App Store Connect API randomly returns error "An unexpected error occurred on the server side" or "The request timed out"
I use the App Store Connect API to run many parallel requests to update different parts of a single app. I am randomly getting errors such as An unexpected error occurred on the server side. or The request timed out. Usually when these errors happen, I can simply run the unsuccessful requests one or two more times and then they succeed. Is there an explanation for this? Is this possibly caused by too many parallel requests? What is the maximum suggested number of parallel requests?

Cannot create ios distribution certificate with visual studio
I registered as a developer with Apple. Since I work alone, I have an individual developer account. Unfortunately, I am unable to create an iOS distribution certificate from Visual Studio (for Windows). The option is grayed out even though my role in App Store Connect is "Admin". Visual Studio also shows me that my user is an admin - yet I don't seem to have rights to create iOS distribution certificates. I can create iOS development certificates without any problems.

How to Manually Release an App Store Approved Version of Your App
Automating the release process. (For policy reason need to use curl cmd, not permitted to use fastlane/etc for this step) Reading the App Store Connect API, I am uncertain what to pass as the "http body" during the POST action. What is AppStoreVersionReleaseRequestCreateRequest I would guess it goes in the "--data-raw" of curl cmd? There doesn't seem to be example snippet. Draft cmd: curl --location --request POST "<appStoreVersionReleaseRequests-api>" --header "Authorization: Bearer ${JWT}" --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --data-raw '{ "key?": "value?" }' REF https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstoreconnectapi/manually_release_an_app_store_approved_version_of_your_app?changes=latest_major

Cannot update Arabic via App Store Connect API
It looks like Arabic is not supported by BetaBuildLocalizationCreateRequest https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstoreconnectapi/betabuildlocalizationcreaterequest/data/attributes Is there any way to update this localization programmatically? If not, any timeline when it will be available? The goal here is to add "What's New" notes automatically in CI

App Groups, iCloud Containers, and APNS key creating from App Store Connect API
I've been trying to move my app creation code from fastlane to the App Store Connect API but I'm struggling with the docs. I'm unable to determine how I can create App Groups, iCloud Containers, and APNS keys. Can someone point me towards the docs on how to create and manage these resources? Here's where I've been looking: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstoreconnectapi I imagine that I'm not looking for the correct terminology and I would appreciate the guidance to find what I'm looking for. Thanks!!

Search app by bundleID - PARAMETER_ERROR.ILLEGAL
Trying to get the relevant app (it exists and published) by this endpoint: https://api.appstoreconnect.apple.com/v1/bundleIds/{id}/app Receiving error 404: "errors" : [ { "id" : "ec7b1469-fe54-4ad5-9f2b-f665c31a6358", "status" : "404", "code" : "PATH_ERROR_REALTIONSHIP", "title" : "The URL path is not valid", "detail" : "The relationship 'app' does not exist on resource 'bundleIds'" } ] Doing everything according to documentation. Tried to pass both Bundle ID id and Bundle ID itself. What could be the problem?

Can't log in to Individual Developer Account on VS 2022 due to unexpected server error
Hello, I'm creating an app in Visual Studio 2022 (Windows) and I'm attempting to go through the steps of porting it to my iPhone. However, for the past two days I've been encountering an error when attempting to log in to my individual developer account using my API key information. The message I'm getting states: "An unexpected error occurred, An unexpected error occurred on the server side. If this issue continues, contact us at https://developer.apple.com/contact/." I've already tried clearing the cache and I've tried connecting on two different networks but nothing has worked. This is incredibly frustrating and I'm failing to find a solution. Is this something I can even fix on my own, or do I just have to wait for Apple to resolve an issue?

