TestFlight Beta has expired

I uploaded a new build to AppStoreConnect. I was able to test it through TestFlight.

I sent the build to review, it was approved. Then when I tried to open the test app on my device and got the above error:

The status on TestFlight seems to be "Ready for Submit, expires in 86 days".

I tried to remove the app, and reinstall it from TestFlight. Then I got this:

Restarting the phone, or trying to install it from a different device leads to the same problem.

Why does that happen? Is it an Apple-side bug?

What is the workaround for this issue?

Solution

  • It seems to be a bug in TestFlight and/or iOS.

    It happens when you upload a new version with automatic updates. Installing the app manually seems to be just fine.

    Consider downgrading to a previous build and then manually updating it or uploading and installing a new build. Both options should solve this issue.

    It started to happen in late October 2022, and it is still happening to our builds as of November 2022.
