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.
