Orchestrate App Store releases with asc, including staging a version, uploading or building an artifact, publishing, and submitting for review. Use when the user wants to prepare or execute a release. Keep Game Center item preparation in this skill; route other readiness failures, stuck submissions, cancellation, and retry decisions to asc-submission-health.
Diagnose App Store submission blockers and operate review health with asc, including readiness validation, repair routing, status monitoring, cancellation, and retry decisions. Use when validation fails, a version is not in a valid state, review status is unclear or stuck, or a failed submission must be repaired and retried. For staging, upload, publication, and submission execution, use asc-release-flow.
Build, archive, generate export options, export, upload, and manage Xcode version/build numbers with the current asc xcode helpers before App Store Connect upload or submission. Use when creating an IPA or PKG for upload.
Reconcile App Store Connect subscriptions and in-app purchases with RevenueCat products, entitlements, offerings, and packages using asc and RevenueCat MCP. Use when setting up or syncing subscription catalogs across ASC and RevenueCat.
Resolve App Store Connect IDs (apps, builds, app and digital-goods versions, groups, testers) from human-friendly names using asc. Use when commands require IDs.
Set territory-specific pricing for subscriptions and in-app purchases using current asc setup, pricing summary, price import, and price schedule commands. Use when adjusting prices by country or implementing localized PPP strategies.

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.
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"
Canonical files are written under:
metadata/app-info/<locale>.json for app-level fields: name, subtitle, privacyPolicyUrl, privacyChoicesUrl, privacyPolicyTextmetadata/version/<version>/<locale>.json for version fields: description, keywords, marketingUrl, promotionalText, supportUrl, whatsNewCopyright is not a localization field. Manage it with:
asc versions update --version-id "VERSION_ID" --copyright "2026 Your Company"
asc metadata validate --dir "./metadata" --output table
For subscription apps, include the extra Terms of Use / EULA heuristic:
asc metadata validate --dir "./metadata" --subscription-app --output table
Run a dry run first:
asc metadata push --app "APP_ID" --version "1.2.3" --platform IOS --dir "./metadata" --dry-run --output table
Apply after the plan looks correct:
asc metadata push --app "APP_ID" --version "1.2.3" --platform IOS --dir "./metadata"
Use asc metadata apply when the user wants the apply-named command shape for the same canonical files:
asc metadata apply --app "APP_ID" --version "1.2.3" --platform IOS --dir "./metadata" --dry-run
asc metadata apply --app "APP_ID" --version "1.2.3" --platform IOS --dir "./metadata"
For a review-artifact workflow with explicit approval before mutation, use the metadata review commands introduced in asc 2.6.1:
asc metadata plan --app "APP_ID" --version "1.2.3" --platform IOS --dir "./metadata" --review-dir ".asc/metadata/review"
asc metadata approve --review-dir ".asc/metadata/review" --all
asc metadata status --review-dir ".asc/metadata/review" --output table
asc metadata apply --app "APP_ID" --version "1.2.3" --platform IOS --dir "./metadata" --review-dir ".asc/metadata/review" --confirm
Use asc metadata approve --key "version:en-US:whatsNew" or --scope app-info,version when the user wants selective approval artifacts before the guarded apply.
Use this when only the version-localization keywords field should change:
asc metadata keywords diff --app "APP_ID" --version "1.2.3" --platform IOS --dir "./metadata"
asc metadata keywords apply --app "APP_ID" --version "1.2.3" --platform IOS --dir "./metadata" --confirm
For importing keyword research:
asc metadata keywords import --dir "./metadata" --version "1.2.3" --locale "en-US" --input "./keywords.csv"
asc metadata keywords sync --app "APP_ID" --version "1.2.3" --platform IOS --dir "./metadata" --input "./keywords.csv"
For one-off version-localization edits, pass an explicit version selector. Use --version-id for deterministic updates when you already have it, or --version plus --platform when working from a version string.
asc apps info edit --app "APP_ID" --version-id "VERSION_ID" --locale "en-US" --whats-new "Bug fixes and improvements"
asc apps info edit --app "APP_ID" --version "1.2.3" --platform IOS --locale "en-US" --description "Your app description here"
asc apps info edit --app "APP_ID" --version "1.2.3" --platform IOS --locale "en-US" --keywords "keyword1,keyword2,keyword3"
asc apps info edit --app "APP_ID" --version "1.2.3" --platform IOS --locale "en-US" --support-url "https://support.example.com"
For app-info fields, prefer the post-create setup command:
asc app-setup info set --app "APP_ID" --primary-locale "en-US" --privacy-policy-url "https://example.com/privacy"
asc app-setup info set --app "APP_ID" --locale "en-US" --name "Your App Name" --subtitle "Your subtitle"
Use .strings files when the user specifically wants import/export files instead of canonical JSON:
asc localizations list --version "VERSION_ID" --output table
asc localizations download --version "VERSION_ID" --path "./localizations"
asc localizations upload --version "VERSION_ID" --path "./localizations" --dry-run
asc localizations upload --version "VERSION_ID" --path "./localizations"
For app-info localizations:
asc apps info list --app "APP_ID" --output table
asc localizations list --app "APP_ID" --type app-info --app-info "APP_INFO_ID" --output table
asc localizations download --app "APP_ID" --type app-info --app-info "APP_INFO_ID" --path "./app-info-localizations"
asc localizations upload --app "APP_ID" --type app-info --app-info "APP_INFO_ID" --path "./app-info-localizations" --dry-run
asc localizations upload --app "APP_ID" --type app-info --app-info "APP_INFO_ID" --path "./app-info-localizations"
Use this only for existing fastlane-format trees:
asc migrate export --app "APP_ID" --version-id "VERSION_ID" --output-dir "./fastlane"
asc migrate validate --fastlane-dir "./fastlane"
asc migrate import --app "APP_ID" --version-id "VERSION_ID" --fastlane-dir "./fastlane" --dry-run
asc migrate import --app "APP_ID" --version-id "VERSION_ID" --fastlane-dir "./fastlane"