Fixing the 403 Error in App Store Connect API Downloads
Hi to everyone, I've been attempting to automate the download of sales reports from App Store Connect through their API, but I've facing error 403: "id" : "2e8d7856-21f7-4436-9aa3-f43c36913d21", "status" : "403", "code" : "FORBIDDEN_ERROR", "title" : "This request is forbidden for security reasons", "detail" : "The API key in use does not allow this request" Below is the Python script I'm using to execute the API call, and I've confirmed my user role is set to admin: from datetime import datetime, timedelta from time import time, mktime import jwt import requests dt = datetime.now() + timedelta(minutes=19) KEY_ID = "***" ISSUER_ID = "***" headers = { "alg": "ES256", "kid": KEY_ID, "typ": "JWT", } payload = { "iss": ISSUER_ID, "iat": int(time()), "exp": int(mktime(dt.timetuple())), "aud": "appstoreconnect-v1", } with open("AuthKey_76VXCFGVZK.p8", "rb") as fh: # Add your file signing_key = fh.read() gen_jwt = jwt.encode(payload, signing_key, algorithm="ES256", headers=headers) url = 'https://api.appstoreconnect.apple.com/v1/salesReports' params = { 'filter[frequency]': 'YEARLY', 'filter[reportDate]': '2021', 'filter[reportSubType]': 'DETAILED', 'filter[reportType]': 'INSTALLS', 'filter[vendorNumber]': '***' } headers = { 'Authorization': f'Bearer {gen_jwt}' } response = requests.get(url, headers=headers, params=params) if response.status_code == 200: with open('sales_report.csv', 'wb') as f: f.write(response.content) else: print(f'Failed to download sales report: {response.status_code} - {response.text}') I found in the forum some users (similar post) that had my same issue but it seem that there's no way out. So now I'm wondering if I made some mistake in my code. I hope you can help me with this. Thanks in advance.

Analytics API detailed report missing data
Hello! I'm tasked with implementing the App Store Connect Analytics API report exports and I've noticed some major discrepancies between the Standard and Detailed reports. I need to use the Detailed report specifically because of the breakdown by 'Source Info' which lets us break downloads and revenue down by specific App Referrers. I have exported and processed both Standard and Detailed reports for one of our apps. Standard report downloads totals do match with the App Store Connect Metrics dashboard. However the detailed report totals appear wildly inaccurate. Just as an example, I requested ONE_TIME_SNAPSHOT reports for the same app and there are major differences in the volume of data between standard and detailed. App Store Downloads Standard: 4,331,848 rows across 35 segments. App Store Downloads Detailed: 1,476,971 rows across 18 segments. The total numbers for First downloads and Redownloads are at least 40% lower in the detailed reports as they are in the standard reports/app store connect. Unfortunately the Standard report does not offer the granularity we want and the Detailed report is missing too much data to be useful. Are there no other official way of getting this data?

How to retrieve the App Icon?
I need to get the app icon from the AppStore Connect API in order to display a list of my apps. However there seems to be no way. I See in the appstoreconnect.apple.com website that the icons are there and available, there is even a function where you can click on it and get the high res version: https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/apps/1504874998/distribution/ios/version/deliverable (this link is of course not available from the outside) I tried builds/{id}/icons which always returns nothing and found an iconAssetToken object in the builds array, but the link is weirdly formatted and leads to nothing. Hope someone can help, I'm fairly new to the API and the usage is quite odd for me so far. Best, Nils

Can't get latest App build
I'm working with this endpoint: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstoreconnectapi/list_all_builds_of_an_app Paging says 226 total entries. Max allowed limit to get is 200. The data is sent from oldest to newest, meaning I will never be able to get my latest build data (actually I only want my last build). There is also no sort query. What can I do? This seems to be bugged out. Best, Nils

Unable to Download API Key
As an admin I am trying to download API Key created by account holder. I see download button. I press it. And file is not downloaded. It just redirects me to - https://appstoreconnect.apple.com and that's it. We tried to recreate key, to use different admin accounts, to clear all cookies, use private safari browsing. And we were still not able to download it.

Default Role Settings Prevent use of Developer ID Certificates
Hi All, We use a small group of Mac mini units running VMs for our Apple CI system. Since you can't login to an Apple ID on an Apple Silicon VM we wanted to use an App Store Connect API token to handle all the authentication for us. In the past this has not worked but I wanted to see if it could now. The answer is no, you can not use an API token with Developer ID Cloud certificates. The reason is that, even on an Admin role token, the DevID certificates are not enabled by default. When you are using an Apple ID this is no big deal as you can check the box to allow access, but with tokens they are minted with only the default settings for the role. This means that the option for Access to Cloud Managed Developer ID Certificates is always disabled and you can't enable it. If we could continue logging in with an Apple ID we could stumble along with that still, but even this ability is gone on AS VMs. Right now this pretty much means that we either give up on using stateless VMs to build or we go back to manually managing all of our code signing materials. The longer term solution would be to move to Xcode Cloud, but that will take us quite some time. I filed FB13687073 to see if there is any way to create a token that can use this checkbox.

When is review required when updating an in-app purchase?
I'm working on an automation for creating and updating in-app purchases using the App Store Connect API, and need to know when to create a new review submission after updating an in-app purchase or any of its associated entities (localizations, prices schedules, etc). I expect a review submission is required when ANY IAP attribute or any attribute of an IAP's associated entity us updated, but I don't have any active IAPs to experiment with in the dashboard in order to confirm that.
