Hello, I am unable to use TestFlight for any app (existing or new), while production uploads work normally.

All TestFlight actions fail with: ENTITY_UNPROCESSABLE.BETA_CONTRACT_MISSING

There are no pending agreements in App Store Connect. This is an older account that previously used TestFlight successfully.

This appears to be a missing or detached TestFlight Beta contract on Apple’s backend. Could this be manually reattached or re-provisioned?

This is time-sensitive, as I need a TestFlight external testers link to submit an app for an upcoming hackathon.

Apple Support case ID (for reference): 102817552619

Thank you.

Adding our report of the same TestFlight submission error.

Apple Developer Support case: 103001365191

An external TestFlight beta-review submission returned HTTP 422 with this exact error:

Code: ENTITY_UNPROCESSABLE.BETA_CONTRACT_MISSING
Title: Beta contract is missing for the app.
Detail: Beta Contract is missing.

Both the Free Apps Agreement and the Paid Apps Agreement show Active in App Store Connect. We have added the diagnostic response to our existing support case.

Could Apple please investigate which beta contract is reported missing and fix the contract validation or provisioning for our app/account, including reattaching or re-provisioning the contract if needed? Please link the investigation to case 103001365191 and let us know whether any action is required on our side.

Thank you.

We have the same problem since 17 October 2026. Internal builds 8–13 are VALID and "In Beta Testing", and I am an accepted internal tester, but the TestFlight app says "The requested app is not available or doesn't exist." Submitting a build for external beta review first returned ENTITY_UNPROCESSABLE.BETA_CONTRACT_MISSING; today (29 Oct) it returns "Please try again later." in both App Store Connect and the API.
The Free Apps agreement is active, and builds are made with the release version of Xcode 27.0 (27A266a). Our support case 102999995151 has had no reply in two weeks. Could you please restore our beta contract or escalate the case to the TestFlight team? Thank you.

I’m experiencing this too across multiple apps. Older builds suddenly expired together on the same day. New builds upload successfully, but internal testers get “The requested app is not available or doesn't exist.” External beta review submission fails with HTTP 422 — ENTITY_UNPROCESSABLE: “Please try again later.”

Apple Support case: 103016852963. Could someone from Apple please investigate?

Same issue on our team. All apps are affected: TestFlight installs fail with HTTP 404 "Error Downloading Install Data", and external submission returns 422 ENTITY_UNPROCESSABLE "Please try again later." Builds are VALID and IN_BETA_TESTING, the Free Apps Agreement is Active.

Case ID: 103012518088. Only automatic replies since October 29.

Could someone from Apple please check whether the Beta Contract is missing for our team, re-provision it if so, or escalate the case to the TestFlight team?
