Description
Track build processing, find latest builds, and clean up old builds with asc. Use when managing build retention or waiting on processing.

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"

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.
