After uploading the app via adHoc deployment I see this message on the iTunesConnect.
"TestFlight doesn’t support apps with Watchkit extension"
Does anyone have a idea why this is shown and what is the solution?
Looks like Apple TestFlight is not yet ready for WatchKit apps. You can temporarily disable WatchKit extension inclusion by deleting this row from main iOS app General Settings:
The only way is via old school Ad Hoc or enterprise signing (and HockeyApp)
There is currently no solution, WatchKit apps cannot be distributed over TestFlight yet. I would estimate it will be enabled sometime after April 24 once the Apple Watch is released.

I have noticed on iOS 15, when I install an app from TestFlight, my app icon is not appearing on the device. Only placeholder for app icon appears on physical device.
All app icon assets for every resolution are correctly added to Assets. The app icon appears in the test flight app and in appstoreconnect everywhere including TestFlight and builds.
The only place it doesn't appear is on the device. It appears normally on the simulator.
The only fix I found was to add a version of the app to add a build where you submit for review and save it. No need to submit. Then install from TestFlight and reboot device. The problem is as soon as I uploaded a new build to TestFlight it stopped showing icon and had to go through this silly process again.
I have never had this issue with past apps and wondering what the issue is and how to resolve it.
I encountered the same issue with testflight on iOS 15. I found this from apple developer forum that might of help:
https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/682648
According to the accepted answer by #vladweinstein, a temporary solution is to restart the device after installing the app.
This works for me too.
We are still having the same issue with TestFlight apps (iOS 14.7 and iOS 15+)
The only solution we found is to restart the device as Raphael Rex mentioned.
I am trying to archive my tvOS app to submit it to the App Store. But I have an error:
I don't understand what is the problem because I have a valid Developer Account and I checked the case "Automatically manage signing".
I also tried to create a tvOS provisioning profile for my app but it doesn't work.
Note: I have an iOS version of my app, which is already on the App Store and I created the tvOS app as a new target, but it seems not to work in a new project.
Can you help me please?
Fastest Solution for you is to Uncheck "Automatically Manage Signing" and go to developer site and create a provisioning profile with your apps bundle id and download it and add it to Xcode. Then it will stop complaining for the second one.
When you achieve select "Generic tvOS Device"as target device then it will stop complaining for the first one.
If you have time then watch Whats new in App Signing video of wwdc 2016 - https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2016/401/ , it has more info on how to debug when these kind of error occur.
I want to remove Apple Watchkit from my App until the new version of IOS is released. This is so I can upload releases of the App until we can upload Watchkit based Apps.
I deleted the 2 Folders:
Twoater WatchKit Extension
Twoater Watchkit App
I then deleted the two Targets of the same name.
I built the App successfully.
I then tried to run the simulator and got a LaunchError = 0.
So something somewhere is not correct.
Did I remove the Watchkit in the correct way or is there a better way of doing it to ensure that all config files are properly adjusted ?
What you're doing is quite a bit overboard.
You should just create two separate schemes: one which includes the WatchKit App Extension and App (for testing for iOS 8.2) and one that doesn't include it (for testing with iOS 8.1 and submitting to the store).
You'll need to provide more details on your error running in the sim. See An error was encountered while running (Domain = LaunchServicesError, Code = 0)
After upgrading my iPhone 5 to iOS 7 beta, it seems I have to re-connect it to Testflight.
Unfortunately, I can't install the provisioning profile:
After selecting 'Reconnect Device', 'Install Profile', 'Install Now', the alert is 'Profile Installation Failed. You iPhone is not activated'
I tried to remove the previous profiles, clear Safari cache and reboot, but no success...
Short answer - Go to TestFlight directly on Mobile Safari and use the TestFlight CocoaPod.
We got TestFlight working on the latest iOS 7 build. The TestFlight "app" that installs doesn't work, but manually visiting the TestFlight site in Mobile Safari allows you to install the profile and load the app. Nothing special needed. It sometimes takes a few tries loading the profile to get it to actually load.
Also, loading our apps into TestFlight wasn't working, so we started using the TestFlight CocoaPod and it works great.
I got it working on an iPad mini running iOS 7 beta 5, that was previously used with testflight while running iOS 6. It seems that it will work under some circumstances. What I did:
Unregistered the device from its connected testflight user account (actually this step might be irrelevant)
Launched testflightapp.com from Safari, not from any icon placed on home screen. It has to be from Safari where the url bar is shown. From here I could install betas. However the device itself is not listed under any user and it is not activated. While trying to activate it, testflight app says the registering works OK, however it really fails.
So, it MIGHT work but it's clear that the people at testflight has some work to do.
More: I am unable to get it working with an iPhone 4 iOS 7 beta 5 at all. The iPhone has not previously been used with testflight and seems to require an activation through that profile (at testflight or Apple, not sure) but the activation fails and there's no app list coming up in Safari, just the activation sequence. The key here might be that the device must have been used with testflight before, while on iOS previous to 7.
It seems that using testflight with iOS 7 beta does not work and/or is not supported at the moment.
Not sure what happened here but I was using testflight with an iPad mini that had iOS6. When I just upgraded it to iOS 7, the testflight site loads on the device, however installs never process.
I found the answer of Lysann Schlegel most useful. After some experimenting, I found out that simply opening TestFlight from Safari works fine. Don't use TestFlight app icon.
I had the same problem. In my case after i connect my iphone with the xcode/ organizer beta it let me install again the apps.
Check in Settings if you have the Developer options.
I'm sorry to say that this is currently untested and is a only workaround, but try downloading the ipa file from the TestFlightApp "Share this build" link and use xcode to install it.
This link is normally provided to allow pre iOS4 users to install using testflightapp.com
Even if this works this workaround is probably unacceptable for a vast majority of beta testers.
I'd say also use the "iphone configuration utility" but I suspect that the current release does not support the iOS beta.
If this does fix the issue for people then it's some confirmation that it's mainly the OTA profile that's at issue.
I did a fresh install of iOS 7 beta 6 (it did not have any provisioning profiles before) and was able to load an app from TestFlight. Installing the provisioning profile failed from the web, but I was able to get the correct one onto the device through XCode's Organizer. Then I downloaded the app from TestFlight in Safari (not the little portal TestFlight app). It loaded up just fine.
I am using xcode to develop a prototype application. Nothing too fancy, just slide effects and other simple gestures. Mostly moving images around the screen.
I can preview the app on my laptop using ios simulator, but how do I take the prototype to the iPad for a more realistic view?
Thank you
First, you need to join a paid iOS Developer Program or, if possible, the iOS University Program.
Then, you will have to create and install provisioning profiles using the steps in this documentation.
After that, you can test on iOS devices the same way you test on the Simulator.
Edit
Alleviate the need to go to the iOS Provisioning Portal every time you want to add a device to your provisioning profile by using automatic provisioning.
An easier way to install provisioning profiles is to let Xcode manage them for you. See the paragraph "To provision a device automatically for development" in this guide for more information.
This process requires a developer account with Apple - and you have to go through the Provisioning Portal to setup your provisioning profile. Apple recently came up with a great getting started guide:
