Reproducible Demo

• init blank typescript
• build & upload to ios

Just reporting in that I got this too. The upload seems to still work after inputting the password twice.

[pwever]

Agreed. Only a minor annoyance, but I am experiencing this issue as well.

[LinusU]

When running in non-interactive mode it doesn't try again with the same password, but simply fails the script. This is currently making our automated delivery fail, and we have to manually run expo upload:ios to be able to paste the password in two times...

[rnkyr]

got the same situation as @LinusU

any updates here?

I'm in the same boat. I'm using Github actions with expo/expo-github-action@v5. The expo build:ios command works great with apple account info. However, if I try the upload:ios command and use my apple credentials it errors out because of 2FA. When I use the app specific password, it errors out with invalid apple credentials.

- run: expo upload:ios --non-interactive --apple-id $EXPO_APPLE_ID --apple-id-password $EXPO_APPLE_PASSWORD
        env:
          EXPO_APPLE_ID: ${{secrets.EXPO_APPLE_ID}}
          EXPO_APPLE_PASSWORD: ${{secrets.APP_SPECIFIC_PASSWORD }}

[eladtaranis]

Same here (Invalid credentials when using App Specific passwords).

Any update on this one?

[LinusU]

@eladtaranis did you try entering the same password twice? That works for me
