iOS App Store keeps installing TestFlight version of app instead of App Store version

I'm having an issue with an app installation on my iPhone where it keeps installing the latest TestFlight version instead of the public App Store version. Here are the details:

  • I initially installed version 1.24 of the app via TestFlight.
  • I then uninstalled both the app and TestFlight and tried to reinstall the app from the App Store, which should be version 1.6 (the current public release).
  • Despite this, the App Store keeps installing version 1.24, which is the TestFlight version.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

  • Uninstalled both the app and TestFlight.
  • Restarted the iPhone to clear any cached data.
  • Tried offloading and reinstalling the App Store app through Settings to clear its cache.
  • Reinstalled only the App Store version, but the device still downloads the TestFlight release.

Has anyone experienced this before? Are there additional steps I can take to reset the association to the App Store version? Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
