Enrolled in beta but "not authorized to test this app"

Keither — Sat, 12 Aug 2023 01:22:32 GMT

I signed up for the watch os beta but I am unable to access it as I get the message "You are not authorized to test this app or the test period has expired."

Anyone know what next steps should be? I'm not seeing any similar posts.

If you just signed up, give it an hour or two and try again.

Make sure to go to the beta manager then to watch settings scroll down and see software updates the update the watch and then install the apps. If this comment helped make sure to accept this as a solution so other members know this issue is already solved!

I was having the same issue and finally after days, figuring out I had clicked the panel at the top of the Members app for the Watch 4 beta when I have a watch 5 pro. Went to the watch 5 page and then I was able to sign up, download etc successfully without that error. Hope this helps

So I think I just needed to wait as it started working 30 minutes or so later. Anyone else having this just make sure you don't have any pending watch updates and give it some time and hopefully it'll work like it did for me.

I'm surprised that it worked at all considering how far along the beta is. We're in like the 4th release

I'm also having this problem. I've waited two days, but still not authorized.

I had the same issue. All I did was go back into my wearable app go down to software update for the watch and update the watch from there. That's what worked for me. The new update was the beta update.
