asc-id-resolver FAQ

What output format should I use?

JSON is the default and best for parsing. Use `--output table` or `--output markdown` for human viewing, and `--pretty` for debugging JSON output.

How do I avoid missing IDs in list results?

Always use `--paginate` on list commands to fetch all results, not just the first page.

Can I set a default app ID to avoid repeating it?

Yes, set the `ASC_APP_ID` environment variable to use it as the default for commands that need an app ID.

How do I find the most recent build?

Use `asc builds info --app "APP_ID" --latest --version "1.2.3" --platform IOS` to get the latest build for a specific version and platform.

What if I only know the bundle ID, not the app name?

Use `asc apps list --bundle-id "com.example.app"` to resolve the app ID from the bundle identifier.
