)
Apple Developer Support case: 103009402078 (opened Oct 26, 2026, no resolution yet) Team ID: AC4JTSND8Z Every app record on my account fails in TestFlight, both for Internal Testing installs and for External Beta App Review submissions. A brand-new app record created after all agreements became active fails in exactly the same way, so this looks like an account-level backend problem. The App Store Connect API returns BETA_CONTRACT_MISSING for the account, which suggests the TestFlight beta contract was never provisioned on the backend.

Looking to Join an iOS Developer Team as a TestFlight Beta Tester
Hello Apple Developer Community, I am interested in joining an Apple Developer Organization Team as a beta tester and learning more about iOS app development. I currently use an iPhone 15 and have a free Apple Developer account. I am looking for legitimate opportunities to test iOS apps through TestFlight, provide useful feedback, and help developers identify bugs and usability issues. I would be grateful to connect with developers or organizations that welcome new beta testers and may be willing to invite me to their App Store Connect team. If you are interested, please reply to this post or mention my forum username so we can discuss the opportunity. I can provide my contact email privately if needed. Thank you for your time and guidance.

All TestFlight Builds Suddenly Expired – New Builds Cannot Install – BETA_CONTRACT_MISSING
Hello Apple Developer Team, I am experiencing a serious TestFlight issue affecting multiple applications under my Apple Developer account. The issue started on October 9, 2026. 1. All existing TestFlight builds suddenly expired On October 9, all previously available TestFlight builds across multiple applications unexpectedly changed to "Expired" at the same time. These applications were previously available for testing. 2. Newly uploaded builds cannot be installed I uploaded new builds to replace the expired ones. The uploads completed successfully, and App Store Connect shows the new builds as "Ready for Internal Testing." For example: App: Mai Anh Kiếm Version: 1.0 Build: 135 TestFlight shows approximately 89 days remaining. However, when an internal tester taps Install or Update, TestFlight displays the following error: "Could not install Mai Anh Kiếm. The requested app is not available or doesn't exist." Therefore, even newly uploaded builds cannot be installed through internal testing. 3. External Beta App Review submission fails When I attempt to submit a new build for external TestFlight review, App Store Connect returns HTTP 422 with the following error: ENTITY_UNPROCESSABLE.BETA_CONTRACT_MISSING Error detail: "Beta Contract is missing." 4. Account information I am the Account Holder and Admin. My Free Apps Agreement and Paid Apps Agreement are both Active. New builds can be uploaded and processed successfully. The issue affects multiple applications, not just one app. 5. Apple Developer Support response I contacted Apple Developer Support. Support Case ID: 102990933108 Apple Support confirmed that build 1.0 (135) is ready for internal testing, but this does not resolve the actual problem: internal testers still cannot install the build. My questions: Why did all existing TestFlight builds suddenly expire at the same time? Why are newly uploaded builds unavailable for installation, even for internal testers? What causes BETA_CONTRACT_MISSING when all visible agreements are active? Could this indicate an account-level TestFlight distribution or Beta Contract issue that requires intervention from Apple? Could an Apple TestFlight engineer please investigate this issue or advise how to get it escalated? I can provide screenshots of the installation error and the API response. Thank you for your assistance.

Testflight builds expired all at once
Anyone is experiencing this issue? Today without any reason we can think of, all of our builds were expired on Testflight. Without knowing what happened, then we tried to add a new build, that it it seems to be in good shape on Testflight, even with the mark green meaning is ready to be tested. Even though, by trying to install the app on iOS using TF, we are getting a message saying "The requested app is not available"

W-8BEN shows the wrong citizenship and the field is locked
I’m setting up tax information for my individual Apple Developer account. I’m a Pakistani citizen currently living in the UK. My App Store Connect legal address is in the UK, but the W-8BEN automatically fills Country of Citizenship: United Kingdom and the field is read-only, so I can’t change it to Pakistan. I have not submitted the form because the citizenship information would be incorrect I already opened a Finance Support case, but I’m waiting for a response. Has anyone had this fixed before? Did Apple reset the tax form, or is there another account setting that controls the citizenship field so I dont have to wait on it as It takes a long time for apple to reply from what I heard literally my only bottleneck before launch please let me know thanks kinda on a time crunch and I obiviously know that even submission will take long.

TestFlight App No Longer Available for Installation
I uploaded my app to App Store Connect to test it through TestFlight. Initially, I was able to download, install, and test the app without any issues. However, the following day, the app was no longer visible in TestFlight, and I could no longer download or install it. It has now been three days, and the issue still persists. I have been unable to access or reinstall the app through TestFlight. Could you please help me understand why this happened and how I can resolve the issue? Thank you for your assistance.

