description

Manage In-App Purchases (IAPs) using the `asc` CLI tool. Use this skill when: (1) Listing IAPs: "asc iap list --app-id ID" (2) Creating IAPs: "asc iap create --type consumable|non-consumable|non-renewing-subscription" (3) Updating an IAP: "asc iap update --iap-id ID" (referenceName / reviewNote / familySharable) (4) Deleting an IAP: "asc iap delete --iap-id ID" (5) Submitting / unsubmitting: "asc iap submit", "asc iap unsubmit --submission-id ID" (6) IAP localizations: "asc iap-localizations list|create|update|delete" (7) IAP pricing: "asc iap price-points list", "asc iap prices set" (8) IAP offer codes (3 levels): "asc iap-offer-codes list/create/update", "asc iap-offer-codes prices list", custom codes, one-time codes (incl. `values` for redemption CSV) (9) IAP review screenshot: "asc iap-review-screenshot get|upload|delete" (10) IAP promotional images (1024x1024): "asc iap-images list|upload|delete" (11) User says "create in-app purchase", "list IAPs", "submit IAP", "delete IAP", "unsubmit", "IAP offer code", "custom code", "one-time codes", "redemption codes", "review screenshot", "promotional image"

asc In-App Purchases

Manage IAPs via the asc CLI.

Lifecycle

List

asc iap list --app-id <APP_ID> [--limit N] [--pretty]

Create

asc iap create \
  --app-id <APP_ID> \
  --reference-name "Gold Coins" \
  --product-id "com.app.goldcoins" \
  --type consumable

--type ∈ consumable, non-consumable, non-renewing-subscription.

Update

asc iap update --iap-id <ID> \
  [--reference-name "New Name"] \
  [--review-note "Notes for App Review"] \
  [--family-sharable | --not-family-sharable]

Delete

asc iap delete --iap-id <ID>

Submit / Unsubmit

asc iap submit --iap-id <ID>          # state must be READY_TO_SUBMIT (affordance gates this)
asc iap unsubmit --submission-id <ID> # withdraw from review; manual Request<Void>

IAP Pricing

asc iap price-points list --iap-id <ID> [--territory USA]

asc iap prices set \
  --iap-id <ID> \
  --base-territory USA \
  --price-point-id <PP>

Apple auto-equalizes other territories from the base.

IAP Localizations

asc iap-localizations list   --iap-id <ID>
asc iap-localizations create --iap-id <ID> --locale en-US --name "Gold Coins" [--description "In-game currency"]
asc iap-localizations update --localization-id <LOC> [--name "New"] [--description "..."]
asc iap-localizations delete --localization-id <LOC>

IAP Offer Codes (3-level hierarchy)

Level 1 — offer code

asc iap-offer-codes list   --iap-id <ID>
asc iap-offer-codes create --iap-id <ID> --name "FREEGEMS" \
  --eligibility NON_SPENDER --eligibility CHURNED_SPENDER \
  --price USA=pp-usa --price JPN=pp-jpn \
  --free-territory BRA --free-territory IND
asc iap-offer-codes update --offer-code-id <OC> --active false
asc iap-offer-codes prices list --offer-code-id <OC>   # per-territory pricing (read-only)

Pricing is set once, at creation. ASC's prices relationship is read-only after the offer code exists, so include every territory you want covered via --price (paid) or --free-territory. Without these flags the offer code is created with no per-territory pricing and cannot be fixed up later.

--eligibility (repeatable) ∈ NON_SPENDER, ACTIVE_SPENDER, CHURNED_SPENDER.

Level 2 — custom redeemable codes

asc iap-offer-code-custom-codes list   --offer-code-id <OC>
asc iap-offer-code-custom-codes create --offer-code-id <OC> \
  --custom-code "FREEGEMS100" --number-of-codes 500 [--expiration-date 2026-12-31]
asc iap-offer-code-custom-codes update --custom-code-id <CC> --active false

Level 3 — one-time use code batches

asc iap-offer-code-one-time-codes list   --offer-code-id <OC>
asc iap-offer-code-one-time-codes create --offer-code-id <OC> \
  --number-of-codes 3000 --expiration-date 2026-06-30 [--environment production|sandbox]
asc iap-offer-code-one-time-codes update --one-time-code-id <OTC> --active false

# Download the CSV of redemption codes (raw String — not JSON):
asc iap-offer-code-one-time-codes values --one-time-code-id <OTC>

--environment defaults to production. Sandbox batches redeem against sandbox tester accounts (≈10,000/quarter ceiling) — production batches against live App Store accounts (≈150,000/quarter ceiling). Each InAppPurchaseOfferCode reports usage against both ceilings via productionCodeCount / sandboxCodeCount, and each one-time-use code row carries its environment so you can filter:

asc iap-offer-code-one-time-codes list --offer-code-id <OC> \
  | jq '.data[] | select(.environment == "SANDBOX")'

