How to: Configure an App for Testflight

Once an app has been uploaded to Testflight, you must configure the app for testing for external groups. People can test the app without having to connect their device to a computer with the use of Testflight.

To configure and submit an app for Testflight:

Important

To test the app outside your iTunes Connect Users - you must submit the app for review. It's recommended you test the app internally before submitting for review to avoid rejection.

Click on My Apps
Click on the relevant app entry
Click on Activity tab. This will indicate when & whether the app was successfully upload AND finished processing
Since the app has been processed by Apple click on Testflight
You will notice a Green and Yellow dot under two columns.
1. iTunes Connect Users: are able to test the app immediately upon completion of processing
2. External Users: are able to test the app immediately after a successful review from Apple
(optional) Click New Group + to create a new group if you don't have an external group already
Click on your External Group. In this instance, the external group is simply called 'External Testers'. You can call this whatever you want.
