Spaceship::UnexpectedResponse: [!] Missing required information to submit for external testing - Missing requied data - testflight

Question

I'm facing this issue, while running fastlane pilot command in terminal. How should i use this " beta_app_review_info" as a parameter? what value need's to be added?
Here's the command i've tried to run but getting failed with "beta_app_review_info' value must be a Hash! Found String instead."
fastlane pilot upload --username="XXX#gmail.com" --verbose --changelog "$(cat changelog1.txt)" --distribute_external true --groups="Users" --ipa="build/Release-iphoneos/some.ipa" --beta_app_review_info “contact_email: "XXXXX#gmail.com",contact_first_name: "test",contact_last_name: "user",contact_phone: "XXXXXX",demo_account_name: "testuser#gmail.com",demo_account_password: "XXXX"
looks like beta_app_review_info is not included as parameter in Fastlane pilot. Can someone help me to sort out this issue?

Had the same issue. Probably, AppStore start to require extra meta data. Adding beta_app_review_info did fix the problem.
Sample:
upload_to_testflight(
beta_app_review_info: {
contact_email: "email#email.com",
contact_first_name: "Connect",
contact_last_name: "API",
contact_phone: "5558675309",
demo_account_name: "demo#email.com",
demo_account_password: "connectapi",
notes: "this is review note for the reviewer <3 thank you for reviewing"
},
localized_app_info: {
"default": {
feedback_email: "default#email.com",
marketing_url: "https://example.com/marketing-defafult",
privacy_policy_url: "https://example.com/privacy-defafult",
description: "Default description",
},
"en-GB": {
feedback_email: "en-gb#email.com",
marketing_url: "https://example.com/marketing-en-gb",
privacy_policy_url: "https://example.com/privacy-en-gb",
description: "en-gb description",
}
},
localized_build_info: {
"default": {
whats_new: "Default changelog",
},
"en-GB": {
whats_new: "en-gb changelog",
}
}
)
