asc-build-lifecycle is a mobile release skill that helps developers track iOS build processing, find approved builds, increment build numbers, and clean up old builds using the asc CLI against App Store Connect.
About
asc-build-lifecycle is a skill for the asc App Store Connect CLI that covers the full iOS build lifecycle from upload through processing and retention. It documents commands such as `asc builds info --latest`, `asc builds next-build-number`, and `asc builds list --sort -uploadedDate` for locating the right build per app version and platform. Developers use it to inspect processing state by build ID and manage distribution flows without clicking through the App Store Connect web UI. Reach for asc-build-lifecycle when waiting on build processing, determining the next safe build number for version 1.2.3 on IOS, or pruning stale uploads before a TestFlight or App Store release.
- Find latest build with version and platform filters
- Calculate next safe build number automatically
- Inspect real-time processing state for any build ID
- End-to-end publish commands for TestFlight and App Store with --wait
- Bulk expire builds older than N days with dry-run preview

How do you check iOS build processing in App Store Connect?
Track iOS build processing status, locate the latest approved build, increment build numbers safely, and clean up old builds in App Store Connect.
Who is it for?
iOS developers automating App Store Connect build lookup, numbering, and cleanup through the asc CLI during release cycles.
Skip if: Android Play Console workflows or teams managing only local Xcode builds without App Store Connect upload and processing steps.
When should I use this skill?
The user mentions asc CLI, iOS build processing status, next build number, build retention cleanup, or waiting on App Store Connect processing.
What you get
Latest build metadata, next build number, processing status by build ID, and cleaned-up build retention list.
- Build status report
- Next build number
- Build retention cleanup actions
Files
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- 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
Notes
asc builds uploadprepares upload operations only; useasc publishfor end-to-end flows.- For long processing times, use
--wait,--poll-interval, and--timeoutwhere supported.

FAQ
How does asc-build-lifecycle find the latest iOS build?
asc-build-lifecycle uses `asc builds info --app APP_ID --latest --version VERSION --platform IOS` to retrieve the most recent build for a given app version. Developers can also list recent uploads sorted by uploaded date.
How do you get the next safe iOS build number with asc?
asc-build-lifecycle calls `asc builds next-build-number --app APP_ID --version VERSION --platform IOS` to calculate the next unused build number. That prevents upload conflicts when submitting a new binary to App Store Connect.
