# asc-client
A command-line tool for the [App Store Connect API](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstoreconnectapi), built with Swift.
> **Note:** This is an early prototype focused on app version workflows -- creating versions, managing localizations, uploading screenshots, and submitting for review. More API coverage is planned but not yet implemented.
## Requirements
- macOS 13+
- Swift 6.0+
## Installation
### Build from source
```bash
git clone https://github.com/keremerkan/asc-client.git
cd asc-client
swift build -c release
strip .build/release/asc-client
cp .build/release/asc-client /usr/local/bin/
```
> **Note:** The release build takes a few minutes due to ~2500 generated API files. `strip` removes debug symbols, reducing the binary from ~175 MB to ~59 MB.
### Shell completions
Enable tab completion for subcommands, options, and flags:
**zsh** (default on macOS):
```bash
mkdir -p ~/.zfunc
asc-client --generate-completion-script zsh > ~/.zfunc/_asc-client
```
Add this to your `~/.zshrc` if not already present:
```bash
fpath=(~/.zfunc $fpath)
autoload -Uz compinit && compinit
```
**bash**:
```bash
asc-client --generate-completion-script bash > /usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d/asc-client
```
Restart your shell or open a new tab to activate.
## Setup
### 1. Create an API Key
Go to [App Store Connect > Users and Access > Integrations > App Store Connect API](https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/access/integrations/api) and generate a new key. Download the `.p8` private key file.
### 2. Configure
```bash
asc-client configure
```
This will prompt for your **Key ID**, **Issuer ID**, and the path to your `.p8` file. The private key is copied into `~/.asc-client/` with strict file permissions (owner-only access).
## Usage
### Apps
```bash
# List all apps
asc-client apps list
# Show app details
asc-client apps info <bundle-id>
# List App Store versions
asc-client apps versions <bundle-id>
# Create a new version
asc-client apps create-version <bundle-id> <version-string>
asc-client apps create-version <bundle-id> 2.1.0 --platform ios --release-type manual
# Check review submission status
asc-client apps review-status <bundle-id>
```
### Localizations
```bash
# View localizations (latest version by default)
asc-client apps localizations <bundle-id>
asc-client apps localizations <bundle-id> --version 1.2.0 --locale en-US
# Export localizations to JSON
asc-client apps export-localizations <bundle-id>
asc-client apps export-localizations <bundle-id> --version 1.2.0 --output my-localizations.json
# Update a single locale
asc-client apps update-localization <bundle-id> --whats-new "Bug fixes" --locale en-US
# Bulk update from JSON file
asc-client apps update-localizations <bundle-id> --file localizations.json
```
The JSON format for export and bulk update:
```json
{
"en-US": {
"description": "My app description.\n\nSecond paragraph.",
"whatsNew": "- Bug fixes\n- New dark mode",
"keywords": "productivity,tools,utility",
"promotionalText": "Try our new features!",
"marketingURL": "https://example.com",
"supportURL": "https://example.com/support"
},
"de-DE": {
"whatsNew": "- Fehlerbehebungen\n- Neuer Dunkelmodus"
}
}
```
Only fields present in the JSON are updated -- omitted fields are left unchanged.
### Screenshots & App Previews
```bash
# Download all screenshots and preview videos
asc-client apps download-media <bundle-id>
asc-client apps download-media <bundle-id> --folder my-media/ --version 2.1.0
# Upload screenshots and preview videos from a folder
asc-client apps upload-media <bundle-id> --folder media/
# Upload to a specific version
asc-client apps upload-media <bundle-id> --folder media/ --version 2.1.0
# Replace existing media in matching sets before uploading
asc-client apps upload-media <bundle-id> --folder media/ --replace
```
Organize your media folder with locale and display type subfolders:
```
media/
├── en-US/
│ ├── APP_IPHONE_67/
│ │ ├── 01_home.png
│ │ ├── 02_settings.png
│ │ └── preview.mp4
│ └── APP_IPAD_PRO_3GEN_129/
│ └── 01_home.png
└── de-DE/
└── APP_IPHONE_67/
├── 01_home.png
└── 02_settings.png
```
- **Level 1:** Locale (e.g. `en-US`, `de-DE`, `ja`)
- **Level 2:** Display type folder name (see table below)
- **Level 3:** Media files -- images (`.png`, `.jpg`, `.jpeg`) become screenshots, videos (`.mp4`, `.mov`) become app previews
- Files are uploaded in alphabetical order by filename
- Unsupported files are skipped with a warning

> **Note:** Watch and iMessage display types support screenshots only -- video files in those folders are skipped with a warning. The `--replace` flag deletes all existing assets in each matching set before uploading new ones.
>
> `download-media` saves files in this same folder structure (defaults to `<bundle-id>-media/`), so you can download, edit, and re-upload.
#### Verify and retry stuck media
Sometimes screenshots or previews get stuck in "processing" after upload. Use `verify-media` to check the status of all media at once and optionally retry stuck items:
```bash
# Check status of all screenshots and previews
asc-client apps verify-media <bundle-id>
# Check a specific version
asc-client apps verify-media <bundle-id> --version 2.1.0
# Retry stuck items using local files from the media folder
asc-client apps verify-media <bundle-id> --folder media/
```
Without `--folder`, the command shows a read-only status report. Sets where all items are complete show a compact one-liner; sets with stuck items expand to show each file and its state. With `--folder`, it prompts to retry stuck items by deleting them and re-uploading from the matching local files, preserving the original position order.
### Builds
```bash
# List all builds
asc-client builds list
# Filter by app
asc-client builds list --bundle-id <bundle-id>
```
