- 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" --waitasc 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
