Apple's TestFlight provides old builds

My team uses TestFlight to deploy beta builds within the company. Frequently, the TestFlight App does not want to install the latest version.

For example, we will get a TestFlight email informing us about an App update for build #91. The email includes a link ""Open in TestFlight". When you tap the link, TestFlight opens, but offers to install build #90 (an older build), instead of build #91 (the latest).

  • Is this a known problem?
  • Are there work arounds to improve the situation?

How long do TestFlight builds last?

If you checked the Automatically notify testers checkbox, your external testers will receive notification emails at this point. Otherwise, you'll have to go back to App Store Connect to start testing. Your external testers will then receive an invitation email. Note: A build is only valid for 90 days.

What happens when TestFlight build expired?

TestFlight will tell you how many days until your current version expires. Once expired, you won't be able to use the Register app until you update to newer early access version or revert to the regular version of the Register app. To update to a newer early access version, open TestFlight and select Update.

In the "Prereleases" list for your App, once your build has finished processing, you'll be able to click the link for that particular test build and go a page with meta data about it. Switch to the "Test Information" tab.

I had filled "TestFlight Beta Information" section, but empty "Beta App Review Information". After filled second one and saved, I received email and notification about new build available.

Solution:

Fill whole form :P
