No TestFlight invite email gets sent for internal users

Question

I set up my application for TestFlight. For external users it is waiting for review. But if I want to invite internal users, I select them and press invite. iTunes Connects says

Answer 1

This seems obvious, but I didn't see a main reply with this solution. Make sure your app is in "Beta" status (already through Beta review by Apple). If it is still in Prerelease status but has no beta, external users will never get in invitation email.

Answer 2

This happened to me as well. In the end I just turned off beta testing for the build, re-enabled and re-invited the internal testers, email came through the second time around.

Answer 3

This is an issue with TestFlight. As a workaround,

1. Remove the existing testers
2. Save
3. Add them again

:)

Answer 4

Please do not check/uncheck the Internal Tester status - sending another invite to these guys is a PAIN!

I simply incremented my build from 1.0 to 1.0.1 and submitted the app. The key is - to see if the APP is available right away as 'Active', then great! Else, if its sitting in the 'Processing' section of iTunes Connect (like a Fumb Duck), no use trying to revive that.

So, as soon as you find your app in the Processing Section - wait for about an hour, watch another episode of House of Cards 2.0 (3.0 is boring).. then..

1. Increment Build - add an 0.1 to the current one
2. Validate - dont forget to validate (I validated 3 times, just to be ultra sure)
3. Submit
4. Add Beta Information and Ta Da!

Cheers!

Answer 5

Since the very recent new update to iTunes Connect, there is a prominent “Resend Invitation” button on all internal users who have not yet redeemed their invitation.

Answer 6

I have had the same issue. 3 accounts altogether (1 mine, 2 others) initially, mine worked and both of the others. When I tried to update, only one worked. Since the only similarities with the other 2 was that they were GMAIL accounts, so I added one of my apps (to my phone, and I had to log onto test flight using it) - all seems to be working. I was told the Google spam filter was filtering these out and I couldn't figure out how to allow them through.
