Hi Jesse, thanks for creating this article. It has great insights about Fastlane. I'm trying to apply some of the tips you shared and I have a question regarding the App Store Connect API key as JSON file. I put the relative path, in my case ~/Development/AppStoreAPIKey.json, in my Fastfile:

pilot(
      team_id: COMPANY_TEAM_ID,
      ipa: PRODUCTION_IPA_PATH,
      skip_submission: true,
      skip_waiting_for_build_processing: true,
      api_key_path: "~/Development/<redacted>.json"
    )

but Fastlane raises an issue: [22:54:44]: Couldn't find API key JSON file at path '~/Development/<redacted>.json'.

In your case, do you use the full path of the JSON file?

Thanks @ricardopereira ! 🙌🏼

I specify the absolute path in my DeliverFile

api_key_path("/Users/jsq/Developer/AppStoreConnect/api_key.json")

@ricardopereira Also just FYI, if you create a ~/Developer/ directory instead of "Development", then macOS will add a nice folder icon for you:

Nice! Didn't know that. Thanks for clarifying.
