Configuration - Setting up API Keys

Before using the commands, make sure to set up the API keys required for authentication. Follow the steps below to configure the necessary keys:

App Store Connect

To interact with App Store Connect, follow these steps:

1. Obtain the necessary keys - issuerId, keyId, and authKey from App Store Connect.
2. Use the ios-key command to generate the encoded key.

authKey="-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----
your key
-----END PRIVATE KEY-----"

#set you key
iosKey=$(npx release-to-app-store ios-key --issuerId 89a6de7b-ef0e-4ge3-e053-5bfac7c11a4d1 --keyId UCK38SDNK --authKey $authKey)

#make an relase and add it to review
npx release-to-app-store make-ios-release --key $iosKey --appId 1586363601 --version 1.0.0 --buildNumber 1 --addToAppReview true

Google Play

To interact with Google Play, follow these steps:

1. Visit the Google Play Console and create an API key.
2. Save your Google Play key as a JSON file.
3. Use the --path option with the android-key command to specify the path to your Google Play key file.

#set you key
androidKey=$(npx release-to-app-store android-key --path ./google-play-key.json)

#make an relase
npx release-to-app-store make-android-release --key $androidKey --appId test.my.app --version 1.0.0 --buildNumber 1
