Frequently Asked Questions

Why does it say: "Cannot accept this invitation because your Apple account [e-mail] is already associated with this app"?

Due to TestFlight system limitations, if you have already joined Surge's TestFlight and wish to change the linked account through the Opt-out operation, you must wait 90 days before you can rebind the account.

Can TestFlight versions be bound to App Store accounts in regions where Surge iOS is not available?

No, Apple changed TestFlight's behavior in February 2021, and you must use an Apple ID from a region where Surge is available to install the TestFlight version (i.e., not a Chinese Apple ID).

If you attempt to install in a region where it is not available, you will receive an "The requested App is not available or does not exist" error.

Is there a relationship between the Apple ID in TestFlight and license email?

The associated Apple ID is determined by the App Store account currently logged into on the iOS device that clicks on the invitation email, and it has nothing to do with the license email (i.e., the email receiving TestFlight invitations).

However, we strongly recommend binding with an Apple ID that matches your license email. Accepting an invitation with a mismatched Apple ID may lead to anomalies when unbinding later (this is an issue on Apple's server side). You can change your license email yourself before joining TestFlight.

Is the TestFlight version stable?

The goal of TestFlight versions is to test new features. They have a high update frequency but may be less stable. Please provide feedback if you encounter any issues. Severe problems are generally fixed within one to two days. TestFlight also allows you to revert to a previous version if you encounter severe issues.

What if I don't receive the TestFlight invitation email?

Invitation emails are sent by Apple's servers, and some email accounts may have difficulty receiving them. Please check your spam folder first, opt-out and rejoin to resend, or change the license email to another email address to receive the invitation.

How do I change the bound Apple ID? (Or if operation errors cause the invitation code to become invalid)

You can opt-out in the management page mentioned above, and then rejoin.
