This information is only for beta app review, and is different from the app review contact information you submitted to the App Store.
Adding and inviting External testers you can invite 2000 external user places. You usually need to give each user an email address and their name. Your app must be review through the Beta app before inviting external testers to test. This build only has a 60-day available period after the invitation is issued.

If you do not provide the test information, you will need to provide your build to wait for the Beta app to review. Until at least one build has been audited, this version will be displayed as not Available for testing.
Once your build has been reviewed, you will have the option to add an external tester to participate in the test.
The status of build is programmed testing and displays the available term. The external tester will receive the invitation letter.
60 days after expiration in order to continue the test, you need to upload another build. When a new version is uploaded, the internal tester automatically receives the message. In order to publish the version of the letter to an external tester, you will need to submit this version again for review. Once approved, you can select a new build and click Start Test to get a new build.
For more information on managing external testers, read managing external testers and organizing external testers into Gro Ups.
Only the first version will require full review, and the subsequent build version does not require full review.
Submitting the app to Bata app review is not the final submission to the App Store. (this means, as shown in the diagram below, that this effect can be achieved by selecting manual release)
The final note: the difference between internal and external testing is that the internal drive has a limit of 25 people and requires an Apple ID to register a mailbox that can reach 2000 external and does not enforce a mailbox that requires an Apple ID registration, but the version must be approved by Apple. It takes a while to wait, this is not recommended in the case of urgent projects, 25 test equipment can basically meet the requirements.
