App Store Submission (API-first)

Submit a native iOS/iPadOS app to the App Store with the App Store Connect (ASC) API and the Xcode command line, doing as much as possible programmatically. This skill captures a complete, repeatable workflow plus the non-obvious blockers that waste hours.

Use the bundled scripts in scripts/. Per-project values and the metadata copy go in the project's .env (see .env.example) and the template at the end of this doc. Placeholders below use <ANGLE_BRACKETS> — replace them with your own values.

What the API CAN and CANNOT do

API can: create/read the app record, set category & pricing, set version metadata (description, keywords, subtitle, promo text, support/marketing URLs, copyright, privacyPolicyUrl), create the App Review contact, upload builds (via altool), attach a build, upload screenshots, create a review submission, and submit for review.
