This is an interesting support issue; This iPhone has our app that freezes every time on the start up screen but does not have an icon to un-install. The startup issue has been addressed in the next build, but it requires uninstalling the app first.

iPhone as been rebooted many times.
TestFlight has been un-installed and reinstalled (only offers user to “open app”) - if the app was not on phone, it would say “install app”.
iPhone does not have an icon - to hold down and delete app
All iPhones have a search for apps and also a grouping apps feature where the app (not icon) shows up - can’t uninstall from these areas, only attempt to load but the app crashes/freezes on the screen below.

Overview; app needs to be installed and then reinstalled, but the only method to uninstall is not available? Help!!!!

I have the same issue on an iPad. Also, when I stopped the TestFlight (it had expired) and installed the production version of the app, the icon on homescreen still looked like the TestFlight app. And no way to uninstall it...

Hi, I had the same issue and here is how I fixed it:

open testflight and tap on the icon of the app you are testing (need to uninstall)
scroll down and press the "Stop Testing" button.

I then now redeem another code for testflight I was be able to install the new version of the app. Hope this works for you as well. Cheers.
