TestFlight does NOT use your App Store subscription. It is completely sandboxed and you have to subscribe separately. It is a test environment and you don't get charged when you subscribe.

Anna Miriamsdochter May 27, 2025

@ivory thank you for specifying that!

chris overcash May 27, 2025

@ivory Infuse requires that you have a Pro subscription in order to get into the TestFlight betas because people were basically using it to gain full app access for free and not actually test and report issues.

@covercash yeah, but that’s against app store rules https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/#:~:text=note%2C%20however%2C%20that%20apps%20using%20testflight%20cannot%20be%20distributed%20to%20testers%20in%20exchange%20for%20compensation%20of%20any%20kind

@ivory thank you very much, just installed it. I’m curious how this will work out!

@ivory Unfortunately this does not work for me. I live in the Netherlands and my account is not valid for use in the US store. Changing to the Dutch store gives an error.

Simon Harper May 27, 2025

@ivory awesome. On the TestFlight track now 🙌🏼

@ivory I’d been meaning to raise a bug about this, but this is broken for non-US App Store accounts on TestFlight btw

@tombuildsstuff I don't think that can be true because we'd get hundreds of complaints about it not working. There must be some other reason why it might not be working for you.

@ivory ok this is a ✨ fun ✨ one

@ivory I tried posting the original post and this popped up after previously pressing “post”

@tombuildsstuff What happens when you go to the subscription page in Ivory and hit the subscribe button?

@ivory gonna post this as two separate posts. Part 1.

@tombuildsstuff Will share this video with the developers, but my guess is it must be related to your system time in some way. Not sure if you have it manually set or configured differently in some way.

I see what is happening, but I really don't think it's related to being a non-US account as we have many users around the world using the testflight version without this issue. But definitely something is going on with yours.

@ivory my system time is set to not auto-switch to the current region, but it’s otherwise standard afaik

I’ve got a German App Store Account on an EN-DE locale device, currently on BST?

This happened when in Germany on CE(S)T over both WiFi and cellular too fwiw

@tombuildsstuff Unfortunately this stuff is most likely beyond our ability to troubleshoot. TestFlight is kind of a black box and it's hard to troubleshoot these kinds of issues. But definitely will pass this thread to our developers and see if it might be something simple.

@ivory yeah no stress, figured the context might be helpful - thanks as always :)

@ivory part 2

@ivory also hit this attaching those two videos to a single post (they’re long / big, I assume some size limit?)

@ivory (trying to post the videos, bear with me..)

@ivory Can use Tweetbot retro icon in Ivory?

Jun 19, 2025

@origami There should be one there now, but it might go away with iOS26.

Nisaru Aiku Jun 20, 2025

@ivory I’m talking about this one, it was my favorite Tweet icon. Reason it got my attention and I downloded that time Tweetbot, like to have this retro icon back in Ivory or something similair exactly 😄

Nisaru Aiku Jun 20, 2025

@ivory actually this retro icon made Tweetbot very famous that time and catching

Tim Johnsen May 27, 2025

@ivory oh yay, thanks for adding Raindrop support!

Michael Stanclift May 27, 2025

@ivory happy to see Raindrop, just started using that recently!

Rafa May 27, 2025

@ivory 🫡

Claude M. Schrader May 27, 2025

@ivory I’m already in your TestFlight and use the free tier of raindrop.io. Is there anything specifically you want me to bang on?

@cschrader Just want any bugs or issues reported if you run into them!

klept0 May 27, 2025

@ivory w00t

Kevin Lawver May 27, 2025

@ivory How convenient! I just switched from Pocket (RIP) to Raindrops!

James O'Gorman May 27, 2025

@kpl @ivory Very much looking forward to Raindrop support in Ivory! I switched away from Pocket some time ago and missed the ability to directly save things from Ivory.

Kevin Lawver May 27, 2025

@jamesog @ivory I tried it this afternoon and it works great!

fluffel May 27, 2025

@ivory will you be adding the Read it Later thingy from Apple, that‘s living in Safari, at some point? :)

@fluffel That's always been there as the default.

fluffel May 27, 2025

@ivory ooooh I see, so „None“ is the Apple thingy?

@fluffel Yes. That would revert to Apple's Reading List.

fluffel May 27, 2025

@ivory Thanks for clarifying :)

Asbjørn Ulsberg May 27, 2025

@ivory I joined the beta on TestFlight, but can’t test anything because it requires a subscription. I am subscribed to the regular app, but can’t restore that purchase in the TestFlight app?

@bitbear You have to subscribe in testflight. It's not the same system as the app store. And you don't get charged in Testflight.

Asbjørn Ulsberg May 27, 2025

@ivory Aha

Joe Mansfield May 27, 2025

@bitbear @ivory

Same here. I just tried to use the TestFlight version and couldn’t activate the subscription so I had to revert.

Planet-Kai

@ivory Joint the Beta now. Can’t use my subscription for ivory?

Jeff May 27, 2025

@ivory What about a way to add to the Safari Reading List? I know that's basically baked in, too, but wondering if it'd be possible to utilize the same way you'd add to Pocket or something in Ivory, but to the Safari Reading List. Would be cool.

@JPZ It should already do that if you don't select an alternate reading list.

Nicolas Hoizey May 27, 2025

@ivory do you plan to also support @wallabag ?

@nhoizey Pretty sure we looked at that at one point, but didn't add it for some specific reason. We could look at it again in the future, but not at the moment.

wallabag May 27, 2025

@ivory if you have questions, we are available. @nhoizey

Nicolas Hoizey May 27, 2025

@ivory Ok 👍

Seth of the Fediverse May 27, 2025

@ivory @nhoizey This would be awesome!

dodoalexo🇸🇰May 27, 2025

@ivory Nemáte v pláne urobiť aj aplikáciu pre Bluesky?

FreediverX May 27, 2025

@ivory
This is right up my alley since I'm a heavy user of both Ivory AND Raindrop.io. But this scare message suggests installing may overwrite all my data for the non-beta version of the app.

Anna Miriamsdochter May 27, 2025

@freediverx It worked seamlessly for me, didn’t even have to log in. (Then you do have to subscribe and trust they won’t collect on it :) )

FreediverX May 27, 2025

@venite
You're right. Worked seamlessly.

Does Raindrop appear as a read it later option for you?

Anna Miriamsdochter May 27, 2025

@freediverx it does!

Daron Brewood 🇬🇧May 27, 2025

@ivory Awesome, at long last I'm in the beta! Had a few issues with the subscription not taking (on the Mac), and had to subscribe on the iPhone.

Anders Thoresson May 27, 2025

@ivory Would it be possible for you to add a field for a custom API call for read it later? I would like a quick way to save links to my Linkding server.
