ios - Fastlane Boarding with two-factor authentication

Question

I followed the "Getting Started" guide on the boarding github page, but I keep getting this error on my heroku page We're sorry, but something went wrong.

The boarding page does say that the two-factor auth works and to go here: https://github.com/fastlane/fastlane/blob/master/spaceship/README.md#2-step-verification but I'm not sure how to add that cookie to my heroku site.

Thanks in advance.

Fastlane now (as of version 2.160.0) supports Apple's App Store Connect API. This avoids all the problems with 2FA session hacks. There are still a few fastlane actions that do not have full support but the majority do.

https://docs.fastlane.tools/app-store-connect-api/ explains how to start using an API key in fastlane.

In summary, here's what you need to do (these examples come straight from that documentation):

1. Create an App Store Connect API Key
2. From that same page, download the new key .p8 private key file and save it somewhere safe (WARNING: you can only download it once). Take note of the Key ID and the Issuer ID as you'll need them again shortly.
3. Either use the app_store_connect_api_key action to specify the new key in your Fastfile:

lane :release do
  api_key = app_store_connect_api_key(
    key_id: "D383SF739",
    issuer_id: "6053b7fe-68a8-4acb-89be-165aa6465141",
    key_filepath: "./AuthKey_D383SF739.p8",
    duration: 1200, # optional
    in_house: false, # optional but may be required if using match/sigh
  )

  pilot(api_key: api_key)
end

Or, write the details to a JSON file:

{
  "key_id": "D383SF739",
  "issuer_id": "6053b7fe-68a8-4acb-89be-165aa6465141",
  "key": "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----
MIGTAgEAMBMGByqGSM49AgEGCCqGSM49AwEHBHknlhdlYdLu
-----END PRIVATE KEY-----",
  "duration": 1200, # optional
  "in_house": false, # optional but may be required if using match/sigh
}

and reference the JSON file either in your Fastfile:

lane :release do
  pilot( api_key_path: "fastlane/D383SF739.json" )
end

Or via the command line:

$ fastlane pilot distribute --api_key_path fastlane/D383SF739.json
