I have test flight installed on my iOS 8.1 device (iPhone 5C), and an email invitation to join a beta release of an application on TestFlight. The email has the "Open in Test Flight >" button and the apple ID it was sent for matches the apple ID logged into TestFlight on the device.
When I press the button I am redirected to a website on my Chrome browser app, which redirects me immediately to the App Store page for TestFlight. Thats it. No app is added. If I open test flight, the app is not there.
Has anyone experienced this issue?
I also faced the same issue. I have installed TestFlight in my iPhone 6 device and also opened app invitation mail in Safari browser. But while I am accepting app invitation by clicking on 'Open app in TestFlight' button, it was opening TestFlight app on App Store with open button. After click on Open button , TestFlight iOS app was opened with no apps.
After did researching found solution as, configured your mail in Apple Mail client and accept invitation from there. Now TestFlight app will be open with your app.
I know this is very late to reply your question but may this will be helpful for others. :)
The solution is to get the link to open in safari and not in chrome.
no need to remove any apps or installing your mail in Apple Mail.
In your desktop gmail, right click on the link ("Open in TestFlight") and copy link address.
Open a new mail and paste the link - send it back to your self.
Now, on your phone, open gmail app and copy paste the link in Safari. Enter!
Buona fortuna!
I found that I can only get consistent results by going to my email client through Safari browser and clicking the link. I removed Chrome browser and go the link through my Gmail app, but it just decided to default to the iOS mail app which was useless as it doesn't show a URL.
Quite broken really, and updating in the TestFlight app (which shouldn't be possible if it's not going to actually update) does nothing as far as I've seen.
I too faced same issue, you can resolve it by using any of the following steps :
click the link from apple native email client (not gmail or inbox)
open email on safari browser (not chrome)
or on desktop right click on email and copy address and use that link.

i need assistance to resolve an issue . I have successfully integrated branch.io with my ios app. My web server side send link of account verification which is deep linked in the app using domain.

Working Scenarios:

on the deep linked link , it successfully open up the app.
when i create a link from dashboard and open the link from that app
, it open the app successfully.
Error Scenario:
1:when the same link is opened through gmail app or mail app from iphone it does not open the app and it prompts me to open the link in store, and it gives the following result, which is added in the screen shot.
Please make sure that you have our Deep Linked Email feature integrated with your ESP because normal Branch links will not open the app from Gmail/Mail apps.
If you have Deep Linked Emails enabled, this means that something went wrong during the setup process. Please follow our docs here to ensure that you did not miss any steps:
https://docs.branch.io/pages/emails/sendgrid/
For more help, please write in to integrations#branch.io as we would need access to your dashboard to see your Deep Linked Email configuration. Thanks!
Has anyone found a way to accept a TestFlight Beta invite without using the Apple Mail app?
My users don't have personal email associated with their devices. What I would like to do is provide a method that they copy the link to their device. One way would be to convert the link in the invite email to a QR code, which they could then scan on their device and use. However, I haven't been able to figure out how to use the link from QR apps such as ZBar. They just open the TestFlight Beta App in iTunes or they fail.
The solution I'm looking for won't require users to manually key in a long and complicated url.
Does TestFlight Beta somehow check to see if an email address that matches the invite is configured?
Classic TestFlight was soooo much better...
You can also copy the link and send it to your device using Message.
If you open the Testflight link (sent in the invite) on your desktop browser, you'll likely see a screen that looks like this:
There's a redemption code in there which you can then pass along in the Testflight iOS app.
I had success manually typing the link into Safari on the device but I only needed to do it once.
I am fairly sure each tester receives a unique link so you need to ensure the Apple ID that is logged into the TestFlight app on the device matches the link that is used.
I have submitted my apps to test flight and able to download it using testflightapp.com. However, when I access it through the testflight app itself, it says "You are currently not testing any app"?
I have checked the following link but it's not helpful
http://help.testflightapp.com/customer/portal/articles/829653-i-don-t-see-any-apps-after-connecting-my-device-to-my-account-
I guess you donwloaded the Apple Testfligt App. It's different than the system you are using. You need to access the testflightapp-website with your Ipad/Iphone. Have a look in your emails. There should be a Testflight link. Open it with your iOS device and it should work. It will reate an icon on your home-screen which looks like an App but is just the link to testflightapp.com
Other tip, always open your TestFlight emails with the mail default app from the iPad/iPhone or Safari.
I was using gmail app to open the mail but it was failing
There are many answers explaining how to create a link to the app in the iTunes store:
itms-app://itunes.apple.com/app/id{APPID}
My application is sending out an email via the sharing functionality in iOS7 (UIActivityViewController) which includes the above URL.
If the application has never been published before, clicking on the above link in the email on the iPhone device (the Simulator doesn't have the iTunes application) opens iTunes as expected but nothing is displayed.
How can I verify before publishing the initial version of my app that my iTunes link is indeed correct?
There is no way to verify, just hope that it will work, really. What I do is plug in the id of one of my existing apps during testing to make sure that works, then before publishing I grab the actual id from itunesconnect, paste it in, and submit!
When a user adds their first device to TestFlight and creates their account, it installs an app that's a wrapper for the mobile version of the TestFlight site. This provides a convenient way for them to install any builds the developer sends them without having to go through their e-mail.
When they go through the process again on another device, it doesn't install the app - only the TestFlight over-the-air provisioning profile.
How can they get that app on their second device, or if they inadvertently delete it from the first one? They can add a Mobile Safari shortcut for the page to their home screen, but that's not quite the same as it then opens the page in mobile Safari. Is there any other way?
Since the link in the accepted answer is no longer valid, I give you an additional answer
with the instructions shamelessy stolen from the (at the moment) correct link.
(Hopefully this answer will prove useful even if the link rots.)
Sometimes Mobile Safari causes web clip issues and they need to be re-created. Here's how to do that:
Delete the TestFlight webclip from your device.
Remove the TestFlight WebClip profile. (Settings > General > Profile)
Clear History, Cookies and Data for Safari.
Restart your device.
Login to https://testflightapp.com/m/login on Mobile Safari.
Tap Connect Device.
Tap Install on the Install Profile page and follow the prompts to install the profile and web clip.
Tap Done once you see profile installed.
Try following these instructions from TestFlight.
