check-status

Get app info, active edit status, and suggest next actions.

When to use

Use this as your starting point before any operation. If you don't know whether an app has an active edit, run this first. For actual publishing, prefer xingu +publish (fast) or the full-release workflow.

Parameters

Name	Required	Description
app_id	yes	The application ID

Preconditions

• Auth configured (xingu auth login completed)

Command

xingu +status <app_id>

Interpreting the result

• Edit with status DRAFT: the app has an open edit ready for changes.
• Edit with status IN_REVIEW: submission is pending Amazon review.
• No active edit (empty or null): you need to create one before making changes.

Error handling

• Exit code 2 (auth): Run xingu auth login to refresh credentials.
• Exit code 4 (network): Check connectivity, retry with --timeout 60.
• API error 404: The app_id may be incorrect. Verify it in the Amazon Developer Console.

Next steps

• No active edit → xingu edits create <app_id>
• Edit in DRAFT → xingu apks upload, xingu +update-listing, or xingu images upload
• Edit in DRAFT and ready → xingu edits commit <app_id> <edit_id>
• Edit in IN_REVIEW → wait for Amazon review or xingu edits delete <app_id> <edit_id>
