External Testing is missing from App Store Connect

Question

I'm trying to send my app to External TestFlight testers. All the tutorials mention that I should be able to add external testers via an External Testing tab on the left hand side. I don't see this option.

I tried filling in all the details in "Test Information" but I still don't see the section.

How do I see the External Testers section for my app?

Answer 1

I resolved this by creating an Internal Testing group first. After doing this, I was able to see the plus sign near the External Testing header on the left hand side.

Note: There's also a chance that I didn't need to create this group, and simply waiting 15-30 minutes caused it to appear.
