Set Up Upload Configuration<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    2. Under Apple Account ID<\/strong>, select the developer account you’ll use.
      <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Generate an App-Specific Password<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
        \n

      3. Enter a label (e.g., \u201cLearndash App\u201d) and click Create<\/strong>.
        <\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. Re-enter your main Apple ID password if prompted.
        <\/li>\n\n\n\n

              Troubleshooting and FAQs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

              Q: Why do I see an authentication error when uploading?<\/strong>

              Q: Why isn\u2019t my build available for upload?<\/strong>
              <\/strong> A: Make sure you’re selecting a Release App<\/strong> build. Test App builds can\u2019t be uploaded. Also, confirm the version number is higher than the existing version in App Store Connect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Q: I changed my Apple ID password. Why do uploads no longer work?<\/strong>
              <\/strong> A: Apple revokes all app-specific passwords when you change your Apple ID password. You\u2019ll need to generate and save a new one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
