AppGroup data of offloaded apps lost after restoring from iCloud backup
I was able to reproduce this with our own app as well as with apps by other developers (e.g. Documents by Readdle).Our app stores its data in the app group:Foundation.FileManager.default.containerURL(forSecurityApplicationGroupIdentifier: AppGroupConstants.appGroupIdentifier).appendingPathComponent("File Provider Storage", isDirectory: true)!.appendingPathComponent("Media", isDirectory: true)1) Install the app from the App Store2) Add some data3) Manually offload the app (Settings -> General -> iPhone/iPad Storage -> *App Name* -> Offload App)4) Backup device to iCloud5) Reset device (Settings -> General -> Erase All Content and Settings)6) Restore device from iCloud Backup (this is important - it works with iTunes backups)7) Open the app. Because it was offloaded it gets downloaded at this point but the app group data is NOT restored.This looks like a serious bug to me.Can someone confirm this?

How to correctly deactivate Testflight for App transfer
Hello!I would like to initiate an App transfer for one of my Apps. When I click the "Transfer App" button I get a message telling me that one criteria is not met: “You must turn off TestFlight beta testing for the app that you want to transfer”. I turned off Testflight by checking the checkbox "Not Available for Testing" for Internal and External testers. Unfortunately I still get the same critertia not met message.After a google search I found out that I might have encountered this bug:http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32906771/itunesconnect-cannot-transfer-app-because-of-you-must-turn-off-testflight-beta/32909981#32909981Does anybody have a solution for this? Since the discussion was started already on Oct 2nd and there is still no real workaround/answer for it I am not sure if I didn't miss something else when turning off Testflight.Is there anything else to do besides setting Internal and External testing to "Not Available for Testing" or is this indeed a bug in iTunes Connect which hasn't been fixed for over 2 months now?Thanks!
