Problems Leaving the Beta Testing Program

I decided to leave the Beta program. I took the relevant steps and got an email saying I had been removed from the program.

I factory reset all my devices. I deleted the Beta Apps from my iPad, iPhone and iMac. I installed the regular Apps on my iPad, iPhone and iMac.

I managed to connect my new Sonos Era 100 and everything worked fine. BUT THEN, I tried to add the other devices, and a message popped up saying I needed to update the (non-Beta) app. I clicked on it but it wanted to instal the Beta App again!!. This was before I removed Test Flight.

I went to Test Flight and removed the Sonos Beta App. I then deleted test Flight altogether. It gave me the same message about updating the (non-Beta) app. When I clicked the button, it told me I needed to instal Test Flight. Clearly not a good idea, since this would take me back to the Beta App.

After a long discussion with the person on chat, it turns out the have to escalate the issue to the Betas team and out would rake them a day to get back to me.

So here I am stuck without my Sonos System for the next couple of days, but not sure why.

Thew transcript of the chat was painful to say the least.

I thought Sonos had fixed (most of) their bugs. Clearly there is still work to do.

 

Has anyone else had problems trying to revert to normal Sonos use?

Simple solution would be to register your system under a different email address that is not flagged for beta.

When the beta flag is removed then you can transfer the system back to your previous email address.

Maybe the beta folks could help?

If there are any here they are under the same restrictions on discussing beta issues in a public forum and likely can't help.
