we have some testflight external testers who have installed our app through testflight external links now my question is if I release a version higher than testflight version on app store now will the testflight user get an update that a new version of this app is released on app store and will there data be lost if they install a app store version over testflight version?
(please I am asking about overrirding testflight app from app store not overriding app store app with testflight app)

Uploading to App Store Connect works fine until publishing for review with the App Store.
On xcode 11.3 Beta, the most up to date.
Email includes;
ITMS-90745: Invalid Toolchain - Your app was built with a version of
Xcode or SDK that is not yet supported. For information about the
supported version of Xcode or SDK for App Store submissions, view

I can upload just fine and use TestFlight just fine.
What is the max x-code version for uploading binary to the app store?
You are using a beta version for uploading apps to the app store.
Since Apple doesn't provide support for beta builds on the app store, you need to upload using xcode 10 until xcode 11 comes out of beta.
The beta allows testing through testflight but your binary will always be rejected whilst on a new beta.
Tl;dr. Always use the most up to date version available on the Mac App Store when wanting to upload to the app store.

I'm just preparing my app for iOS 9, prior to the new release next week, using latest beta version of Xcode but it gives me this error message:
Nope, you cannot with beta versions of Xcode (same as with previous beta versions of Xcode). Now the newest Xcode version is the 7.1 beta which cannot be used for publishing apps. But there is Xcode 7.0 GM version and with this one it should be possible to publish app. Now when I am uploading apps it gives me same warning ("Invalid Toolchain..."; but I have it in testing for internal testers, I am uploading app via Application Loader) but it shouldn't take long and after few days Apple sends emails to developers that App Store now accepts iOS 9 versions of apps.
I am totally confused about the mac certificates. I found around 5 different types of certificates in the Apple developers account for Mac. What is the difference between them? Which one is used when I apply an app in Mac app store for distribution?

Here's what's happening when my iPad beta testers are installing a new revision using Testflight. They...
Delete the current version of their iPad app.
Install the new revision of the app on their iPad from the TestFlight email.
Open the app.
A Testflight screen then appears saying there is a new version of the app and asking if they would like to install it. If the user reinstalls the app, the same screen reappears when they open the app.
They've already installed the new version. Is this a Testflight bug or am I doing something wrong?
See my answer at Can't Install xCode 4.3 beta apps using TestFlight for a related issue that was solved by switching services.
