Using External Users in iTunes Connect

Question

I received a message from Apple indicating that External Testers feature is now available in Itunes Connect. I followed the next steps:

• Added a new External Tester.
• I switched on the Beta Testing option, and sent to Beta App Review.
• Filled the form and sent.

When I open the Testflight app there are no builds for testing and the person who I added as External Tester didn't receive any e-mail.

Did I forget any step? Am I doing something wrong?

Answer 1

For the external beta testing, you need to pass the Beta app review. The app will be available to testflight and External testers will get mails only after your app is approved for beta testing.

Apps made available to external testers require a Beta App Review and must comply with the full App Store Review Guidelines before testing can begin. A review is required for new versions of your app that contain significant changes. Up to 10 apps can be tested at a time, internally or externally.
