iTunesConnect beta testing

I am trying to use the new iTunesConnect beta testing. I am trying to invite a user to test however he already has an iTunes Developer account and it won't let me invite him because it of this:

The email address you entered already belongs to an iTunes Connect account. To continue, enter a different email address.

I searched around but found no solution. What are my options in this case?

Thanks.

My approach is simple:

  • All client Apple Ids as internal testers (if possible).
  • All my company Ids assigned as external testers in client's account. It's not so problematic task when you maintain CSV in format John,Appleseed,[email protected] that you can import in iTunes Connect:

enter image description here

It also kind of makes sense, that you need to fill a "what should testers test" form for external users (my company's testers), because client in most cases knows what should be tested - unlike my testers, who needs to be notified somehow what is the status of the build and what should be tested.

You can also send them the build (.ipa file) of your app and they can re-code sign the app with their developer certificate (see image). They can then install it on their devices or put it on the iOS simulator.

Here is the (re)code sign terminal command:

#! /bin/bash
export CODESIGN_ALLOCATE=/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform /Developer/usr/bin/codesign_allocate
codesign -f -s "iPhone Developer" $1.app

Currently you can only invite internal testers beta testing through Apples beta testing system. The definition of an internal tester is someone who is actually in your iTunes Connect team. An email address can only be associated with one iTunes Connect team and because your tester already belongs to another team they can't be added to yours.

You can always do an AdHoc build for them just the same as you would have done before the Apple beta testing system came online. Provision their device, archive and build an ipa and then upload it to TestFlight.
