Moved the "alternative" text to the front add more clarity that only one set is needed. Updated the link to the API key page to take you directly to where you need to be. Before it was dumping you on some user page.

- `APPLE_API_ISSUER`, `APPLE_API_KEY` and `APPLE_API_KEY_PATH`: alternatively, you can authenticate using an App Store Connect API key. Open the App Store Connect's [Users and Access page], select the `Keys` tab, click on the `Add` button and select a name and the `Developer` access. The `APPLE_API_ISSUER` (`Issuer ID`) is presented above the keys table, and the `APPLE_API_KEY` is the value on the `Key ID` column on that table. You also need to download the private key, which can only be done once and is only visible after a page reload (the button is shown on the table row for the newly created key). The private key file path must be set via the `APPLE_API_KEY_PATH` environment variable.
