(React Native - Expo) App stuck on white screen when deployed on TestFlight
Hi everyone, I'm new here and i'm developing my first mobile application. I'm using react native & expo to develop it and EAS to build it and submit it to Apple. Everything is ok, when i'm running : npx expo-doctor@latest, no issue. The build is ok, and successfuly submited to Apple. When i'm trying it with TestFlight, i can launch the app, but stay stucked on a whitescreen. I'm trying to reproduce it with the following command : npx expo start --minify --no-dev Unfortunately, my app is running good... :) Anyone encountred the same problem ? FYI : SDK EXPO 51.0.22 Thanks in advance for any tips

All builds marked as expired
We are having an issue where all the builds on our App Store Connect account have been suddenly marked as expired. When we try to upload new builds, the upload is successful, the build is in Ready To Submit state in Testflight, the new build appears in Testflight but when we try to install the app we get the message "The requested app is not available or doesn't exist." How can we solve these issues?

How to resolve "ITMS-90129: The bundle uses a bundle name or display name that is already taken" for new builds of the same app
This error is reaction on new build created and uploaded to AppStore with new project but same bundleId/displayName/signingInfo. Here is the scenario with symbolic values to explain it better: Build #1 (Version 1.0) project: P1 Bundle id: com.some.app Display name: My App Signing info: TeamX, CertificateX (automatic signing) I had to move the app to new project with completely new targets/configs/sources but same app metadata. Build #2 (Version 1.0) project: P2 (new) Bundle id: com.some.app Display name: My App Signing info: TeamX, CertificateX (automatic signing) So you can see that all is changed but the important app metadata (BundleId, DisplayName, Signing info) remained the same. Yet the upload of build 2 results with: ITMS-90129: The bundle uses a bundle name or display name that is already taken Note that the Build #2 showed in "AppStoreConnect / TestFlight / iOS Builds / Version 1.0" for a few seconds as "Processing" but than disapeared with the error. Thus Apple tries to add the new build #2 it to proper application version but than for some reason it thinks that Build #1 and #2 comes from different applications. Any thoughts why?

"The application bundle does not contain an icon in ICNS format"
The answer to my question is probably very simple but I've spent twelve hours trying to find it myself and I am at my wit's end. Searching the web shows multiple sufferers from, and multiple answers to, this same problem from at least ten years ago. I've a SwiftUI macOS/iOS app that is not finished but at a stage where I want to get it ready for TestFlight. I set it up on App State Connect and set Xcode Cloud to build it on GitHub commits. The first build revealed some obvious omissions, easily fixed, then I hit this one, for macOS: Missing required icon. The application bundle does not contain an icon in ICNS format, containing both a 512x512 and a 512x512@2x image. [In passing, I'll note the app, passes muster for the iOS platform] I make a 1024x1024 PNG .. convert it to ICNS with GraphicConverter .. convert it again with iconutil to a iconset and add it to my app. I do a regular build in Xcode and, there it is, my .icns file in the app bundle. I commit to fire off another Xcode Cloud build, but get the same error. Especially frustrating because I can see the ".. application bundle does contain an icon in ICNS format, containing both a 512x512 and a 512x512@2x image". It's hard to debug from an abundantly obvious incorrect diagnostic, but I do have to get past this and start fiddling with assorted settings .. ten builds later, still no joy. I did notice that my Info.plist file (autogenerated) doesn't contain the string "icon" and that, for example, Mail.app has: <key>CFBundleIconFile</key> <string>ApplicationIcon</string> <key>CFBundleIconName</key> <string>ApplicationIcon</string> If the build process checks for an icon based on the Info.plist contents then the reported error could be more correct, ".. application bundle's Info.plist file makes no reference to an icon in ICNS format .." One possible complication is that my app includes embedded custom fonts and so it need a Fonts.plist file for them. I set that file as my INFOPLIST_FILE <key>UIAppFonts</key> <array> <string>Zerlina.otf</string> <string>Gorton-Condensed.otf</string> <string>Gorton-Normal-180.otf</string> <string>Gorton-Normal-120.otf</string> </array> <key>ATSApplicationFontsPath</key> <string>.</string> The contents of Fonts.plist are copied to the final Info.plist. Maybe that defeated some of the Info autogeneration? I see no setting for CFBundleIconFile so can't add it myself. I'm confident pressing "Submit" on this will suddenly clear my mental murk but, for now, I need help .. thanks for any ..

Tesflight eCommerce error, Beta testers outside the US, for our MacOS App, are being told their ID is not valid in the US Store
Beta testers outside the US, for our MacOS App, are being told their ID is not valid in the US Store and that they must switch to a store in their country. Yet the store switch fails Essentially beta testers outside the US cannot do testflight sandbox eCommerce for the Mac version of our app. Note that eCommerce on the Mac works for US based testers and eCommerce for the iOS/iPadOS works for testers in all territories. Many of these testers are in India, the UK and Canada. We believe that this is incorrect, that storeKit is not correctly detecting the AppStore Region for mac based testflight eCommerce. At this point we have 382 testers, most outside the US and we can only Beta Test our app with US users. Attached are images of the messages that are coming from storeKit: Here is a link to a video from a user in Canada who is demonstrating the problem (cut and paste into browser) https://youtu.be/kB818wfVld4 Here is another link to a video from a user in Canada who is demonstrating the problem (cut and paste into browser). https://youtu.be/7uAZKo8wpfU We see that there is another post with a similar problem. Similar eCommerce Problem Because eCommerce works in all territories on iOS/iPadOS but ONLY in the US for Mac we suspect that this is an error that either a DBA or a coder will need to fix. Any insights from anyone would be appreciated.

Cannot upload lower build number after higher build submission is approved
We encountered a weird situation recently. Our daily build process upload an app with a daily incremental 4-digit build number, e.g. 4000, 4001, 4002, etc. Our release build number has a specific requirement to use the date, such as 20240719. In the past I have learned that in order to upload a new build for the same version number, the new build number needs to be greater than the old one. Thus, if I have uploaded 200.1.0 (20240719), I cannot upload 200.1.0 (4001) anymore, because the daily build's build number is smaller than the release build. I have to expire the 20240719 build in order for the daily build to continue, which is fine. The problem is, yesterday I submitted 200.1.0 (20240719) for App Store review then got approved. While today's daily build is 200.2.0 (4001) and when it is uploaded, it got rejected for the following error message: This bundle is invalid. The value for key CFBundleVersion [4001] in the Info.plist file must contain a higher version than that of the previously uploaded version [20240719]. Please find more information about CFBundleVersion at https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/information_property_list/cfbundleversion With error code STATE_ERROR.VALIDATION_ERROR.90061 for id [redacted] Asset validation failed (-19208) This befuddles me, because the 20240719 build submitted for review is in an older release version, while the daily build 4001 is using the newer release version number. It seems that TestFlight decided to compare build numbers while ignoring the version numbers?! Furthermore, after I canceled my approved submission for 200.1.0 (20240719), surprisingly the 200.2.0 (4001) can be uploaded without an error! 😲 It seems that the only factor is whether the build is submitted or not. If an older version number higher build (200.1.0 (20240719)) is not submitted, then TestFlight happily allows newer version number lower build (200.2.0 (4001)) to be uploaded. In contrast, if submitted, then 4001 is not allowed to be uploaded! Is it an expected behavior? Thank you for the patience.
