How I can I have both versions of the app installed on the same phone? 1 for testing and 1 that’s live to see current version users are using?

I had this setup before but now TestFlight installs replace the live version instead of the test version.

~~No. AFAIK this has never been possible on iOS.~~ See below.

If you have another device, you can have one on each. And remember that an Apple silicon Mac can run iOS apps.

It’s better if you a reply as a reply rather than in the comments; see Quinn’s Top Ten DevForums Tips for this and other hints.

Did you see the screenshot images by chance?

Oh, sorry, I glossed over that. Sorry.

And, yeah, that’s weird. I’m not surprised that we fixed that. Having multiple instances of an app with the same bundle ID is going to cause chaos on iOS. We support it on macOS and you end up bumping into all sorts of edge cases.
