Testflight migration

Plex Players Player Betas
1

Hello.

Is this testflight app supposed to replace the Beta app, or the app store app?

What I mean is, the buddy build installed a separate beta app, so there is 2 plex apps on my device… the beta app and the app store app.

The testflight update overwrote my app store app, while the old buddy build beta app was left intact.

What I want to confirm;

  • is this intended?
  • Are we no longer able to have both beta and release apps on the same device?
  • Can/should we go ahead and delete the buddy build app ?

I saw confirmation earlier that they have now switched to testflight for iOS. To bring it inline with tvOS I assume.

Plus buddybuild is no longer mentioned here.

ok cool, but is this intended to allow for only 1 plex app (not separate beta + app store) ?

Unless I have been missing something in tvOS it’s just the one app so I guess the same in iOS.
You do get the option to roll back several builds though.

Testflight only has the one app.

ok thanks all, it just looked confusing with both testflight and the app store updating the same app.

Yes, the Plex staff could indeed have communicated the change a whole lot better rather than just leave us all guessing …

Is anyone else having problems with the TestFlight App in iOS? I just deleted the Buddy Build, installed the TestFlight Beta (overwrote the non-beta), and now the TestFlight Beta opens and just tries to connect, but it never makes it to my server? I’ve confirmed the server is updated to the latest release, and I’m able to stream to other devices, but the TestFlight Beta shows everything offline and just spins.
I gave it the ole’ “Microsoft Reboot” and I have confirmed that the phone is online and everything else works. It’s just this one new TestFlight Beta app that won’t connect.

nope, working like a charm over here

server on 1.16.5.1488 wired on home glass-fiber connection 100/100
iOS client 6.1 build 18047 via wifi on work glass-fiber connection 100/100 (remote)

Is it possible that the app in TestFlight could be renamed to like “Plex Beta”, similar to how it was in BuddyBuild? It was nice before where they were two separate names and two separate apps and the beta didn’t interfere with the stable/main release. It was nice to have the option between the two… one for stable, one for testing.
