Hello!

So i agreed to test a couple of apps from a developer now one in particular is onesafe pix. The new app is pretty good !

Now at the start I recall the beta app over wrote the actual (older) app which is fine but I seem to have become stuck! (Sort of)

So I noticed last night the test flight beta had expired and I've learnt that once it expires you cannot launch the app at all, in fact it would force close immediately. I thought that by downloading and installing the older version I could at least get to my data, how wrong was I! It replaced the new version completely and failed to load my data.

Now I had a manual backup dated Christmas Eve, iCloud had one pix enabled so I thought no problem I'll just reinstall the test flight version and it will pick up the backup.. Wrong! Well kind of, I couldn't reload the beta app as now the button was greyed out where it would normally say update. So there I am with an old version of one pix and no data on it (yet). So I long onto iCloud to see a one safe back folder and in it was my password app backup data. That's great but doesn't help me now!

I go into the one pix folder to find it empty!! I thought there'd been an updated to fix such behaviour!

I'm unable to verify that there is even a backup I can use!

For the time being I've restored a backup just to keep me able to add pics etc if I want to.

So am I the only one to have a beta app expire in test flight and fail to launch?

Have I any chance of getting a backup of pix in the iCloud folder despite it claiming to be empty?

Why can we not just install the most recent version ? I'm stuck to a point where we cannot simply wait for an update with one password.
