Integrating your Apple Developer API Key into the MemberPress AppKit plugin enables seamless communication with App Store Connect, powering automated publishing, certificate management, and more.
This guide walks you through generating an API Key in App Store Connect and connecting it in your MemberPress AppKit iOS settings so you can unlock full automation without leaving WordPress.
Understanding API Key Integration
API key integration requirements define necessary configurations for automated App Store Connect communication and management operations.
API key authentication provides secure programmatic access to App Store Connect services. Key-based authentication eliminates password exposure for automated operations.
Automated publishing enablement allows build uploads and release management without manual console interaction. Automation streamlines app submission and update workflows.
Certificate management automation enables provisioning profile and signing certificate operations through WordPress. Automated certificate handling reduces manual configuration complexity.
Permission level selection determines scope of automated operations available to API key. Admin access grants full permissions while App Manager provides limited capabilities.
One-time download security protects API key files from unauthorized access after generation. Secure storage prevents credential compromise and unauthorized account access.
