Testflight: Cannot upload build, cannot download SDK

Question

I'm having difficulties with TestFlight today. I've tried to upload ipa for the new app but getting this error:

Sorry, we are no longer accepting any new builds that use the TestFlight SDK. Please remove the SDK and re-upload. Learn More.

Learn more just point to generic Help portal, not helpful. Thought the problem is with actual SDK (it's not latest version) but when I went to Dashboard/SDK, there is another error waiting for me:

Sorry, the TestFlight SDK is no longer available for download for Team xxx.
If you require technical support, please contact [email protected]

I've checked and I can only download SDK for one team, the rest of the teams is getting the same error.

Any assistance appreciated.

Answer 1

I think this is related to the Apple purchase of TestFlight.

My colleague told me that Android has also been disabled for TestFlight so it wouldn't surprise me if they have taken the whole thing down for maintenance (updating/permanently/moving it to ITC/etc...).

Answer 2

According to TestFlight, this is because:

On 2/19/2014 we announced that only Teams who have previously uploaded a build with the TestFlight SDK will be able to continue to upload builds with the SDK.

And this means that:

• If your team has never uploaded a build with an SDK or you are a new TestFlight user then you will not be able to incorporate any version of the TestFlight SDK.
