The same thing happened to me and I never signed up for android. I got the test flight email afterwards.
Wait a few minutes. I got the same thing then I got the testflight email.
I'm pretty sure the test flight link is user specific. You'll get one soon.

ah cool, thx guys. just got super confused by their bad initial email. will wait for a TestFlight one.

Glad to know that signing up for iOS and getting the Android email was a mistake that will get fixed. So excited to be able to test this!

Just got the app downloaded on iOS! Excited to get home from work to try it out. Definitely missed that this only includes Master Chief collection though lol, but apparently that was Apple's doing and out of Msoft's hands?

Microsoft got their streaming service running on iOS when it was in Beta and Google still hasn't gotten Stadia running on their own suite of phones.

Tried a few minutes of MCC. Loaded up CE. There definitely was some perceptible input lag, but overall it feels pretty good and visually looks great.

So I signed up, got the "you've been accepted" email, clicked "click here to download the iOS testflight" and all it does is redirect me to the xCloud homepage. Am I doing something wrong?

I received the weird email that was an iOS invitation that turned into an android one, and shortly after, I received a TestFlight email link that allowed me to download the app and gave me a code to gain access to xCloud. I guess the restrictions are in place because you have to go through Apple's own beta testing client

Same here, but I checked out Halo 4. Looked great, but a bit of lag and and framerate had a tiny bit of judder at times... This was my first streaming experience and I'm actually pretty impressed.

I was in a Teams meeting at the time so I havn't got a chance to really play yet much but here are some quick shots of H2A.

I think it works pretty well. Actually pretty responsive for me.

Wow, I actually got in. Surprised! Feel like I never get these things haha

Edit: Or not based on posts above. Got the accepted email but yeah the link just sends you to the website.

Got my acceptance email already. The process is a little weird - I got an email direct from Microsoft saying I was accepted, but the instructions in the email were for Android. Then a little after that I got another email from "TestFlight", telling me I needed to download the TestFlight app, and then redeem a code within the app to get the xCloud for iOS app.

I did it and it works - just took me a few minutes to sort it out.

This works really well. The game has really high graphical fidelity, the input lag is low. I had no issues in campaign with the input lag, but I was definitely at a disadvantage in competitive multiplayer. I will definitely be sitting in my bed tonight streaming some Halo campaign.

Got my testflight email installed the app and everything. But my Series 2 controller won't even up on the bluetooth devices list when I try to connect it.

Edit: oh I guess the series 2 doesn't work on iphones yet.

Finally got my testflight email and jumped right in. Paired my xbox controller no problem. And.... this works! Really really well in fact. Makes me wish I had an iPad lol. I'm using my iPhone 11 Pro Max though and it's awesome. Just ordered the recommended controller/phone clip thing for best buy in store pickup today.

Followed the instructions and still doesn't work.

Same here. Disabled cross tracking and blocking of cookies, nothing working here. Just reloads the page to sign in or register no matter what I do.

Tried on iPhone, iPad, laptop with Chrome and one my Xbox, all just refreshes the page to sign in or register no matter what.

Signed up at about 11 today and just signed in. Used a Dual Shock 4 on my iPhone 11 and it works surprisingly well. Will be curious to try it on my iPad tonight.

Too bad the series 2 elite doesn't work with iOS yet, I was hoping to give it a shot while I'm at work.

Hmm switched mine from Android to IOS like 2 hours ago and haven't gotten anything yet. Here's hoping though.

Same here - that's the only Bluetooth one I have. Hopefully that gets sorted out soon.

Submitted Feedback saying that. Guess that's worthwhile to hopefully make that happen.
