Beta Testing for Alexa Skill

Hi, we are unable to enable beta testing for our Alexa skill. In the distribution page it shows the below message:

Note: The Alexa web app Interface has been deprecated. Therefore, the only supported method of enabling a beta test is through the iOS or Android Alexa mobile app.

Beta Test is not available for this skill.Your Beta Test is not available at this time. The skill must be ready for submission before beta testing can be-re-enabled.

There is no option in the Alexa app android to enable beta testing. How do we enable beta testing for the skill now please advise

You need to obtain the beta invite web link from the beta test page (there is an option to obtain it) and get the users to open that link on a mobile device which has the Alexa app installed. Some people generate a QR code from the beta invite link and Email that to the users so they can scan it on their mobile device.

It's not great but that is your only option now Amazon have deprecated the web interface.
