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
• Recent builds:
  • asc builds list --app "APP_ID" --sort -uploadedDate --limit 10

Inspect processing state

• asc builds info --build-id "BUILD_ID"

Distribution flows

• Prefer end-to-end:
  • asc publish testflight --app "APP_ID" --ipa "./app.ipa" --group "GROUP_ID" --wait
  • asc 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 upload prepares upload operations only; use asc publish for end-to-end flows.
• For long processing times, use --wait, --poll-interval, and --timeout where supported.
