Setting up the App Store Connect connector

After installing the application, you will find it in your project Integrations section.

To connect your App Store Connect account, generate a team API key in App Store Connect (Users and Access > Integrations > App Store Connect API > Team Keys) and download its private key (a .p8 file). Then fill in the login form in the app:

• Key Contents: Open the .p8 file in a text editor, then copy and paste its full contents, including the -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY----- and -----END PRIVATE KEY----- lines.
• Issuer Id: Copy the issuer ID shown near the top of the same App Store Connect page.
• Key Id: Copy the key ID shown for your key on the same page.
