From the project README

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 no betaAppReviewSubmissions entry in included.

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 uploads and commits an IPA or PKG. Use asc publish when the workflow must also distribute to TestFlight or stage an App Store release.
  • For long processing times, use --wait, --poll-interval, and --timeout where supported.