TestFlight invite remains bound to a previous Apple Account after tester removal
Hello, I need help resetting what appears to be an incorrect TestFlight tester-to-Apple-Account association. Our intended setup is: An organization-managed Apple Account is an internal tester in App Store Connect. A separate personal Apple Account is an external tester. Both accounts need to test the same iOS/iPadOS app independently. The iPad originally tested the app with the personal Apple Account. We later stopped testing and signed TestFlight in with the organization-managed Apple Account. We also removed and re-added the tester, sent a fresh invitation/redeem code, reinstalled TestFlight, and made a new build available. However, when the organization-managed account accepts its newly sent invitation, TestFlight says the currently signed-in Apple Account does not match the account associated with the invitation and identifies the previous personal account. At other times it reports that the app is not available for the current Apple Account. The new invitation therefore appears to remain bound to the original personal account, even after stopping testing and creating a fresh tester invitation. The device is an iPad mini (6th generation). The app itself installs and runs normally when the iPad is signed back into the original personal account, so this appears to concern TestFlight enrollment rather than app compatibility. How can a developer completely reset this association so the organization-managed internal tester receives its own valid TestFlight entitlement? Is this association keyed to the invitation, App Store Connect user record, Apple Account, or device? If it cannot be cleared by the developer, does Apple Developer Support need to remove a server-side TestFlight association? Thank you.

TestFlight Access
Subject: TestFlight — All Builds Expired, New Builds Cannot Be Installed — Any Update from Apple? I am experiencing an ongoing TestFlight issue affecting every application associated with my Apple Developer account. All existing TestFlight builds unexpectedly expired simultaneously, even though some were still within their 90-day validity period. New builds upload and process successfully, displaying "Ready to Test", but cannot be installed through TestFlight. I have reported this issue to Apple Developer Support multiple times and received automated acknowledgements, but no substantive technical response. My existing Apple Support case is 103005498458. I understand that other developers have experienced similar issues, potentially involving BETA_CONTRACT_MISSING or account-level TestFlight distribution provisioning. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who can answer the following: Has Apple acknowledged this issue or confirmed its cause? Has anyone had their TestFlight distribution functionality restored? If your account was repaired, did Apple need to make a backend correction? Has anyone discovered a reliable workaround? Have any Apple engineers provided an estimated resolution date? This issue is preventing testing and release preparation across multiple applications. Any updates or experiences from other affected developers would be greatly appreciated.

The App Store Connect API returns BETA_CONTRACT_MISSING for the account, which suggests the TestFlight beta contract was never provisioned on the backend.

TestFlight Beta Contract Missing – ENTITY_UNPROCESSABLE.BETA_CONTRACT_MISSING
Hello, I am unable to use TestFlight for any app (existing or new), while production uploads work normally. All TestFlight actions fail with: ENTITY_UNPROCESSABLE.BETA_CONTRACT_MISSING There are no pending agreements in App Store Connect. This is an older account that previously used TestFlight successfully. This appears to be a missing or detached TestFlight Beta contract on Apple’s backend. Could this be manually reattached or re-provisioned? This is time-sensitive, as I need a TestFlight external testers link to submit an app for an upcoming hackathon. Apple Support case ID (for reference): 103002585507 Thank you.

Looking to Join an iOS Developer Team as a TestFlight Beta Tester
Hello Apple Developer Community, I am interested in joining an Apple Developer Organization Team as a beta tester and learning more about iOS app development. I currently use an iPhone 15 and have a free Apple Developer account. I am looking for legitimate opportunities to test iOS apps through TestFlight, provide useful feedback, and help developers identify bugs and usability issues. I would be grateful to connect with developers or organizations that welcome new beta testers and may be willing to invite me to their App Store Connect team. If you are interested, please reply to this post or mention my forum username so we can discuss the opportunity. I can provide my contact email privately if needed. Thank you for your time and guidance.

All TestFlight Builds Suddenly Expired – New Builds Cannot Install – BETA_CONTRACT_MISSING
Hello Apple Developer Team, I am experiencing a serious TestFlight issue affecting multiple applications under my Apple Developer account. The issue started on October 9, 2026. 1. All existing TestFlight builds suddenly expired On October 9, all previously available TestFlight builds across multiple applications unexpectedly changed to "Expired" at the same time. These applications were previously available for testing. 2. Newly uploaded builds cannot be installed I uploaded new builds to replace the expired ones. The uploads completed successfully, and App Store Connect shows the new builds as "Ready for Internal Testing." For example: App: Mai Anh Kiếm Version: 1.0 Build: 135 TestFlight shows approximately 89 days remaining. However, when an internal tester taps Install or Update, TestFlight displays the following error: "Could not install Mai Anh Kiếm. The requested app is not available or doesn't exist." Therefore, even newly uploaded builds cannot be installed through internal testing. 3. External Beta App Review submission fails When I attempt to submit a new build for external TestFlight review, App Store Connect returns HTTP 422 with the following error: ENTITY_UNPROCESSABLE.BETA_CONTRACT_MISSING Error detail: "Beta Contract is missing." 4. Account information I am the Account Holder and Admin. My Free Apps Agreement and Paid Apps Agreement are both Active. New builds can be uploaded and processed successfully. The issue affects multiple applications, not just one app. 5. Apple Developer Support response I contacted Apple Developer Support. Support Case ID: 102990933108 Apple Support confirmed that build 1.0 (135) is ready for internal testing, but this does not resolve the actual problem: internal testers still cannot install the build. My questions: Why did all existing TestFlight builds suddenly expire at the same time? Why are newly uploaded builds unavailable for installation, even for internal testers? What causes BETA_CONTRACT_MISSING when all visible agreements are active? Could this indicate an account-level TestFlight distribution or Beta Contract issue that requires intervention from Apple? Could an Apple TestFlight engineer please investigate this issue or advise how to get it escalated? I can provide screenshots of the installation error and the API response. Thank you for your assistance.

