App Store API Keys

In order for iaptic to access Apple In-App Purchases API, you need to setup an API Key. Here's how.

Prerequisites

  • An Apple Developer account with admin or account holder role
  • Access to App Store Connect
  • Your app already configured in App Store Connect

Setup Process

The setup consists of 3 simple steps and takes about 5 minutes.

1. Access Key Management

  1. Log into App Store Connect
  2. Go to "Users and Access"
  3. Select the "Keys" tab in the sidebar

2. Create New Key

  1. Click the "+" button or "Generate API Key" to create a new key
  2. Select "In-App Purchase" from the access rights
  3. Click "Generate Key"

3. Collect Credentials

You'll need four pieces of information:

  1. Issuer ID: Found at the top of the keys page
  2. Key ID: The identifier for your newly created key
  3. API Key File: A .p8 file containing the private key. It's a text file which content you should copy and paste into the settings form.
  4. App Bundle ID: The bundle ID of your app.

Verification

After saving your configuration, let's make a test API call to verify the credentials.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues:

  • Verify you have the correct access rights in App Store Connect
  • Ensure the API key hasn't expired
  • Check that all three credentials match
  • Confirm the .p8 file is the correct one for your Key ID
