Apple App Store setup

Access to App Store Connect with permission to create API keys. That is usually Account Holder or Admin. If the Integrations page is missing for you, someone with more access has to generate the key.

Apple does not do a sign-in flow for this. You create a key, download it once, and give it to us. Everything below happens in App Store Connect first, then in Integrations → Apple App Store.

In App Store Connect, go to Users and Access → Integrations.

1. Copy the Issuer ID shown at the top of the page. It is account-wide, so every key you ever make shares it.
2. Generate a new API key and give it a name you will recognise in six months. "AI Review Sensor" beats "test2".
3. Copy the Key ID from the new row in the Active keys list.
4. Download the .p8 file from that row.

Apple lets you download the .p8 once. If you lose it, the key is dead and you generate a new one. Do not leave it in your Downloads folder.

Open Integrations, choose Apple App Store, and fill in the three fields: Issuer ID, Key ID, and the .p8 upload.

Every screen of this is in the in-app guide with screenshots, so you can keep it open beside App Store Connect rather than switching tabs from memory.

Once the key validates, you pick which apps to pull. You do not have to take all of them.

Connect a second app and you are offered the credential you already saved, rather than being asked for the same .p8 again.

That is deliberate: one key per team is easier to rotate than five copies of it scattered across connectors.

Customer reviews and ratings for the apps you selected, across every storefront they appear in. Reviews in other languages arrive translated.

Replies post back as your developer response, the same thing you would type into App Store Connect yourself, subject to Apple's own length limit.

The key will not validate. Check you pasted the Issuer ID and not the Key ID. They look similar enough at a glance. Then check the .p8 is the file for that Key ID.

No apps in the list. The key has access to whatever its role allows. A key made under a limited role may see nothing.

It worked, now it does not. A revoked key in App Store Connect stops the connector. Generate a new one and update the credential rather than deleting the connector, so your review history stays attached.
