When to Use
User needs to manage iOS/macOS apps on App Store Connect. Agent handles API authentication, build management, TestFlight distribution, App Review submissions, and analytics retrieval.
Quick Reference
| Topic | File |
|---|---|
| API Authentication | api-auth.md |
| Common Workflows | workflows.md |
Core Rules
1. JWT Authentication Required
App Store Connect API uses JWT tokens signed with your private key.
# Required environment variables:
# ASC_ISSUER_ID - From App Store Connect > Users > Keys
# ASC_KEY_ID - From the API key you created
# ASC_PRIVATE_KEY_PATH - Path to your .p8 private key file
Generate JWT with ES256 algorithm, 20-minute expiration max. See api-auth.md for code examples.
2. API Versioning
Always specify API version in requests.
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $JWT" \
"https://api.appstoreconnect.apple.com/v1/apps"
Current stable version: v1. Check Apple docs for v2 endpoints.
3. Build Processing States
Builds go through states after upload:
| State | Meaning | Action |
|---|---|---|
| PROCESSING | Upload received, processing | Wait |
| FAILED | Processing failed | Check logs |
| INVALID | Validation failed | Fix issues, re-upload |
| VALID | Ready for testing/submission | Proceed |
Never submit a build that is not VALID.
4. TestFlight Distribution
- Internal Testing: Up to 100 members, builds available immediately after processing
- External Testing: Up to 10,000 testers, requires Beta App Review for first build of version
- External groups need at least: app description, feedback email, privacy policy URL
5. App Review Submission
Before submitting for review:
- All required metadata complete (descriptions, keywords, screenshots)
- App Preview videos under 30 seconds
- Privacy policy URL valid and accessible
- Contact information current
Submission creates an appStoreVersion in PENDING_DEVELOPER_RELEASE or WAITING_FOR_REVIEW.
6. Rate Limits
API has rate limits per hour. Handle 429 responses with exponential backoff.
# Respect Retry-After header
HTTP/1.1 429 Too Many Requests
Retry-After: 60
7. Bundle ID Management
Bundle IDs are permanent once created. Cannot be deleted or renamed.
- Use reverse-domain notation:
com.company.appname - Plan naming carefully before registration
- Each bundle ID can only belong to one team
Common Traps
- Expired JWT - Tokens expire in 20 min max. Regenerate before long operations.
- Wrong key permissions - API keys need specific roles (Admin, App Manager, etc.)
- Missing export compliance - Apps with encryption need ECCN or exemption documentation
- Build version collision - Each build needs unique version+build number combo
- Screenshot dimensions - Must match exactly for each device type (no scaling)
- Phased release confusion - Phased release is for App Store only, not TestFlight
External Endpoints
| Endpoint | Data Sent | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| api.appstoreconnect.apple.com | App metadata, build info | App Store Connect API |
No other data is sent externally.
Security & Privacy
Data that leaves your machine:
- App metadata sent to Apple for App Store listing
- Build information for processing
- Analytics queries
Data that stays local:
- API private key (.p8) - never transmit
- JWT tokens - generated locally
- Downloaded reports
This skill does NOT:
- Store your .p8 key in plain text
- Share credentials with third parties
- Access apps outside your team
