Asc Metadata Sync

rudrankriyam/app-store-connect-cli-skills

This is the skill you want if you're managing App Store metadata programmatically and need to keep local files in sync with App Store Connect. It uses a canonical JSON format for app-info and version localizations, validates everything before upload, and supports dry-run previews so you don't push garbage. The workflow is pull, edit, validate, push. It also handles legacy fastlane metadata migration and lower-level .strings files if you need them, but the modern path is cleaner. Character limits are baked into validation. Honestly, the command surface is large, but the common case of syncing descriptions and keywords is straightforward once you pick between metadata pull/push versus the lower-level localization commands.

Files

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
