FWIW, Uses include tools like this. It’s how Xcode is able to generate & download profiles for you.
If you go to:
And scroll down about a third of the way there’s a section called " Generate a Private Key and Assign It a Role"
You do have to be an Admin, but on a team of one you should always be the admin (or have access to that)
To be fair here, I actually have two Apple IDs in my account. The first (mine) is just for administration and the second is just for development. I do this so that the changes I make don’t affect “the real world” and compromise my personal account. It’s a pain, but it has saved me from deleting the contents of my iCloud account at least once that I know of. It also means that Wi-Fi changes don’t propagate to my personal devices (a thing that drives me nuts under normal circumstances).
Thanks, Greg, it worked. I took a deep breath and acknowledged the required step for accessing the App Store Connect API.
When I entered the data in APT, the “Application identifiers” listbox was initially filled with unrelated app identifiers that didn’t make sense (like Amazon things, “bw…” and others, like coming from other companies). I thought it was some kind of sponsorship between Apple and them .
Next I deleted an outdated item in the bottom listbox and the “Application Identifiers” listbox refreshed with my own identifiers (those I could identify). I can’t reproduce the initial behaviour…
Cool tool Greg. We are an enterprise developer so never use the app store. Looks like I cannot setup api access as when I go to Users and Access there is no ability to add a Key.
