Generate JWT Token for use with AppStore API

AppStoreApiJWTGenerator

Generate Token for App Store Connect API Requests

About

In order to use the App Store Connect API you need to generate a JWT token. The docs explain how the token shall be generated in Generating Tokens for API Requests.

However, the actual command to create such a token in the end is missing. Instead the docs state something like go to jwt.io and there are tools to generate JWT tokens. There I found a library from IBM written in Swift.

So I went ahead and created this simple command line tool to generate JWT tokens suitable for the App Store Connect API. The rest was a bit try and error and checking out the brandnew ArgumentParser library :-)

Usage

astokengenerator --key-id <key-id> --issuer-id <issuer-id> --path-to-private-key <path-to-private-key>

• key-id = Your private key ID from App Store Connect (Ex: 2X9R4HXF34)
• issuer-id = Your issuer ID from the API Keys page in App Store Connect (Ex: 57246542-96fe-1a63-e053-0824d011072a)
• path-to-private-key = The path to the private key in .p8 format

Dependencies

• SwiftJWT
• ArgumentParser
