App Store credentials

This guide shows how to create an App Store Connect API key and enter the values under Store accounts in the Application Platform. The platform verifies the credentials before saving them and then makes them available to projects and pipelines.

Prerequisites

• Membership in the Apple Developer Program
• Access to App Store Connect with permission to manage API keys

If you do not have an account yet: Apple Developer and App Store account.

1. Create an API key in App Store Connect

1. Sign in to App Store Connect.
2. Open Users and Access → Integrations → App Store Connect API (labels may vary slightly).
3. Create a new key and assign a role with enough rights for builds and releases (often App Manager or Developer).
4. Download the private key (.p8) once and store it securely. Apple does not show the secret again.

From the same screen note:

• Key ID – identifier of the key (remains visible)
• Issuer ID – UUID at the top of the API page (shared by all keys of the organization)

2. Developer Team ID and team name

1. Open the Apple Developer portal and go to Membership (or account membership details).
2. Copy the Team ID (10 characters).
3. Note the team name as shown in App Store Connect or the Developer portal.

3. Enter the values in the Application Platform

Under Store accounts, create an App Store account and enter:

First click Verify credentials. The platform validates the key against App Store Connect and, on success, shows account information (for example key ID and found apps). Only then can you save.

4. Security

• Do not expose .p8 material or issuer/key IDs publicly; restrict organization credentials to trusted admins.
• Rotate keys if compromise is suspected and update the platform entry.
• Apple allows downloading the .p8 file only once—keep a secure copy until the key is stored in the platform.
