Inquiry Regarding Data Migration Using Quick Start

I am currently developing an iOS app with a new feature that utilizes Quick Start for data migration between devices. We are testing this in a test environment using an app distributed via TestFlight.

However, we are encountering an issue where the app installed on the pre-migration device (distributed via TestFlight) does not transfer to the post-migration device. Could this issue be related to the fact that the app was distributed via TestFlight? Is there any restriction where only apps released via the App Store can be migrated using Quick Start?

We would appreciate it if you could provide some insights into the cause of this issue and any alternative testing methods.

I’ve not looked at this specifically but it does seems likely that TestFlight is involved. My experience is that Quick Start migration generally performs well. I occasionally see questions about it, but those are all related to credentials — that is keychain items — rather than the data in the app container.
