iTunes Connect users Testflight broken?

Question

I am trying to invite testers to my iOS app through iTunes Connect, but when they receive an invitation, nothing is working.. Seen the screenshot below:

That is what happens when clicking the link from the iTunes Connect new user e-mail:

Welcome to iTunes Connect. You have successfully created an iTunes Connect account for [email protected]. To complete the process, activate your account using the password already associated with this Apple ID.

If you have any questions about this email, please use Contact Us.

Am I doing something wrong?

Answer 1

The problem seems to be that a script in the page is referring to a non-public hostname idmsauth-stable.corp.apple.com. I was able to workaround this issue by manually modifying the script in Chrome Developer Tools and re-executing the code in the Developer Console.

1) Open the activation URL in Chrome

2) Open Chrome Developer Tools (Cmd-Alt-I on OS X, Ctrl-Shift-I on Windows)

3) Go to the Sources tab

4) Find main.js (itunesconnect.apple.com/itc/static-resources/main.js)

5) Modify line 20 to replace "idmsauth-stable.corp.apple.com" with "idmsa.apple.com"

6) Select the contents of the main.js file and copy to the clipboard

7) Paste into the console (you may need to tap the ">_" button to make it visible)

8) Press "Enter"

You should now see the expected iTunes Connect spinner appear and eventually you'll see a Terms and Conditions window.