Testflight builds expired all at once
Anyone is experiencing this issue? Today without any reason we can think of, all of our builds were expired on Testflight. Without knowing what happened, then we tried to add a new build, that it it seems to be in good shape on Testflight, even with the mark green meaning is ready to be tested. Even though, by trying to install the app on iOS using TF, we are getting a message saying "The requested app is not available"

W-8BEN shows the wrong citizenship and the field is locked
I’m setting up tax information for my individual Apple Developer account. I’m a Pakistani citizen currently living in the UK. My App Store Connect legal address is in the UK, but the W-8BEN automatically fills Country of Citizenship: United Kingdom and the field is read-only, so I can’t change it to Pakistan. I have not submitted the form because the citizenship information would be incorrect I already opened a Finance Support case, but I’m waiting for a response. Has anyone had this fixed before? Did Apple reset the tax form, or is there another account setting that controls the citizenship field so I dont have to wait on it as It takes a long time for apple to reply from what I heard literally my only bottleneck before launch please let me know thanks kinda on a time crunch and I obiviously know that even submission will take long.

TestFlight App No Longer Available for Installation
I uploaded my app to App Store Connect to test it through TestFlight. Initially, I was able to download, install, and test the app without any issues. However, the following day, the app was no longer visible in TestFlight, and I could no longer download or install it. It has now been three days, and the issue still persists. I have been unable to access or reinstall the app through TestFlight. Could you please help me understand why this happened and how I can resolve the issue? Thank you for your assistance.

TestFlight invite remains bound to a previous Apple Account after tester removal
Hello, I need help resetting what appears to be an incorrect TestFlight tester-to-Apple-Account association. Our intended setup is: An organization-managed Apple Account is an internal tester in App Store Connect. A separate personal Apple Account is an external tester. Both accounts need to test the same iOS/iPadOS app independently. The iPad originally tested the app with the personal Apple Account. We later stopped testing and signed TestFlight in with the organization-managed Apple Account. We also removed and re-added the tester, sent a fresh invitation/redeem code, reinstalled TestFlight, and made a new build available. However, when the organization-managed account accepts its newly sent invitation, TestFlight says the currently signed-in Apple Account does not match the account associated with the invitation and identifies the previous personal account. At other times it reports that the app is not available for the current Apple Account. The new invitation therefore appears to remain bound to the original personal account, even after stopping testing and creating a fresh tester invitation. The device is an iPad mini (6th generation). The app itself installs and runs normally when the iPad is signed back into the original personal account, so this appears to concern TestFlight enrollment rather than app compatibility. How can a developer completely reset this association so the organization-managed internal tester receives its own valid TestFlight entitlement? Is this association keyed to the invitation, App Store Connect user record, Apple Account, or device? If it cannot be cleared by the developer, does Apple Developer Support need to remove a server-side TestFlight association? Thank you.

TestFlight Access
Subject: TestFlight — All Builds Expired, New Builds Cannot Be Installed — Any Update from Apple? I am experiencing an ongoing TestFlight issue affecting every application associated with my Apple Developer account. All existing TestFlight builds unexpectedly expired simultaneously, even though some were still within their 90-day validity period. New builds upload and process successfully, displaying "Ready to Test", but cannot be installed through TestFlight. I have reported this issue to Apple Developer Support multiple times and received automated acknowledgements, but no substantive technical response. My existing Apple Support case is 103005498458. I understand that other developers have experienced similar issues, potentially involving BETA_CONTRACT_MISSING or account-level TestFlight distribution provisioning. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who can answer the following: Has Apple acknowledged this issue or confirmed its cause? Has anyone had their TestFlight distribution functionality restored? If your account was repaired, did Apple need to make a backend correction? Has anyone discovered a reliable workaround? Have any Apple engineers provided an estimated resolution date? This issue is preventing testing and release preparation across multiple applications. Any updates or experiences from other affected developers would be greatly appreciated.
