iTunes connect spamming error emails to users

Every time we upload an app with an issue (missing entitlement, privacy string missing from the project's .plist), iTunes connect emails the error to every single one of the tester emails in our list, even if they're not registered to test for the application I am uploading.

Currently I am the only person in the list for this application, and yet it's sending the email to everyone testing an unrelated app.

How do I turn this ridiculous behavior off and stop annoying them?

This is not a bug. It is a 'feature' of PEBKAB.

The issue was another developer had quietly added the users to itunes connect as internal testers on a separate project. They had all been given a 'developer' role, and when I created the app, they were automatically put on the developer email list for that one, too.

A quick diddle of the users and roles table fixed it all up, no trip to Apple Support required.

Unfortunately this is just how iTunes Connect works. I have reached Apple complaining about this, their answer was that I should use External TestFlight distributions.

Honestly I really recommend you to use other beta distribution platform like beta by Fabric, the build process is using ad-hoc builds, in our team we use beta by Fabric for small builds then once we are almost ready to push to the AppStore we run a small test by using the final build in TestFlight.

I'm not saying Testflight External distributions are bad but is not the right tool for a daily workflow some times you can't afford waste 3 to 6 hours waiting for apple to approve your new build.
