npx skills add rorkai/app-store-connect-cli-skills --skill asc-build-lifecycleThe open skills CLI detects your agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and 70+ more) and installs to the right folder. Add -g to install globally.
01
Install it
Run the command above, or upload the folder in Claude.
02
Ask naturally

If it does not trigger, say “use the asc-build-lifecycle skill”. In Codex, type $asc-build-lifecycle.
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 nobetaAppReviewSubmissionsentry inincluded.
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
Cleanup
- Preview expiration:
asc builds expire-all --app "APP_ID" --older-than 90d --dry-run
- Apply expiration:
asc builds expire-all --app "APP_ID" --older-than 90d --confirm
- Single build:
asc builds expire --build-id "BUILD_ID" --confirm
Notes
asc builds uploaduploads and commits an IPA or PKG. Useasc publishwhen the workflow must also distribute to TestFlight or stage an App Store release.- For long processing times, use
--wait,--poll-interval, and--timeoutwhere supported.
