Asc Build Lifecycle

rudrankriyam/app-store-connect-cli-skills

If you're babysitting App Store Connect builds, this gives you command-line control over the whole lifecycle. You can find the latest build for a version, check processing status, and most usefully, bulk-expire old builds with a dry run preview before committing. The skill steers you toward the end-to-end publish commands with built-in waiting rather than manual upload-then-wait workflows. Honestly most valuable for cleanup, the expire-all command with --older-than 90d keeps your build list from becoming archaeological. Supports polling with configurable intervals if you need to block on processing.

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
- The command scans the full processed-build history and in-flight uploads, then returns one greater than the highest positive numeric build number. Blank or non-numeric processed build numbers are skipped with a warning; if no usable number remains, it falls back to --initial-build-number.
Recent builds:
- asc builds list --app "APP_ID" --sort -uploadedDate --limit 10

Inspect processing state

asc builds info --build-id "BUILD_ID"
TestFlight state in one call: asc builds info --build-id "BUILD_ID" --include buildBetaDetail,betaAppReviewSubmission,betaGroups --output json. A build never submitted for beta review has no betaAppReviewSubmissions entry in included.
