Issue Description

I am able to upload the iPad file to test flight without issues. The groups I mention gets notified.
Now, when I again want to just add test groups to the same build, it tries to upload and fails. Is there a way to only add test groups and not upload everytime?

Initial command to upload :
pilot(groups:groupslist, changelog:options[:changelog], distribute_external: true)

Command to add groups:
pilot(groups:"testgroup")

Sorry I don't think that's possible right now, however you might be able to build this yourself using spaceship, which is part of fastlane, where you're gonna have full control over what's happening 👍
