App Store Connect CLI

App Store Connect CLI

Overview

Use this skill when the task is App Store Connect automation from the terminal. Prefer explicit, non-interactive asc commands with full flags so commands are scriptable and reproducible.

Official project:

• rudrankriyam/App-Store-Connect-CLI

Workflow

1. Verify availability and version:
   • command -v asc
   • asc --version
2. Install or update asc if needed (Homebrew preferred on macOS):
   • brew tap rudrankriyam/tap
   • brew install rudrankriyam/tap/asc
   • brew upgrade rudrankriyam/tap/asc (for updates)
3. Set up authentication with an App Store Connect API key profile:
   • asc auth login --name "MyApp" --key-id "ABC123" --issuer-id "DEF456" --private-key /path/to/AuthKey.p8
   • Validate: asc auth status --validate
4. Run task-specific commands with explicit filters and output format:
   • Default output is minified JSON for automation.
   • Use --output table for terminal readability.
   • Use --output markdown for docs.
5. For CI or strict automation:
   • Use --strict-auth to fail on mixed auth sources.
   • Use --paginate when full result sets are required.

Authentication Rules

• Never echo or print private key contents.
• Prefer --private-key /path/to/AuthKey.p8 over raw key material.
• Keep separate profiles per app/client and switch with:
  • asc auth switch --name "ProfileName"
• For diagnostics:
  • asc auth doctor
  • asc auth doctor --fix --confirm (only when explicitly intended)

Command Reference

• Read references/quick-reference.md for common command patterns.

Notes

• Prefer stable identifiers (app IDs, build IDs, group IDs) over name matching where possible.
• In automation scripts, keep output JSON and parse with jq.
• When the user asks for "latest", include explicit dates from returned data in the final response.
