TestFlight - How to submit for Beta App Review

Question

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.....

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.

Answer 1

I was running into this problem; my app accesses HealthKit, and I had to provide a privacy policy URL in the 'Test Information' section (available in the sidebar). I had previously added the privacy policy URL on the main description page, but I would just see the spinner when I hit 'Submit for Review' (for TestFlight) until I added the URL to the 'Test Information' section.

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

I have the exact same issue as well. It looks like Apple has broke somthing when updating iTunes Connect. If you open the developer tools in google chrome and bring up Console you get the below error:

And before anyone says anything the Feedback Email section on testflight information is a correct Email address.

Answer 4

You're doing it correctly. It's just a matter of adding external testers to the build and clicking that "Next" button. Try a different browser.
