READMESKILL.md - Asc Build Lifecycle
# 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" --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.
