              Q: I don\u2019t see the Integrations tab in App Store Connect.<\/strong>
              <\/strong> A: Ensure you\u2019re on the Users and Access<\/strong> page and that your Apple ID has Admin<\/strong> privileges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              <\/strong> A: Confirm you\u2019re using the exact file downloaded from App Store Connect. Clear your browser cache or switch browsers if the issue persists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
