# asc id resolver

## Iron Law

**NEVER PASS A HUMAN-READABLE NAME TO AN ASC COMMAND THAT REQUIRES AN ID — RESOLVE THE ID FIRST**

Use this skill to map names to IDs needed by other commands.

## App ID
- By bundle ID or name:
  - `asc apps list --bundle-id "com.example.app"`
  - `asc apps list --name "My App"`
- Fetch everything:
  - `asc apps --paginate`
- Set default:
  - `ASC_APP_ID=...`

## Build ID
- Latest build:
  - `asc builds latest --app "APP_ID" --version "1.2.3" --platform IOS`
- Recent builds:
  - `asc builds list --app "APP_ID" --sort -uploadedDate --limit 5`

## Version ID
- `asc versions list --app "APP_ID" --paginate`

## TestFlight IDs
- Groups:
  - `asc beta-groups list --app "APP_ID" --paginate`
- Testers:
  - `asc beta-testers list --app "APP_ID" --paginate`

## Pre-release version IDs
- `asc pre-release-versions list --app "APP_ID" --platform IOS --paginate`

## Review submission IDs
- `asc review submissions-list --app "APP_ID" --paginate`

## Output tips
- JSON is default; use `--pretty` for debug.
- For human viewing, use `--output table` or `--output markdown`.

## Guardrails
- Prefer `--paginate` on list commands to avoid missing IDs.
- Use `--sort` where available to make results deterministic.
