Asc Review Detail

asc version-review-detail

Manage App Store review information (contact details + demo account) for a version. Required before submission — the App Review team needs contact info to reach you if there's an issue.

Commands

get — fetch current review info

asc version-review-detail get --version-id <VERSION_ID> [--pretty]

Returns an empty record (id: "") when review info has never been set.

update — set or update review info (upsert)

asc version-review-detail update --version-id <VERSION_ID> \
  [--contact-first-name <name>] \
  [--contact-last-name <name>] \
  [--contact-phone <phone>] \
  [--contact-email <email>] \
  [--demo-account-required <true|false>] \
  [--demo-account-name <username>] \
  [--demo-account-password <password>] \
  [--notes <text>]

Upsert: Creates a new record if none exists (POST), patches the existing one if it does (PATCH). Only supplied flags are sent — unspecified fields are left unchanged on an existing record.

Typical Pre-Submission Workflow

# 1. Check what's currently set
asc version-review-detail get --version-id <VERSION_ID> --pretty

# 2. Set contact info (minimum to clear reviewContactCheck warning)
asc version-review-detail update --version-id <VERSION_ID> \
  --contact-first-name Jane \
  --contact-email dev@example.com \
  --contact-phone "+1-555-0100"

# 3. If app requires a demo account
asc version-review-detail update --version-id <VERSION_ID> \
  --demo-account-required true \
  --demo-account-name demo_user \
  --demo-account-password "secret" \
  --notes "Tap 'Sign In' then use the credentials above"

# 4. Verify check-readiness passes reviewContactCheck
asc versions check-readiness --version-id <VERSION_ID> --pretty

# 5. Submit
asc versions submit --version-id <VERSION_ID>

JSON Output Shape

Nil optional fields (contactFirstName, contactEmail, demoAccountName, notes, etc.) are omitted from JSON output.

Reading reviewContactCheck in check-readiness

"reviewContactCheck": { "pass": false, "message": "Review contact info is missing" }

This is a SHOULD FIX warning — it does NOT block isReadyToSubmit. Fix it with:

# Copy updateReviewDetail affordance from version-review-detail get output
asc version-review-detail update --version-id <id> --contact-email dev@example.com --contact-phone "+1-555-0100"

Key Computed Properties

hasContact feeds reviewContactCheck.pass in asc versions check-readiness.
