I deployed android app using Beta by Crashlytics and sent invitation to a user, the user opened the invitation in his android device and saw the following message:
"Open the invitation email on your device to begin registering for beta testing"
and not the Download button that will allow him to install Beta app as expected.
I deployed the app using Fastlane, not sure if it's related.
Any idea what could be the reason ?
I reproduced this on 2 different devices, and this appears to be an issue with the user agent reported by the browser that services the link [1].
Fix: Install chrome if absent. Alternately, copy the link at the top of the opened invitation and paste it into chrome.

It sounds like the tester hasn't accepted the invitation to test your app yet. Check out https://docs.fabric.io/android/beta/beta-walkthrough.html to view the Beta steps and emails that testers receive. Once the tester accepts the invitation they can download builds.

I have tested successfully a debug version of an instant app that is called by an app link, e.g., https://domain/?q=1234567. I have created a release version and signed it with a "Create new" key. Upload to a new Closed Testing release fails, however, because the Bundle is signed "with the wrong key".
What am I doing wrong in trying to test a release version without Publishing publicly? Do I have to go forward to Publish and rely on my previous debug testing of the app link or is there a way to verify the app link operation in closed testing?"
It took a lot of digging, but I found the answer here:
https://developer.android.com/studio/run/rundebugconfig
It is the documentation for "Create and edit run/debug configurations".
It says:
URL - Launch a URL that matches an intent filter in your app's
manifest. When selected, the URL field appears below, where you can
enter the URL.
You must fill in this field to launch an Android Instant App. You may
also use this to test your Android App Links.
This confirms that my successful testing of my app link to initiate my instant app proves it will work in release form when it is published.
When attempting to implement Firebase Cloud Messaging into my application, I am receiving the following error at runtime:
I am receiving an FCM token, so it appears to be establishing a connection with firebase. I have read many suggestions on what the problem could be, many seem to indicate that there is a problem with my provisioning profile not allowing push notifications. I have checked these settings under "Signing & Capabilities" and it appears that the profile allows for push notifications, and has the aps-environment value in the entitlements section:
Is there something else I'm missing?
Here is my development environment:
macOS 10.15 (Catalina)
Xcode 11.5
iPad Air 2 (test deployment device)
I finally found the answer. Although my provisioning profile states that I have the aps-environment entitlement, and that I have Push Notification capability included, I STILL had to enable push notifications manually in the project. Additionally, the Background Modes (Remote notifications) capability needed to be added as well. These menus have changed in recent versions of xcode (for instance, the capabilities menu is now called signing and capabilities, and the add capability button is nestled up above all the settings).
In Xcode 11.5, follow these steps:
Click on your workspace name
Select your project in the target list
Select Signing & Capabilities
Click the +Capability button
Add Push Notifications and Background Modes (Remote notifications) from the list.
I try to test in app purchases with sandbox users. Unfortunately I always get the error "Cannot connect to itunes store". All bug fixes I've seen mention you should reset some settings in the "Screen time" section of the settings app. However, I don't have any screen time in the settings app. What am I missing? iOS version is 13.3 of the test device. I've also tried to login to the itunes account with the sandbox user, but this doesn't work of course. So what am I missing?
In app purchase testing on the simulator is impossible. Test only on a device. When you run the app from Xcode, the sandbox user will be used automatically; no need to sign out of your normal user. Even simpler, use TestFlight.
I'm new to windows phone, and I don't have a real device to test on.
I know that one can install .XAP files from SD card.. but does this process reqires internet access to check that the app is on the store or I just installs it as in Android?
Thanks in advance
You can debug your app on your physical device in Visual Studio. Your device has to be connected via usb cabel to your computer and has to be developer unlocked. You can developer unlock your phone with the Windows Phone Developer Registration Tool, which is a part of the Windows Phone SDK. You can find more information about the process here.
No, you cannot install the xap package on other people devices until unless their phones are not developer unlocked. When you build a .xap package in Release mode, you need to first upload it to Store where the Microsoft team checks package for security concerns. Once that has been checked, package verified, then the packages can be installed, basically uploading the app.
To debug the app, its better to unlock your friend's phone and then test it on it. After that if you wish you can also un-register the phone to revert back to original developer locked mode.
There is one more method which I use when my app is completed but do not wish to release the app on store, but instead, I wish that first these apps be used by my friends first, they give feedback and after that I finally submit the app on Store.
To do this, I submit the app in private visibility on Store. There is an option while submitting the app which indicates whether you want that other users can see your app on phone. I mark it Hidden. Once my app is verified and is on store, I download the app from store by going to the appropriate link of app on store which is given in app profile at dev-center. I choose 'Download and Install Manually' option to download the xap. This xap can be installed on other devices without unlocking their device.
I am working on developing a Mac application that has an in app purchase. I have done this before on iOS, but I cannot get it to work with the Mac app. After doing some research it looks like I will have to get and validate a receipt from the Mac App Store before this will work.
I believe that I have followed the steps to do this correctly,
1.) Build the app in Xcode.
2.) Launch the app through finder
3.) When prompted sign in with a TestUser account created in iTunesConnect
4.) The app closes with the error message
“AppName” is damaged and can’t be opened. Delete “AppName” and download it again from the App Store.
When I open up the bundle though I do not see the _MASReceipt/receipt folder and file - and I am still getting invalid product identifiers from StoreKit.
These steps seems to work for me the last time this happened:
Log out from Mac App Store.
Force quit storeagent and softwareupdated processes.
Try double-clicking the app to start it again.
