Asc Metadata Sync

This handles the full App Store Connect metadata workflow, from pulling canonical JSON files to validating and pushing changes back to ASC. The modern approach uses `asc metadata pull/push` with separate JSON files for app-level and version-level fields, which is cleaner than juggling `.strings` files or fastlane's legacy directory structure. The validation step catches field length violations before you hit the API, and dry-run modes let you preview exactly what will change. If you're still managing App Store metadata by hand in the web console or wrestling with old fastlane setups, this gives you a proper version-controlled workflow with explicit commands for keywords, localizations, and quick field updates.

asc metadata sync

Use this skill to keep App Store metadata in sync with App Store Connect. Prefer the canonical asc metadata workflow for app-info and version localization fields. Use the lower-level asc localizations and asc migrate commands only when the user specifically needs .strings files or legacy fastlane-format metadata.

Current canonical workflow

1. Pull canonical metadata

asc metadata pull --app "APP_ID" --version "1.2.3" --platform IOS --dir "./metadata"

If the app has multiple app-info records, resolve the app-info ID first and pass it explicitly:

asc apps info list --app "APP_ID" --output table
asc metadata pull --app "APP_ID" --app-info "APP_INFO_ID" --version "1.2.3" --platform IOS --dir "./metadata"

2. Edit local files

Canonical files are written under:

metadata/app-info/<locale>.json for app-level fields: name, subtitle, privacyPolicyUrl, privacyChoicesUrl, privacyPolicyText
metadata/version/<version>/<locale>.json for version fields: description, keywords, marketingUrl, promotionalText, supportUrl, whatsNew
