iOS Question two step verification app specific passwords

[Markos]

Hi,

Will this new requirement impact the Upload to iStore feature in b4i and if so do we simply create an App specific password and then upload as normal.

Secondly Apple states only 25 passwords will be saved if this is the case as developers we can only have 25 Apps actively being revised and updated at any point in time?

I recently updated to iOS 10.x on my iPhone and it imposed this 2 step verification on the phone but when I went into itunesconnect to create the profile for a new App and then attempted to upload the Archive.zip using b4i I got this error msg:

Usage: altool --validate-app -f file -t platform -u username [-p password]
altool --upload-app -f file -t platform -u username -p password

-f, --file Filename.
-t, --type Type/Platform: osx, ios, appletvos.
-u, --username Username. Required to connect for validation and upload.
-p, --password Password. Required if username specified. Password is read from stdin if one is not supplied.
May use @keychain: or @env: prefixes followed by the keychain or environment variable lookup name.
e.g. -p @env:SECRET which would use the value in the SECRET environment variable.

-v, --validate-app Validate an app archive. The username, password, and file path to app archive are required.
--upload-app Uploads the given app archive. The username, password, and file path to app archive are required.
--output-format [xml | normal] 'xml' displays error output in a structured format; 'normal' outputs in an unstructured format (default)

-h, --help Display this output.

Sorry two step Authentication

 

[Markos]

I was able to revert back the standard 1 general password thank goodness!

For those who are stuck with 2 step perhaps we can make a statement what is required to successfuly push to iStore with 2 step authenrication

 

[Erel]

2 step authentication is currently not supported by the online submission tool.

Thanx Erel

I'm confident that may be a new option in future releases of b4i in the event the 2 step Auth becomes mandatory as opposed to optional. I would like request through your existing relationship with Apple devopment team that they try and not restrict developers ability to publish such as no more than 25 App specific passwords that is intended for end users primarily.

Thanx again
