Required - setting the requirement for using a proxy server blocks access to the App Store Connect API without specifying a proxy server in all projects.
Active - enabling a proxy server for secure use of the App Store Connect API.
Host - the address of the proxy server, which you can get from your administrator or service provider.
Port - the port of the proxy server, which you can get from your administrator or service provider.
Requires authentication - setting the requirement for authentication to access the proxy server.
Login - login to access the proxy server, which you can get from your administrator or service provider.
Password - password to access the proxy server, which you can get from your administrator or service provider.
The Check button tests the connection to the proxy server to ensure it is set up correctly. If successful, it displays the current IP address as seen through the proxy.
When checking the IP address, two methods are used, each called in turn:
- Server request - checks the IP address from the ASO.dev server.
- Third-party system - checks the IP address using the third-party service ipify API.
If the check fails, you will see an error message.
The connection errored: Connection refused This indicates an error which most likely cannot be solved by the library.
App specific password
This section is available only for the selected project.
App specific password for Apple ID - in this section, you can add an app-specific password from Apple ID to use it in integration with App Store Connect.
It’s used to get access to Analytics from App Store Connect, as well as to send a complaint to the review.
Or log out of the Apple ID account if you want to use another account.
App Store Connect
App Store Connect API issue? - This setting is reserved and can be enabled automatically if necessary.
It is designed for situations where the App Store Connect API is not functioning correctly.
For example, to address the error where the Apple App Store Connect API in the metadata editor incorrectly returns the list of app versions.
When enabled, an alternative API will be used, which may be slower but can help resolve issues.
Note that this setting is not saved and must be enabled each time you start ASO.dev, as the API issue is likely temporary.