REST equivalents:

GET    /api/v1/iap-offer-codes/{offerCodeId}/one-time-codes
POST   /api/v1/iap-offer-codes/{offerCodeId}/one-time-codes   # body: {numberOfCodes, expirationDate, environment?}
PATCH  /api/v1/iap-offer-code-one-time-codes/{oneTimeCodeId}  # body: {isActive: false}

IAP Review Assets

Review screenshot (singleton — one per IAP)

asc iap-review-screenshot get    --iap-id <ID>          # returns empty data:[] when none uploaded
asc iap-review-screenshot upload --iap-id <ID> --file ./review.png
asc iap-review-screenshot delete --screenshot-id <RS>   # suppressed while assetState == AWAITING_UPLOAD

Upload uses ASC's standard reserve → upload chunks → commit-with-MD5 protocol.

Promotional images (1024×1024, multiple per IAP)

asc iap-images list   --iap-id <ID>
asc iap-images upload --iap-id <ID> --file ./promo-1024.png
asc iap-images delete --image-id <IMG>                  # suppressed while state.isPendingReview

CAEOAS Affordances

Every IAP response embeds ready-to-run follow-up commands:

{
  "affordances": {
    "createLocalization":  "asc iap-localizations create --iap-id <ID> --locale en-US --name <name>",
    "delete":              "asc iap delete --iap-id <ID>",
    "getReviewScreenshot": "asc iap-review-screenshot get --iap-id <ID>",
    "listImages":          "asc iap-images list --iap-id <ID>",
    "listLocalizations":   "asc iap-localizations list --iap-id <ID>",
    "listOfferCodes":      "asc iap-offer-codes list --iap-id <ID>",
    "listPricePoints":     "asc iap price-points list --iap-id <ID>",
    "submit":              "asc iap submit --iap-id <ID>",
    "update":              "asc iap update --iap-id <ID> --reference-name <name>"
  }
}

submit only appears when state == READY_TO_SUBMIT. Each price point includes setPrice only when territory is known.

InAppPurchaseSubmission advertises unsubmit. InAppPurchaseLocalization advertises update + delete. InAppPurchasePromotionalImage advertises delete only when !state.isPendingReview. InAppPurchaseReviewScreenshot advertises delete only once assetState.isComplete || hasFailed.

Resolve App ID

See project-context.md — check .asc/project.json before asking the user or running asc apps list.

Typical Workflow

APP_ID=$(cat .asc/project.json 2>/dev/null | jq -r '.appId // empty')

# 1. Create + localize
IAP_ID=$(asc iap create --app-id "$APP_ID" --reference-name "Gold Coins" \
  --product-id "com.app.goldcoins" --type consumable | jq -r '.data[0].id')
asc iap-localizations create --iap-id "$IAP_ID" --locale en-US --name "Gold Coins" --description "In-game currency"
asc iap-localizations create --iap-id "$IAP_ID" --locale zh-Hans --name "金币"

# 2. Set price (Tier 1 USA, Apple auto-equalizes)
PRICE_ID=$(asc iap price-points list --iap-id "$IAP_ID" --territory USA \
  | jq -r '.data[] | select(.customerPrice == "0.99") | .id')
asc iap prices set --iap-id "$IAP_ID" --base-territory USA --price-point-id "$PRICE_ID"

# 3. Add review screenshot + promo image
asc iap-review-screenshot upload --iap-id "$IAP_ID" --file ./review.png
asc iap-images upload --iap-id "$IAP_ID" --file ./promo-1024.png

# 4. Submit
asc iap submit --iap-id "$IAP_ID"

# 5. Optional: offer code + redemption batch
OC_ID=$(asc iap-offer-codes create --iap-id "$IAP_ID" --name "LAUNCH_PROMO" \
  --eligibility NON_SPENDER --eligibility CHURNED_SPENDER | jq -r '.data[0].id')
asc iap-offer-code-one-time-codes create --offer-code-id "$OC_ID" \
  --number-of-codes 5000 --expiration-date 2026-12-31

asc iap-offer-code-one-time-codes values --one-time-code-id <OTC_ID> > codes.csv

State Semantics

InAppPurchaseState exposes semantic booleans:

Boolean	True when state is
isEditable	MISSING_METADATA, REJECTED, DEVELOPER_ACTION_NEEDED
isPendingReview	WAITING_FOR_REVIEW, IN_REVIEW
isApproved / isLive	APPROVED

IAPCustomerEligibility ∈ NON_SPENDER, ACTIVE_SPENDER, CHURNED_SPENDER.

InAppPurchaseReviewScreenshot.AssetState exposes isComplete (uploadComplete or complete) and hasFailed. InAppPurchasePromotionalImage.ImageState exposes isApproved and isPendingReview.

Nil optional fields are omitted from JSON output.
