@Dimillian

Let me get this straight: I gave Codex full App Store Connect power with @rudrank ASC CLI. I went from having NOTHING configured to having an app in TestFlight public beta review in UNDER 2 minutes. The agent literally did everything itself. Insane. My mind is blown.

An Tran
@antranapp

I can't recommend App Store Connect CLI by @rudrank enough. I'm using it more and more in my workflow now. Just migrated my workflow to upload a build to TestFlight from fastlane to ASC CLI 🤟

Daniel Storm
@DanielStormApps

Used asc cli with cc to just localize my apps metadata to every supported language. This would have taken forever not too long ago.

Thank you for creating such a brilliant open source tool. We have already integrated it into our deployment workflow and agent bot.

David Dias
@TheDavidDias

I want to give a big shoutout to @rudrank! A few days ago, he launched one of the most incredible project for iOS mobile developers! app-store-connect-cli-skills already saved me hours (not kidding) to create new pricing, create new events, and check what I was missing for more visibility. This is not just an open-source project, it's the best ALL iOS developers should install AND star!

Considering plugging openclaw to this repo and see if I can make some magic.

@schiquiri

Just used @rudrank's AppStore Connect CLI and it's come in pretty clutch. I needed to setup 3 apps and wasn't excited to fill out the details for each one of them. Had Claude do it in a few minutes 👌🏾

Mason
@masoncaiws

For the first time ever, I've completed an App Store submission without even opening App Store Connect website. Huge thanks to @rudrank's App Store Connect CLI and Skills. They allowed me to automate the entire submission process using Skills + Agents.

You know is a big pain when this kind of this happens. Thanks for solving it, app store connect is a nightmare.

John

Tried this today and it's great. I honestly hate going anywhere near the apple developer website, so just get claude to do it lmao.

Trying out the cli to automate some boring tasks and I love it! Great work.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about the App Store Connect CLI.

How do I install asc, the App Store Connect CLI?
Install via Homebrew with `brew install asc` (recommended for macOS), or use the install script: `curl -fsSL https://asccli.sh/install | bash` (macOS and Linux). You can also build from source by cloning the GitHub repository and running `make build`.
What can asc automate in App Store Connect?
asc automates the entire App Store Connect workflow: TestFlight build distribution, build uploads (IPA/PKG), App Store review submissions with preflight checks, code signing (certificates, provisioning profiles, bundle IDs), screenshot and app preview management, metadata and localization sync, Xcode Cloud workflows, release dashboards, and more. It covers 1,200+ API endpoints across 80+ command groups.
Does asc work with CI/CD pipelines?
Yes. asc has official integrations for GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Bitrise, and CircleCI. It’s non-interactive by design with JSON output, making it ideal for automated pipelines.
How is asc different from Fastlane?
asc is a single Go binary with zero dependencies. No Ruby, no Bundler, no Gemfile. It covers every official App Store Connect API endpoint (1,200+), which Fastlane does not. It starts instantly, produces deterministic JSON output, and works well with AI agents. Fastlane requires a Ruby environment and only covers a subset of the API.
Is asc free and open source?
Yes. asc is completely free and open source under the MIT license. The source code is on GitHub.
Does asc support AI agents and coding assistants?
Yes. asc is agent-native with 13+ pre-built skills for AI coding assistants like Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and others. Install them with `asc install-skills` or `npx skills add rudrankriyam/app-store-connect-cli-skills`. The CLI produces structured JSON output that agents can parse directly.
