App Store Connect API integration

We integrate and automate work with the App Store Connect API (Apple): automation of app management, metadata, TestFlight, releases, exporting sales/financial reports into your system. Honestly and bluntly upfront: this is automation of development/publishing processes, NOT a source of installs/sales. An Apple Developer account and API keys are needed, the API changes, there are limits. The API does not cancel App Store moderation. Without promises of installs/top from the fact of automation.

Price
$7,000
Duration
usually 2-4 weeks (depends on operations/systems) + support by agreement

App Store Connect API integration — overview

App Store Connect API integration — price, timeline & scope

App Store Connect API is developing and supporting automation/integration with the App Store Connect API (Apple): authorization (API keys/JWT), automation of app and metadata management (titles/descriptions/localizations/screenshots), build and TestFlight management (beta testers/groups), release/phased-release management, exporting sales/financial/analytics reports into your system (BI/accounting), automation of routine operations, error handling/retries accounting for limits, monitoring. The work: authorization, operation/report automation, limits/errors, support. Honestly about 'automation ≠ installs/sales', this is key: the API automates management and reporting (removes the developer's/manager's manual work), but does not create installs/sales — they depend on the product, ASO, demand, advertising. 'We automate via the API — installs will grow' = a lie. Honestly about 'it does not cancel moderation': automated submission of metadata/builds via the API still passes Apple review (App Review Guidelines) — the API does not bypass moderation; violations = rejection. Honestly about 'an Apple Developer account/keys are needed': API access requires an Apple Developer account and generated keys with the needed permissions — a prerequisite. Honestly about 'the API changes/requires support': Apple updates the API — the automation requires support; 'once and forever' = a lie. Honestly about 'rate limits': the API has limits — we design operations within them. Honestly about 'reliability': the API fails/errors; we do error handling/retries/monitoring, but 100% uptime depends on Apple. Honestly about 'within the rules': the API legally per Apple's ToS. Honestly about the effect: it develops and supports automation via the App Store Connect API (app/metadata/TestFlight/release management, exporting reports into the system, error/limit handling), removing manual development/publishing routine, but automation ≠ installs/sales; it does not cancel Apple moderation; a Developer account/keys are needed; the API changes (support); limits; reliability depends on Apple; within the rules. Honestly about access: an Apple Developer account with API access, your system are needed. An important boundary: this is automation/integration; ASO/App Store page optimization — 599 (marketplaces section). The base price starts from 35,000 ₽ for automation/integration (depends on operations/systems; support separate).

Problems we solve

  • App/metadata/TestFlight/release management and report collection are done manually: slow, errors.
  • A misconception that automation via the API = install/sales growth.
  • Not knowing that the API does not cancel Apple moderation and requires a Developer account/keys.
  • Expecting 'set up forever'; ignoring API limits.

FAQ

  • Will automation via the API give install/sales growth?

    No, honestly: the App Store Connect API automates app, metadata, TestFlight, release management and reporting — it removes manual work, but does not create installs/sales. They depend on the product, ASO (599), demand, advertising. We honestly make automation as an efficiency tool, without promises of installs/top.

  • Will the API bypass Apple moderation?

    No, honestly: automated submission of metadata/builds via the API still passes Apple review (App Review Guidelines) — the API does not bypass moderation, and violations lead to rejection. We automate processes legally, within Apple's rules; we do not bypass.

  • Will you set it up once and forever?

    No, honestly: Apple updates the API, so the automation requires support; plus an Apple Developer account with keys is needed and there are request limits. 'Once and forever' is a deception. We honestly include support and design operations within limits.
