I opened a support ticket to find out why my builds were not appearing in TestFlight or the Distribution tabs, and after a few days, a support engineer responded. My application included an extension widget. I had inadvertently used an incorrect bundle identifier key (EXExtensionPointIdentifier) instead of NSExtensionPointIdentifier. This caused my upload to fail "plist validations". It appears those validations silently fail. Once I fixed the identifier key and uploaded a new build, all my builds appeared in the list; but now I have 3 or 4 builds sitting in "Pending" status. So for future readers, in case you upload a build and it never appears, maybe randomly check things like plist keys.
