TestFlight - How to submit for Beta App Review

pbm picture pbm · Apr 20, 2017 · Viewed 14.7k times · Source

I'm new to TestFlight. I'm setting up beta testing of my new App for external testers. I'm following various guides such as this. I've uploaded a build and set up external testers. When trying to select a build for testing I'm warned "before your build can be tested, it may have to be approved by Beta App Review".

Fair enough.

When I select the "Next" button a spinning wheel appears and nothing ever seems to happen again. Attached is a screenshot (the screen background is greyed out but you can read it). I've waited, and waited, and waited.....

enter image description here

Refreshing the browser doesn't help. There is no feedback from iTunes connect. Shall I just stare at my screen for 1 to 2 days hoping eventually the beta review will happen and the spinning wheel will stop? I think not.

So my question - how do I submit a build for Beta App Review? I see no button anywhere or explanation of the process.

I had this problem and worked around it by adding the build to a tester group (under that groups tab) instead of adding testers, or a group of testers to the build.
