Bubble Mobile Build Not Showing in TestFlight
Workaround available iOS Updated October 21, 2026
Quick answer
A Bubble iOS build that never appears in TestFlight is usually waiting on App Store Connect: export compliance info, a missing Push Notifications capability, or tester group setup. Fill in compliance, enable push on the App ID, and re-add testers.
Most likely fix: Answer export compliance.
Symptoms
Bubble says the build succeeded but TestFlight shows nothing; email about missing Push Notifications capability; 'Build timed out' emails; testers see 'app not available'.
Why it happens
- Export compliance not answered in App Store Connect
- Push Notifications capability not enabled on the App ID
- Tester group not set up or invites stale
- Build timeouts during Bubble performance incidents
- No paid plan, so no live mobile version
How to fix it
Try these in order — the most common fix is first.
1. Answer export compliance
- Open App Store Connect > your app > TestFlight
- Fill in the export compliance information and save
- The build should then appear for testing
2. Enable push notifications on the App ID
- Go to Apple Developer > Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles > Identifiers
- Open your App ID and enable Push Notifications
- Rebuild in Bubble
3. Re-add testers
- Add the external group in the App Store Connect web version
- Remove and re-add testers so Apple sends fresh invites
4. Retry after timeouts
- Check status.bubble.io
- Start a new build later and file a bug report if it keeps timing out
5. Check your plan
- A paid plan is required for a live mobile version, which TestFlight and store publishing need
