asc-build-lifecycle
Query, monitor, and expire builds in App Store Connect with asc command-line tools.
- Find builds by version, platform, or upload date; inspect processing state and build details with dedicated query commands
- Manage build retention by previewing and applying expiration policies based on age thresholds, with dry-run support
- Publish directly to TestFlight or App Store with end-to-end workflows including optional polling, submission, and confirmation flags
- Distinguish between
asc builds upload(preparation only) andasc publish(full distribution pipeline) for correct workflow selection
asc build lifecycle
Use this skill to manage build state, processing, and retention.
Find the right build
- Latest build:
asc builds info --app "APP_ID" --latest --version "1.2.3" --platform IOS
- Next safe build number:
asc builds next-build-number --app "APP_ID" --version "1.2.3" --platform IOS
- Recent builds:
asc builds list --app "APP_ID" --sort -uploadedDate --limit 10
Inspect processing state
asc builds info --build-id "BUILD_ID"
Distribution flows
- Prefer end-to-end:
asc publish testflight --app "APP_ID" --ipa "./app.ipa" --group "GROUP_ID" --waitasc publish appstore --app "APP_ID" --ipa "./app.ipa" --version "1.2.3" --wait --submit --confirm
