What is iTunes Connect ?

No comments :

Sign In to iTunes Connect

Before you can use iTunes Connect, you must have an iTunes Connect user account. There are two ways to receive an iTunes Connect account:
  • Start your own iTunes Connect organization by enrolling in an Apple Developer Program. You can then sign in to iTunes Connect as your organization’s team agent. The Apple ID you used for the Apple Developer Program is your credential to sign in to iTunes Connect.
  • Be invited into an existing iTunes Connect organization. The organization’s team agent or another user with an iTunes Connect Admin role must create your account using your name and email address. If the email address isn’t already an Apple ID, iTunes Connect generates an Apple ID using this email address. See Setting Up User Accounts for instructions for creating new users and for what to do if a member of your organization already has an Apple ID.
The Apple ID and password are the credentials used to access your iTunes Connect user account.
To sign in to iTunes Connect
  1. Enter your Apple ID and password, and click Return.
    After you sign in, the iTunes Connect homepage appears.

Find Functionality by Section

iTunes Connect is divided into sections, each of which organizes the tasks you can accomplish. You see the sections on the iTunes Connect homepage that correspond to the roles assigned to your user account. Table 1-1 describes each section.

Take iTunes Connect with You

The iTunes Connect app is an extension of iTunes Connect that presents sales and trend information about your apps. The underlying unit data is the same information that continues to be available to you in the Sales and Trends section in iTunes Connect. You can also view your apps’ customer reviews, reject a build, release an app, and perform other basic app management actions.
iTunes Connect is available on the App Store.
