Private preview link after a version has been published

[AJoe]

Hello,

Once an app has been published, how can i send a new version for review to specific people with a private link ? Any new version seems to be accessible only after review/publish. I tried creating a second app in the app gallery manager and to upload the new FBA but it tells me that the app id is duplicate. I saw a way to modify the appid but that would mean duplicating the app as well in the studio. 

I guess i must be overlooking a simple option to let specific people review a new version before publishing it. Any ideas ?

Thanks

I end up creating a main and beta version. I then keep track of the uuid for each and change it based on where I'm releasing it.

@Cmspooner do you mean that you duplicate your project in the  Gallery App Manager but keep only one in Fitbit Studio ? You then edit manually package.json to change it to either UUID ?

Yes. I actually just keep two copies of package.json and add .beta or .main to the end of the file name of the one I'm not using.

I like the workaround. Now if Fitbit could provide the option of uploading a new version without asking for a review that would be great
