I'm using the prerelease tool in iTunesConnect where you can distribute the app to a group of testers. It seems though that after some days the app crashes immediately after start (just after the splash screen shown). No error logs.

I'm wondering if this has to do with the 30days expiration that all TestFlight apps seems to have, or maybe it's something in my code that causing it?

You're absolutely right, Toydor!

After the 30-days-period expired, your test won't be able download or run your app. I didn't find a way to extend this period. You only can upload an updated version to get another 30 days.
