ASC Release Flow

name: asc-release-flow description: End-to-end release workflows for TestFlight and App Store using asc publish, builds, versions, and submit commands. Use when asked to upload a build, distribute to TestFlight, or submit to App Store.

Release flow (TestFlight and App Store)

Use this skill when you need to get a new build into TestFlight or submit to the App Store.

Preconditions

Ensure credentials are set (asc auth login or ASC_* env vars).

Use a new build number for each upload.

Prefer ASC_APP_ID or pass --app explicitly.

Preferred end-to-end commands

TestFlight:

- asc publish testflight --app --ipa --group [,] - Optional: --wait, --notify, --platform, --poll-interval, --timeout

App Store:

- asc publish appstore --app --ipa --version - Optional: --wait, --submit --confirm, --platform, --poll-interval, --timeout

Manual sequence (when you need more control)

1. Upload the build: - asc builds upload --app --ipa 2. Find the build ID if needed: - asc builds latest --app [--version ] [--platform ] 3. TestFlight distribution: - asc builds add-groups --build --group [,] 4. App Store attach + submit: - asc versions attach-build --version-id --build - asc submit create --app --version --build --confirm 5. Check or cancel submission: - asc submit status --id or --version-id - asc submit cancel --id --confirm

Notes

Always use --help to verify flags for the exact command.

Use --output table / --output markdown for human-readable output; default is JSON.
