App Store Connect Integration
Connecting your Apple App Store Connect account allows Cortex to automatically synchronize official impressions, product page views, downloads, sales metrics, and metadata versions.
Prerequisites
To create an API key, you must have an Admin or Account Holder role in your Apple Developer Enterprise / Organization account.
Generate an App Store Connect API Key
- Log in to App Store Connect.
- Go to Users and Access > Integrations > App Store Connect API.
- Click the + button to generate a new key.
- Name the key (e.g.
Cortex ASO Integration) and grant Admin or App Manager access. - Note the Key ID and your Issuer ID.
- Download the private
.p8key file.
Configure in Cortex Workspace
In Cortex, navigate to Settings > Integrations > Apple App Store Connect:
- Enter your Issuer ID (UUID format:
xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx) - Enter your Key ID (10-character string: e.g.
2X9R4HXF34) - Upload your
.p8private key file
Verify Connection
Cortex performs a cryptographic handshake with Apple's servers using ECDSA (P-256) signature generation. Once verified, initial 90-day historical data is ingested automatically.
Apple allows downloading the .p8 private key only once. Store your private key securely. Cortex encrypts credentials at rest with envelope encryption via AWS KMS / Google Cloud Secret Manager.
