App Store Connect CLI

Use when running or designing asc commands.

Discovery

• Start with --help: asc --help, asc builds --help, asc builds list --help.
• Use deterministic command search:
• asc search "submit app for review"
• asc search --output table "upload build"
• Inspect bundled ASC schemas before API-facing commands:
• asc schema --pretty "GET /v1/apps"
• asc schema --method POST appStoreVersions
• Explain workflow coverage:
• asc capabilities --area release --output table
• asc capabilities --status not-public-api --output markdown

Command Rules

• Prefer current verbs shown by help: view for reads, edit for update-only availability, and set only where the CLI models replacement/configuration.
• Use explicit long flags in automation.
• Destructive operations require --confirm.
• Use --paginate only when all pages are needed.
• Output defaults are TTY-aware: table interactively, JSON when piped/non-interactive.
• Use --output table/markdown for humans; --pretty only with JSON.

Examples:

asc apps view --id "APP_ID"
asc versions view --version-id "VERSION_ID"
asc pricing availability edit --app "APP_ID" --territory "USA,GBR" --available true
asc xcode version edit --build-number "42"

Auth

Prefer asc auth login. Env fallback: ASC_KEY_ID, ASC_ISSUER_ID, ASC_PRIVATE_KEY_PATH, ASC_PRIVATE_KEY, ASC_PRIVATE_KEY_B64. ASC_APP_ID can provide the default app. For unclear key permissions, inspect asc web auth capabilities or --key-id.

Apple Ads

Apple Ads uses asc ads auth, --ads-profile, and ASC_ADS_*, not ASC API credentials. Run asc ads --help, resolve orgs with asc ads acls --output json, pass --org or ASC_ADS_ORG_ID, and use --file JSON payloads for body commands. Destructive/bulk deletes require --confirm. For live mutation tests, create paused resources with clear test names and delete the parent campaign.

Timeouts

ASC_TIMEOUT / ASC_TIMEOUT_SECONDS control request timeouts. ASC_UPLOAD_TIMEOUT / ASC_UPLOAD_TIMEOUT_SECONDS control uploads.
