Turn on Testflight beta testing in iTunes Connect stopped working - app-store-connect

In iTunes Connect there is a button "TestFlight Beta Testing" in order to do just that.
I have a binary uploaded and ready. A few users are selected for testing.
This time, that button just does nothing. After tapping it, it goes green. But no invitation emails are ever sent out. If I reload the page, that button is unchecked/white. Bug or did I miss something?
Update: it seems to be working again. Nothing to see. Move on.

I'm also having problems sending out invites.
Seems to be an issue on Apple's end - TestFlight is experiencing problems: https://developer.apple.com/system-status/

During last days it doesn't work for me. Like an author I push the button but any mails don't send.

SwiftUI navigationLink not working after dismissing destination from the stack

I haven't noticed this before, so it may be a bug with the new release.
When I click on a NavigationLink, everything works as expected. Then I can click the back button (which I have done with the default back button as well as a custom back button) and it still works. If I try to click the same NavigationLink again, it does not trigger the destination. I can click on a different NavigationLink, and it will work, and when I go back the first link is functional again. Only the last link is unavailable.
This seems to be the case in lists, forms, and free navigation links.
Has anyone encountered this functionality? Is there a fix for it?
Working on Xcode Version 11.3 (11C29)
Thank you for your help.
After a lot of searching and testing, this appears to be a bug specific to the simulator in the new release. When running the app on my phone it works perfectly. Hopefully it is fixed soon, but for now I can run testing on the phone.

iTune Connect analytics - The URL is invalid

Last several days when trying to enter iTunes connect analytics it says error message:
The URL is invalid.
I'am using chrome of version 66.0.3359.139. same happened using safari of version 11.1
Have any ideas about the error message?
I've seen this before and it usually goes away if you refresh the page but this time around it seems to be a problem at Apple that's been going on since the end of April:
https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/101755
There are a couple of tips in that thread which are helpful, such as clicking OK then pressing esc to prevent the redirect away from the page which allows you to interact with it.
This issue is highly being discussed in Apple forums.developer.apple.com/
And the solution that works is:
You can work around it in Google Chrome by inspecting the webpage and deleting the modal window from the DOM Tree. This allows you to interact with the page again, reading stats or clicking towards an other page.
clicking OK then pressing esc as John mentioned works as well!

Can't login to ITunes Connect

Can't login to ITunes Connect since yesterday, after inputting my username and password and hitting the login button, it displays blank page on chrome and safari.
Anyone having the same problem?
Thanks
Yes, I had the same problem too. It resolves itself after some time. For me it took a minute but it may last longer. In the past days Apple had huge problems with iTunes, iTunesConnect and the AppStores.
On the blank screen try to guess where a button is and click on it. That might resolve it (thats what helped me).
Hope it helps :)

Will iRate automatically stop soliciting reviews after the user accepted?

I am about to post my first app with irate, and I was wondering out of curiosity will it stop the pop up message by itself if the user rates it or is there some kind of special code that I need to put. Please answer only if you dealt with iRate for iPhone apps.
https://github.com/nicklockwood/iRate
iRate pop up is only displayed once. If you will press the "Remind me later" button, it will appear again, but otherwise the user won't see it a second time.
I have used iRate and this how it works.
If user rates a version then the Rate the App message will not be shown for that particular version. Suppose a new update comes, then the Rate message will start showing again.

Crash Reports not being sent to Apple

I currently have an App that is on the Mac App Store that a couple people have reported instability with. I was able to reproduce the crashes and fix the problem, but what concerned me is that I have no Crash Reports listed for the App in iTunes Connect. When reproducing the crashes myself I did not get the standard crash report dialog asking if I wanted to send the crash report. In Console I do get:
6/22/11 9:05:25 AM ReportCrash[1902] Saved crash report for Application [1893] version 1.0 (1.0) to /Users/Name/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports/Application_2011-06-22-090525_MacBook-Pro-4-Lyfe.crash
From what I could find on line the crash reporting should be automatic and you should only have to worry about implementing custom crash reporting if you want the reports sent directly to you.
My question is, why are crashes for my App not being sent back in to Apple and then ultimately showing up for me in iTunes Connect? My app is a menu bar item and does not have a full set of menus or dock icon if it matters at all.
Kris,
You do not get all the crash reports on iTunesConnect.
This is how it works:
Lets say you are an iPhone user, when you first activate your iPhone, it asks you if you'd like to send anonymous reports to apple, if you checkmark yes, only then the crash reports from your phone would be sent to apple.
Another thing to keep in mind is, even if a person has checkmarked this option, these reports would be sent, only when the user syncs his iOS device with the iTunes.
So essentially, the answer is
You cannot rely on iTunesConnect to get your app's crash
reports
Instead you should use a third party solution, like: Hoptoad:

I am very sure that there are other solutions like hoptoad as well, but this is what I have used and works very well.
