If a download is available (Download to Apple AppStore check box is selected), then by clicking Download, the builder will attempt to perform the download. With this in mind, the username and password for accessing iTunes Connect is used. It can be specified in the provider settings dialog box on the Parameters for OS iOS tab (if set by the builder administrator) or in the Service dialog box ‑ Parameters of access to iTunes Connect (if the publication can be done by a regular user).
Publishing is done using the Mac computer on which the mobile application was built.

The document containing the download log will be opened. The log is not saved in the infobase and will be lost after the loading window is closed.
