Install old version via TestFlight

For internal testing we want to install an old version on a device of someone who's UDID is not in the list. Via TestFlight I can add the email of this person in order for him to download the newest version (via internal testing), but I was wondering if it would be possible to enable him to download and install a specific old version?

I've seen this page: how to install previous version on TestFlight but it is rather old and the suggestions are incorrect.

Can I upload lower version to TestFlight?

Show activity on this post. If you upload your builds to TestFlight, you can install older builds for testing. When you open the TestFlight app, you'll see the most recent version and a link to other versions. You can install any available version, but only one version at a time can be installed on a single device.

How do you check previous builds on TestFlight?

TestFlight for tvOSSelect View Previous Builds or, if you're using Xcode Cloud, click Versions and Build Groups. Click the Versions tab or the Build Groups tab, then select and install the build you want to test.

What happens when TestFlight app expired?

TestFlight will tell you how many days until your current version expires. Once expired, you won't be able to use the Register app until you update to newer early access version or revert to the regular version of the Register app. To update to a newer early access version, open TestFlight and select Update.

I found a workaround to test older builds with TestFlight. You can just use the link provided in the email you received when you uploaded the older build for testing. You will see something like this.

To test this app, open TestFlight on your iOS device using iOS 8.0 or later and install the update.

Tap on "TestFlight" in the above line. This will open TestFlight with a link to the older build. And you can install it if it hasn't yet expired.

Hope this helps!

Update

As of April 11, 2017, TestFlight now supports multiple builds. https://developer.apple.com/testflight/release-notes/

You can navigate to the Previous Builds section of the app in TestFlight and get access to builds which are up to 90 days old.
