APS-3720

The .p8 private key file could not be read

Why it happens

The file must be the private key you downloaded from App Store Connect when the key was created (a text file starting with -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY----- that holds an ES256 key). The uploaded file is not one, or its content changed.

What to do

Upload the AuthKey_<key ID>.p8 file exactly as you downloaded it. If you lost it, it cannot be downloaded again: revoke the key in App Store Connect and create a new one.
