How to Obtain an Activation Code Using AppUploader

Introduction

When using the AppUploader tool, if your account status has expired, you need to obtain a new activation code to continue using it. This article explains how to get an activation code from the AppUploader main page, as well as the complete steps to query and activate your account.

1. Expired Status

After logging into the AppUploader main page, click the “Activate” button at the top right. An activation window will pop up (indicating that your status has expired).
This means your current activation code is invalid and a new one is required.

Developers new to iOS certificates may first familiarize themselves with certificate types and functions before activating the account.
