- `APPLE_ID`, `APPLE_PASSWORD` and `APPLE_TEAM_ID`: to authenticate with your Apple ID, set the `APPLE_ID` to your Apple account email (example: `export [email protected]`) and the `APPLE_PASSWORD` to an [app-specific password] for the Apple account.
- `APPLE_API_ISSUER`, `APPLE_API_KEY` and `APPLE_API_KEY_PATH`: alternatively, you can authenticate using an App Store Connect API key. Open the App Store Connect's [Users and Access page], select the `Keys` tab, click on the `Add` button and select a name and the `Developer` access. The `APPLE_API_ISSUER` (`Issuer ID`) is presented above the keys table, and the `APPLE_API_KEY` is the value on the `Key ID` column on that table. You also need to download the private key, which can only be done once and is only visible after a page reload (the button is shown on the table row for the newly created key). The private key file path must be set via the `APPLE_API_KEY_PATH` environment variable.
