After clicking "Submit for Review" in TestFlight, status is still "Ready to Submit"

Question

I'm submitting my first build for TestFlight beta review and after creating a group, adding 4 team members adding my build, unclicking the box to denote that I'll need login info to test the app, I click "submit for review."

The status at the top of iTunes Connect is still Ready to Submit.

Am I doing something wrong here or is the issue with Apple? All proper docs and Test Information has been filled out as well.

Thanks

Sat morning:

1 - many teams are reporting the problem has cleared overnight.

2 - However FWIW the status board is still indicating a problem.

Answer 1

I called Apple Developer Support, here were my issues:

1) I had a version that I'd submitted to the App Store and it was Waiting for Review 2) I was trying to submit my first build to more than just internal developers (which is what triggers Beta Review)

Once I rectified those, I was able to submit for beta review without problem.

Answer 2

Appears to be a bug on Apple's side with several cases reported. Active discussion ongoing here: https://forums.developer.apple.com/message/288574#288574

No known workarounds at this time. No ETA for fix at this time.

Bugs have been filed with Apple, support has been called.

Logging out and back in doesn't seem to help. Clearing local cache, using Safari, etc. doesn't seem to help.

UPDATE: Apple now showing issue on system status page: https://developer.apple.com/system-status/

Please logout from iTunesConnect and again login with same credential and try it again it will work for you.
