Appstore Crash Insights

App Store Crash Insights

Fetch, analyze, and summarize TestFlight crash reports, beta feedback, and performance diagnostics.

Workflow

1. Resolve app ID with asc apps list if missing.
2. Resolve build ID when diagnostics need one.
3. Fetch JSON with the narrowest useful command.
4. Group by severity/frequency and summarize in human terms.

Commands

Crashes:

asc testflight crashes list --app "APP_ID" --sort -createdDate --limit 10
asc testflight crashes list --app "APP_ID" --build "BUILD_ID" --sort -createdDate --limit 10
asc testflight crashes list --app "APP_ID" --device-model "iPhone16,2" --os-version "18.0"
asc testflight crashes list --app "APP_ID" --paginate

Feedback:

asc testflight feedback list --app "APP_ID" --sort -createdDate --limit 10
asc testflight feedback list --app "APP_ID" --sort -createdDate --limit 10 --include-screenshots
asc testflight feedback list --app "APP_ID" --build "BUILD_ID" --sort -createdDate
asc testflight feedback list --app "APP_ID" --paginate

Performance diagnostics:

asc builds info --app "APP_ID" --latest --platform IOS
asc builds list --app "APP_ID" --sort -uploadedDate --limit 5
asc performance diagnostics list --build "BUILD_ID"
asc performance diagnostics list --build "BUILD_ID" --diagnostic-type "HANGS"
asc performance diagnostics view --id "SIGNATURE_ID"
asc performance download --build "BUILD_ID" --output ./metrics.json

Diagnostic types: HANGS, DISK_WRITES, LAUNCHES.

Resolve IDs with asc apps list --name "AppName", asc apps list --bundle-id "com.example.app", or export ASC_APP_ID="APP_ID".

Summary

Report total count, top crash signatures, affected builds, device/OS breakdown, timeline/spikes, and highest-weight performance signatures. Output defaults are TTY-aware: interactive terminals use tables, while pipes, files, and CI use JSON. Pass --output json explicitly for automation, use table/markdown for quick human review, --paginate for full analysis, and --pretty for JSON debugging. ASC crash data can lag 24-48h.
