My MAUI app is working superb domestically however when importing to and testing with TestFlight, the app crashes with no helpful data in any respect and I don’t know what might be the case.

I’m making an attempt to get a Launch construct however then I can not even set up it domestically on my iPhone as a result of it makes use of an App-store provisional profile. If I attempt to drive it to signal with a improvement provisional profile (MAUI Take a look at App(Dev distro)), the construct fails with this error:

No iOS signing identities match the desired provisioning profile ‘MAUI Take a look at App(Dev distro)’

The identical construct command would work if I construct with Debug configuration as a substitute. Please advise on how I ought to proceed.

Additionally here is the crash log I obtained from TestFlight and I couldn’t get any helpful data from it. The app crashes instantly after begin, not even the splash display reveals up.
