App Store Connect

Configuration for connecting to App Store Connect for this app (App for Indeed).

Setup

1. API key (for automation, CI, or CLI tools):

   • In App Store Connect: Users and Access → Integrations → App Store Connect API → Generate API Key.
   • Download the .p8 file into this folder (e.g. AuthKey_XXXXXXXXXX.p8). Do not commit it.

2. Environment file:

   cd app-connect
   cp .env.example .env
   

   Edit .env with your Issuer ID, Key ID, path to the .p8 file, and numeric App Store / Developer IDs.

3. Xcode build settings (Mac App Store share links in the app):

   cp Local.xcconfig.example Local.xcconfig
   

   Set APP_STORE_APP_ID and APP_STORE_DEVELOPER_ID in Local.xcconfig. The Xcode target includes AppConnect.xcconfig, which pulls in Local.xcconfig.

App Store listing copy

Ready-to-paste metadata lives in app-data/ (name, subtitle, description, promotional text, copyright, keywords, and support/legal/marketing URLs).

Push metadata to App Store Connect

After filling in .env and editing app-data/*.txt:

cd app-connect
python3 scripts/update_app_store_metadata.py

• App Information (macOS): name, subtitle, privacy policy URL
  
• Version 1.0 (default): copyright, description, keywords, promotional text, marketing URL, support URL
  

Override version or locale: APP_STORE_VERSION=1.0 APP_STORE_LOCALE=en-US python3 scripts/update_app_store_metadata.py

Custom Terms of Use (EULA URL) must still use Apple’s standard EULA or be set manually in App Store Connect if you need a custom license agreement.

Loading .env in the shell

set -a
source app-connect/.env
set +a

Tools such as Fastlane, xcrun altool, and custom scripts can read the same variable names.
