Issue Description

I’m trying to use the new App Store Connect API integration with Fastlane. I am doing this by using the following action:

api_key = app_store_connect_api_key
upload_to_testflight(api_key: api_key)

I am taking advantage of this action being able to automatically read from the ENV variables I have defined in CircleCI. The ENV variables I am using are:

APP_STORE_CONNECT_API_KEY_IN_HOUSE
APP_STORE_CONNECT_API_KEY_ISSUER_ID
APP_STORE_CONNECT_API_KEY_KEY
APP_STORE_CONNECT_API_KEY_KEY_ID

It was confusing to me what duration and in_house mean, so I decided to omit duration, and am passing false for in_house.

It also should be noted that I found it confusing as to how to format the P8 Key in a single string since the P8 has multiple line breaks including line breaks that break up parts of the actual content of the key. However from the examples in the docs it seems to only show adding line breaks before and after the content of the key.

I am formatting my APP_STORE_CONNECT_API_KEY_KEY as follows: -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\nthiswherethekeywouldbe\n-----END PRIVATE KEY-----

For example if the P8 was (not my actual p8, just typed random characters):

-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY----
LKJSBLK384723O8FB4378B
3C48BF3487B3788BF34F43
348BF743F78B34OF83B4FO
-----END PRIVATE KEY-----

I then formatted my APP_STORE_CONNECT_API_KEY_KEY to: -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\nLKJSBLK384723O8FB4378B3C48BF3487B3788BF34F43348BF743F78B34OF83B4FO\n-----END PRIVATE KEY-----

Command executed

api_key = app_store_connect_api_key
upload_to_testflight(api_key: api_key)

BTW… I’m thinking of adding a Base64 option of some sort onto key_content so that you don’t need to deal with weird new lines and stuff 🤷‍♂️

Hello! Working on a solution for this today 😊 Got side tracked by some other emergency issues that came up 😬

joshdholtz on Oct 6, 2020

@joshdholtz yes, it looks like it works for me. Thanks! This is my Gemfile:

gem ‘fastlane’, git: “https://github.com/fastlane/fastlane”, ref: “48151291f2c4949c3b1b9919ba2cc81a7cc33293”

I’m also receiving this error uploading to testflight. Weirdly, the lane Successfully finished processing and also appears in AppStoreConnect, but the lane crashes eventually with the same error.

patreu22 on Oct 1, 2020

@xanderbuck I think I’m going to keep this open and see if we can provide some more useful feedback when the P8 is bad 😊 I’m sure there will be more reports of this if we don’t… which is totally fair 😉

And welcome to community! So happy to have you 😊 Glad you had a good experience! Hopefully we see (and don’t see you) more 😝
