You can only have one version of an asset pack in TestFlight App Review at a time. Once that version is approved, you can submit additional versions of that asset pack for external testing.

Make sure to submit a build before submitting the latest versions of any asset packs needed for testing.

If Apple approves your asset pack version for TestFlight, users on the App Store Connect account with the Admin role will receive an email notifying them of the approval. TestFlight will automatically use the new version for external testing once you've invited testers and have a build available for testing. Any previous versions of the asset pack will be replaced with the new version.

If Apple rejects your asset pack version, its status will be Rejected. You can click App Review from the sidebar under General on the Distribution tab to view the rejection details for your asset pack.

If you want to remove an asset pack and its associated versions from App Store Connect, or are close to reaching asset pack size limits and want to make additional space available, you can archive the asset pack.

Archiving an asset pack removes all versions of that asset pack, including those being tested in TestFlight and live on the App Store. Archived asset packs can’t be restored, and the associated asset pack IDs can’t be reused.

You can’t archive asset packs that have a version with any of the following statuses:

Asset packs can’t be archived when the app they are associated with is in the process of being transferred to another account.
