How to add to iTunes Connect users, when phone number is Apple Id

One of our testers have their phone number as their Apple Id instead of an Email Id. This person doesn't have an Email Id signed in his phone.

But when I go to Add App Store Connect User, there's only a field to enter Email Id? Does he have to sign out and create an Apple Id with an Email Id?

I need to add this person to TestFlight.

You can invite a TestFlight user using any email they have access to. You don't need to invite them using their Apple ID email.

The invitation email will contain a code that they redeem using the TestFlight app. Once they redeem the code it is linked to the Apple ID that is currently logged in to the App Store on their device.

If your tester doesn't have access to any email at all then you can send the invitation to an email you have access to and then get the redemption code to them some other way; text message, owl post etc.

To add an external tester without adding them as an AppStore Connect user:

  1. Go to "Test Flight" in App Store Connect
  2. Create a new group by selecting "New Group"on the left
  3. Select your new group and then tap "+" to add a tester.
  4. Enter their name and email address

To allow an external tester to test your app you will need to submit it for beta review;

  1. Select your build in Test Flight
  2. Add your group or individual tester
  3. Submit for review and wait for approval (typically less than a day or so)

Subsequent builds in the same version don't need to go through review, but subsequent versions will.
