I set up a build and add two Internal Testers. Immediately after pressing the "Invite" button I noticed that the checkbox next to my email address was the only one that remained checked. The checkbox next to the second tester was unchecked. So I clicked the checkbox and sent another invite, but the same thing happened. I thought nothing of it, figuring it would become checked when he actually installed and tested the app. But he says he never received an invite. Does anyone know if I'm doing anything wrong?

The redeem code is sent by mail when you add an external or internal new tester in TestFlight. When you open your app in App Store Connect, go to "My Apps" and select your app. Then go to the "TestFlight" section, complete the "Information" section, and then add external testers as needed and the build to test.
Waiting for review means that apple team will review your app before allowing you to submit on TestFlight for public testing. It will take around 24~48 hours for them to review your app. After if your app is approved, you can submit on TestFlight and create public link for anyone with the link as tester.
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.
Check your External Testers list.
You can't have same email/tester exists in both Internal and External testers at the same time.
And, sometimes it does take a while to receive tester emails from Apple.

Just some minor observations that may help, (Nov 2015)
(*) after turning on internal testing, and/or adding an internal tester, it does take some time for that person to get the crazy "CompanyName has invited you to test AppName" email --- maybe an hour. This is ridiculous, but that seems to be how it is
(*) indeed note that there is a ridiculous "CompanyName has invited you to test AppName" email. Again this is for INTERNAL testing. you'd think that after you click internal testing, the app would of course just pop-up inside TestFlight. But no. nothing happens until the person (often yourself!) gets that email and confirms in the email
(*) that person (even yourself) has to use the hilarious Redeem Code feature, before it finally appears in TestFlight. Again this is just for the internal testing
What a mess!
