Where do I find the Issuer ID in App Store Connect?

Sign in to App Store Connect, open Users and Access, switch to the Integrations tab, and select App Store Connect API in the sidebar. The Issuer ID is displayed at the top of the page with a copy button, above your list of API keys. You need Admin or Account Holder access to see this page.

Is the Issuer ID the same for every API key?

Yes. The Issuer ID identifies your team, not an individual key. Every team API key you generate shares the same Issuer ID, and it never changes. Only the Key ID and the .p8 private key file differ between keys. Individual (personal) API keys are the exception: they authenticate without an Issuer ID at all.

Is the Issuer ID the same as the Team ID?

No. The Issuer ID is a UUID shown on the App Store Connect API page and is used only to sign App Store Connect API tokens. The Team ID is a 10-character code from developer.apple.com (Membership details) used for code signing, entitlements and push notification tokens. Tools that ask for an Issuer ID want the UUID, not the Team ID.

Why can't I see the Issuer ID in App Store Connect?

Almost always a permissions problem: the Integrations tab is only visible to users with the Admin role or the Account Holder. If you have Admin and still see nothing, the Account Holder may need to accept the latest Apple Developer Program agreement, or team API keys may simply never have been enabled: the first visit to the page has a one-time 'Request Access' step.

Issuer ID: where to find it in App Store Connect

By Emin, indie iOS developer building FunnelHound · Published 13 Aug 2026 · Updated 3 Oct 2026

Short version: App Store Connect → Users and Access → Integrations → App Store Connect API. The Issuer ID sits at the top of that page with a copy button. One UUID for your whole team, shared by every API key, and it never changes. Everything below is the map for when that path doesn't behave.

Three clicks, one UUID. The copy button is the whole job.

The exact click-path

1. Sign in at appstoreconnect.apple.com.
2. Open Users and Access from the home screen.
3. Switch to the Integrations tab along the top.
4. In the sidebar, pick App Store Connect API (under "Keys").
5. The Issuer ID is right at the top, above the key list. Hit Copy. Done.

It's a UUID that looks like 57246542-96fe-1a63-e053-0824d011072a. If yours looks like that, you have the right string. If it looks like a 10-character code, you've copied a Key ID. Different thing, keep reading.

What the Issuer ID actually is

Every request to the App Store Connect API is authenticated with a signed token (JWT), and that token has to say who's asking. The Issuer ID is the "who": it identifies your team as the token's issuer. That's why it's identical for every key your team creates and why it never rotates: keys come and go, the team stays. It's an identifier, not a secret, but the polite habit is to treat the trio (Issuer ID, Key ID, .p8 file) as one credential bundle and keep it out of screenshots.

Issuer ID vs Key ID vs Team ID vs Vendor Number

Four IDs, four jobs, endlessly confused with each other:

Four IDs that get pasted into the wrong box. The shape gives each one away.

Issuer ID: your team. UUID format. Same for all keys, lives at the top of the API page.
Key ID: one specific key. Short code like 2X9R4HXF34, shown next to each key in the list (Key ID guide).
Team ID: your developer account on developer.apple.com, also 10 characters, used for signing and entitlements, never for this API (Team ID guide).
Vendor Number: your sales-reporting identity. Numeric, found in Payments and Financial Reports, needed for download and revenue reports.

Most tools ask for all three plus the .p8 file. The full key-generation walkthrough (roles, the one-time .p8 download, where each ID lives) is in our App Store Connect API key setup guide.

Issuer ID not showing? Check these

Your role. The Integrations tab is visible only to Admin and the Account Holder. Developer or Marketing roles see nothing there. Ask an admin to fetch the ID or bump your role.
Team keys never enabled. The first visit to the page has a one-time "Request Access" button an Account Holder must click before any keys (or the Issuer ID) exist.
Unaccepted agreements. A pending Apple Developer Program license agreement blocks chunks of App Store Connect, this page included. The Account Holder accepts it; things reappear.
Individual keys. Personal API keys (scoped to your user, not the team) don't use an Issuer ID at all. If a tool asks for one, it wants a team key.

Where you'll paste it

Fastlane's app_store_connect_api_key, CI pipelines, RevenueCat, analytics tools, and FunnelHound, where the Issuer ID + Key ID + .p8 combo is the 60-second setup that pulls your funnel out of App Store Connect and onto your iPhone. The key lives on your device, talks only to Apple, and the dashboard-archaeology part of your morning retires.

Data notes: click-path and role requirements verified against App Store Connect as of 2026. Apple reshuffles this UI periodically. If "Integrations" has moved again, the search box in Users and Access still finds it. The example UUID is Apple's own documentation sample, not a real team.
