Creating API Keys for automatic upload to App Store Connect and Play Console

mos.publisher requires an API key each for the automatic upload of the app to the Apple App Store (App Store Connect) and Google Play Store (Play Console).

Different scenarios

Depending on whether you have already downloaded an API key and just need to upload it to mos.publisher, or whether you need to start from scratch and create a new API key, you may skip some of the instructions by selecting your scenario below:

warning

Please note that each API key can only be downloaded once.
If you have already downloaded your API key but no longer have access to it, you must create a new API key and should strongly consider revoking the old one. Therefore, make sure that you store the API key securely and remember where you have saved it.

Create a new API key

note

Before you can access the App Store Connect-API, you need permission. Only the account holder of the Apple account can request access.

Currently, mos. only supports team keys. To generate a team key, you need an admin account in App Store Connect.

  • Log in to App Store Connect.
  • Go to Users and Access in the header.
  • Go to the Integrations tab.
  • Go to App Store Connect API in the left sidebar.
  • Select the Team Keys tab.
  • Click on the Generate API Key or the + button.
  • Enter a name for the key.
  • Select the role for the key under Access.
  • Click on the Generate button.

Download the API key

  • Log in to App Store Connect.
  • Go to Users and Access in the header.
  • Go to the Itegrations tab.
  • Go to App Store Connect API in the left sidebar.
  • Select the Team Keys tab.

note

If you do not see the Download button, the API key has already been downloaded previously. In this case, you must create a new API key and should strongly consider revoking the old one.
