I have no experience in publishing apps on the App Store. I have created an app from Xcode 6, archived it, validate it and submitted to iTunes Connect. While is pending for being reviewed I decided to try the new apple TestFlight functionality.
Following the tutorial video (https://itunesconnect.apple.com/downloads/Documentation/TestFlight-v09-iTC-Export-sw.mov) I have performed these steps:
Still the status for the user is not being displayed as invited and I didn't received any email invitation to test the build.
As you can see I also tried to invite my own apple id account, the status changed to invited but I didn't received any email...
In addition refreshing the page brings me back to no invitation at all for the new user:
Am I doing something wrong? I fear I am missing a step during the build submission or maybe that since the app is reviewing for the app store I cannot invite beta testers...
I have also tried to toggle again the testflight build toggle (as suggested here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/26579651/2701348) but nothing changed.
To add Internal testers: Navigate back to your app in My Apps, select the TestFlight tab and click Internal Testing on the left-hand side; Now click the (+) sign next to the header Internal Testers; Check the box next to any eligible users who have not already been invited and click Add.
Go to AppStoreConnect remove & add your account again. That will send you a new invite. Use ANY Apple ID to accept/redeem invite.
To add an internal tester, head to the Users and Access section in App Store Connect. For this example, use your own email address. If you were adding other internal testers, you'd use their email addresses and they would carry out the steps of accepting an invitation. Click the + button to add a new user.
The devices UDID need to be registered in member center and the deployment profile MUST have the UDID of the specific device to download the app build. The app may be hosted on testflight or even dropbox (Only https: is supported).
The problem with inviting an internal tester is that you cannot have an internal and external tester with the same apple ID.
Although deleted and recreated the user in user roles I still had the same problem. When I removed the duplicate email from External Testers and went back to Internal Testers, the invite was sent.
I managed to solve the issue. To make the invitations work again you must:
