How to connect App Store Connect to Databox

To connect an App Store Connect Account in Databox, go to  Data Manager > + New connection. Type App Store Connect in the search bar and click on the green Connect button. 

This will open the  Authorization window, which is where you will be prompted to enter your App Store Connect login credentials and authorize the Databox app. 

It's recommended that you create a separate User to connect with in Databox. This User should have Read Only access to analytics. To do this, log in to App Store Connect and navigate to Users and Access. Click + to add a new User. Make sure to give the new User Sales permissions. 

Do not choose any specific apps in the Apps field. When you connect App Store Connect with Databox, you'll have the ability to choose from any apps that the User has analytics access to. 

Be sure to confirm the new User before attempting to connect in Databox. 

How much historical data is synced when you first connect App Store Connect to Databox?

When you connect a new App Store Connect Data Source in Databox, 90 days worth of historical data is initially synced. 

Certain Metrics may have more or less historical data available. For more information about the amount of historical data available for a specific Metric, please contact our Support Team at [email protected]

Pro Tip: Once your App Store Connect Data Source is connected and actively syncing data, we store the data that's collected in our own database. This allows us to accumulate more data over time as more data syncs are made so that you can report on more historical App Store Connect data in your Databox reports. Learn more here. 

What time zone does App Store Connect data sync in? 

App Store Connect data is synced in the time zone set in UTC. 

Can I connect App Store Connect to Databox if I have 2FA enabled

It is not currently possible to connect App Store Connect to Databox if you have Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) enabled. Unfortunately, it is not currently possible to disable 2FA in App Store Connect once it is enabled.

We are in the process of updating our integration to support connections from Accounts with Two-Factor Authentication enabled. To be notified when this update is released, please upvote this request on our Roadmap site.

Metric Considerations

  • Certain Metrics- like Sessions, Active Devices, and Crashes - can be enabled and disabled by iOS users. Therefore, the Metric Value may be lower than the actual value if your app users have disabled this tracking.

API Limitations 

  • App Store Connect Accounts with two-factor authentication enabled cannot be connected to Databox at this time. If you enable two-factor authentication after connecting App Store Connect with Databox, the Data Source will disconnect.
