When I tried to activate a build of my app for Test Flight usage, I got asked this question:
Is your app designed to use cryptography or does it contain or incorporate cryptography? (Select Yes even if your app is only utilizing the encryption available in iOS or OS X.)
In my app, I'm sending API calls over HTTPS to my remote server so users can make friends, chat, authenticate, etc.
Does this count? I'm kind of confused why they're asking this now AND only for Test Flight.

Since beta testing is also a form of international distribution – especially if you are sharing your app with international users by e-mail – Apple wants to know about the encryption status of your app beforehand. The initial process was to specify the Export Compliance Information also by answering the above questions.
If you app only makes calls to HTTPS, no documentation required in App Store Connect. But you must submit a Self Classification Report to the U.S. Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) directly.

Read the key again: App uses non-exempt encryption … does it use an encryption that is not exempt from the export restriction? The correct answers is FALSE.
You can select NO as using HTTPS is now exempt from the Exporter Registration and Reporting (ERN) as of late September, 2016: https://stackoverflow.com/a/40919650/4976373
