create_profile method running successfully, but not updating developer portal.

[timothy-anon]

I've been working on a script to handle some of the AppStoreConnect stuff I'd normally do by hand. Currently I have two tasks, I need to create an identifier and a profile. The readme runs through how to create an identifier and it works great. My code for that is

p8 = File.read(File.new("#{filePath}"))

AppStoreConnect.config = {
    issuer_id: 'xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx',
    key_id: 'xxxxxxxx',
    private_key: p8
}

app_store_connect = AppStoreConnect::Client.new

app_store_connect.create_bundle_id(
    name: 'Foo', 
    identifier: 'com.foo.bar', 
    platform: 'IOS'
)

I've also figured out that I can run a create_profile method like so

app_store_connect.create_profile(
    name: 'Foo', 
    profile_type: 'IOS_APP_STORE'
)

And while the script runs successfully, it doesn't create a new profile on the app store developer portal. Looking through the other profiles (by iterating through app_store_connect.profiles) doesn't seem to yield a whole lot of information about what I might be missing either.

Any help?

Okay, so I think things are more under development than I realized. I cloned the repo and in client.rb, I added the lines

#
# @see https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstoreconnectapi
#
def create_profile(**kwargs)
    web_service_endpoint = Schema::WebServiceEndpoint.new(
        { http_body_type: 'ProfileCreateRequest', http_method: 'post', url: 'https://api.appstoreconnect.apple.com/v1/profiles' }
    )

    call(web_service_endpoint, **kwargs)
end

below the definition for the method create_beta_build_localization. Then (after figuring out how rbenv works and getting myself on the right ruby version), I ran the gem build /path/to/.gemspec command. Then I installed the gem that was created in the root directory for the repo. Finally, I was able to utilize this new implementation in my script like so

profile = app_store_connect.create_profile(
    name: 'Foo', 
    profile_type: 'IOS_APP_STORE',
    relationships: {
        "bundleId": {
            "data": {
                "type": "bundleIds",
                "id": "<bundle id>"
            }
        },
        "certificates": {
            "data": [{
                "type": "certificates",
                "id": "<certificate id>"
            }]
        }
    }
)

I was able to get the <bundle_id> and the <certificate_id> using the following code.

ids = app_store_connect.bundle_ids

for id in ids
    puts id
end

and

certificates = app_store_connect.certificates

for cert in certificates
    puts cert
end

I recommend running them one at a time because they output A LOT of information. You'll see that on both certificates and bundle_ids, there is an id property. Copy those strings into the required fields. That'll create a profile for you.

More exploration is still needed to find a way to retrieve the id's and put them into their own strings, I don't know ruby well enough to figure that out. Additionally, to implement other properties, more exploration is needed to understand how and where to put the information in the create_profile method call.
