Connecting Median with App Store Connect

To simplify the iOS build process, Median integrates directly with your Apple Developer account through App Store Connect. By setting up this connection, we can automatically generate and manage the required certificates and provisioning profiles for your app within your Median organization — no manual setup required.

This integration streamlines the entire workflow and allows you to build and test your app with minimal effort.

You’re always in control: you can disconnect this integration at any time from your Median settings, or revoke the API key directly from your App Store Connect account.

Manual Setup

If you are unable to connect to App Store Connect, you can always use the manual way to configure a certificate and a provisioning profile (See Below)

Set up App Store Connect API keys

1. Go to https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/access/integrations/api and create an API key.
   Click the (+) button, enter an API key name (e.g. “Median App Studio”), select either Admin or App Manager access, and click the Generate button. Once done, download the .p8 file (you will now have the Issuer ID, Key ID, and the .p8 file).

2. Go to the Median organization page > App Store Connect, and set up the API keys

⚠️

Important:

If you're part of an App Store Connect organization, make sure to create a Team API key, not an Individual one.
This is the most common setup, and using the wrong type of key may cause permission or access issues during the build process.
