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. 1. Answer export compliance

    1. Open App Store Connect > your app > TestFlight
    2. Fill in the export compliance information and save
    3. The build should then appear for testing
  2. 2. Enable push notifications on the App ID

    1. Go to Apple Developer > Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles > Identifiers
    2. Open your App ID and enable Push Notifications
    3. Rebuild in Bubble
  3. 3. Re-add testers

    1. Add the external group in the App Store Connect web version
    2. Remove and re-add testers so Apple sends fresh invites
  4. 4. Retry after timeouts

    1. Check status.bubble.io
    2. Start a new build later and file a bug report if it keeps timing out
  5. 5. Check your plan

    1. A paid plan is required for a live mobile version, which TestFlight and store publishing need
