How do I get a request code for TestFlight?

You should find an email with the subject line “Welcome New iTunes Connect User“ in your mailbox. All you have to do is click “activate your account“, once this is done, the tech developer will be able to send you a TestFlight invitation.

What happens when TestFlight app expired?

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.

How do I link an app to TestFlight?

Simply go to your app's TestFlight page, click an existing group, and click Enable Public Link. You can then copy the link and share it on social media, messaging platforms, email campaigns, and more. Remember not to localize the TestFlight name or create TestFlight badges to promote your app.

In my case, my app has been removed from Appstore a few years ago. When I upgraded the code and tried to send it to Testflight, this happened. THE SOLUTION IS, make necessary changes in the app and release it into the Appstore again. when your app is successfully Launched, Your Testflight will be automatically restored. When the app is removed from the store and is still "Not in sale", this happens. Release the app and everything will be fine. If this does not work, contact apple support.

Apple told me, that the problem is, that my app is currently in the state: Removed from Sale. I have to submit a new app build into review, to enable TestFlight builds again.

We rebuilt our app and actually have it approved for sale - “ready for developer release” but still getting the same TestFlight error. Submitted a ticket to Apple and waiting on a response.

Update: had to release the app for sale for a few minutes and then remove from sale. That fixed the TestFlight problem. Not ideal but at least we can use TestFlight again

I did not submit my app, however it had a status of "Approved" next to a yellow icon on the TestFlight tab. The external testers that used the link were getting the error "The requested app is not available or doesn't exist.”

When I tried to add a tester by using an email address, there was a message saying "no builds available".

I solved the issue by clicking "notify testers" at which point the yellow icon changed to a green one and testers were able to install the app using the link.

Not sure if this is the "great user experience" Apple asks for in their app guidelines.
