When trying to launch the app through testflight, i'm getting an error popup saying:

"MyAppName" Beta Has Expired

However, it literally says "Expires in 90 days" in testflight (i made this build yesterday). Only uninstalling the app and reinstalling through testflight fixes the issue. Restarting the phone does not work. This has happened multiple times with different builds and is starting to become an issue.

I suspect it might be related to us having many older builds that are expiring due to age, however I've double checked that only the latest non-expired build is the one installed on the device.

I also found this other (unsolved) forum post from 3 years ago which seems to describe the same problem. https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/117035

Same. Very ill-timed indeed.

We were able to distribute to "External Testers" but not "Internal Testers" so our workaround is to add team members to an External Testing group then distribute it to them.

Our app started experiencing this today with new version. We tried rebuilding the app, but no improvement. After update, it will open, but then next time attempt to open it says expired. We went back to a previous version and don't see the problem.

I’m seeing this error message on my iPhones today Testflight "Beta Has Expired" message when it has not expired. This happened only for me but not for my team

Same here. It's only for our physical devices since those are pulling the app in through TestFlight. Luckily it's not hitting our test environments so we can mostly operate. I'm getting around it by going to a previous build, and then updating to my newest target build. That'll work for a few hours, but then it reverts to being "expired."

Hopefully Apple will have some next steps.

Having the same issue

Temporary fix is to downgrade to an older build, then re-install the latest build. Rinse and repeat if the same error pops up again.

the same problem from yesterday. Workaround that works for me: 1) install older build, 2) don't launch it, 3) install latest - and it works.

Issue it likely due to an outage of the Developer ID Notary Service , see https://developer.apple.com/system-status/ and https://stackoverflow.com/a/74733026/4873972 . It works for me again though.

I have now the same problem. Can not install the app from TestFlight and even could not open the app.
