TestFlight public link doesn't accept new beta testers

Question

I created a public link for a group of testers but the link shows: "This beta isn't accepting any new testers right now."

The build has been approved and I set the limit to 10 testers.

Why is the public link not accepting new beta testers?

Answer 1

Well, after writing this, I decided to check the build state and I noticed that the build was missing a step:

After notifying the testers, the link now accepts new testers. The link shows: "To join the Mealcard beta, tap the link on your iPhone or iPad after you install TestFlight."

Answer 2

If it says that, it may mean that the app you are trying to install dont want anymore poeple 'testing' their app. or it could mean the link has expired

Answer 3

Well, in my case you have to set the run destination to Any IOS Device (arm64) and make a new archive file from Xcode. I forgot to change this option in my case. Then you should upload the new archive file to the Apple developer console.

Note: You should update the build number for the new archive file.

Answer 4

If, like I found, you're finding clicking "Notify Testers" still doesn't work as outlined in Ricardo's post, give it 10 minutes to propagate across Apple's networks.
