Introduction

This guide shows you how to connect Apple Developer with your BuddyBoss App. Once connected, you’ll be able to sync in-app products, generate provisioning profiles automatically, and publish your iOS app to the App Store more efficiently.

Before getting started, ensure you have enrolled in the Apple Developer Program and created the required API key (Issuer ID and Key ID).

2. Enter a Name
   • This will be used only as a reference inside your Apple Developer account

   • The Admin role is recommended so that the BuddyBoss App plugin has sufficient permissions to perform the actions needed to provide all the features available.
   • The App Manager role is also supported, but certain features, such as Publishing, will require additional setup steps as the plugin would not have sufficient permission to automate those steps in your Apple Developer account.
4. Click on Generate
5. Click on the Download API Key link next to the key you just generated
   • You’ll only be able to download the key once, so make sure you keep it somewhere safe incase you need to re-enter it again in the future.
6. Copy your Issuer ID and the key’s Key ID, ready to enter them in your BuddyBoss App’s settings
