  • Calls curl and brew; reaches github.com

What it does

Asc CLI is an agent skill from OpenMinis/MinisSkills. Use the asc (App Store Connect CLI) to manage iOS/macOS apps — TestFlight builds, beta groups, distribution, App Store submissions, release, user reviews, analytics reports, crash logs, and more. Triggers when user mentions "asc", "TestFlight", "beta test", "app store review", "App Store Connect", "release v1.x", "public tester", "add build to test", "check crashes", "what's new", "store listing", "submit to app store review", "approve and release", or any App Store Connect operation.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Mobile, covering App store release. It works with App Store Connect, macOS and iOS. The repository describes itself as: Skills collection for Minis. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • User mentions asc
  • App store review
  • App Store Connect
  • Add build to test

Example prompts

  • “TestFlight”
  • “beta test”
  • “app store review”
  • “/asc-cli”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. List Apps
  2. TestFlight
  3. App Store Release
  4. User Reviews
  5. Auth and General

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cb72d91. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • curl
    • brew

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • github.com

    Also links to:

    • appstoreconnect.apple.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Asc CLI loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 124 tokens; SKILL.md has 624 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~124
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

ASC CLI

Use asc to manage App Store Connect from the command line.

Installation

iSH (Alpine Linux, aarch64) uses the prebuilt linux_arm64 binary from GitHub Releases.

bash
# 1. Check latest version at https://github.com/rorkai/App-Store-Connect-CLI/releases/latest
# 2. Download linux_arm64 binary
VERSION="1.2.6"  # or latest
curl -L -o /usr/local/bin/asc \
  "https://github.com/rorkai/App-Store-Connect-CLI/releases/download/${VERSION}/asc_${VERSION}_linux_arm64"
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/asc

# 3. Verify
asc version

Updating: Repeat the same curl + chmod with the new version.

macOS (separate machine): Use brew install asc or the macOS_arm64 binary.

Auth Setup

Getting an API Key (Step-by-Step Guide)

App Store Connect uses API keys for machine-to-machine access. The user needs an Apple Developer account with the appropriate role: Account Holder, Admin, or App Manager.

Step 1 - Open the API Keys page:

Tell the user to visit App Store Connect -> Users and Access -> Integrations -> API Keys. They must sign in with their Apple Developer account.

Step 2 - Generate a private key:

Click the "+" button, give the key a name (for example, "Minis CI"), and choose the access role:

  • App Manager: Enough for TestFlight builds, App Store submissions, and reviews.
  • Admin: Needed for user management, agreements, and finance reports.

After clicking "Generate", a .p8 private key file downloads immediately. Save it. Apple only shows the download link once.

Step 3 - Collect three pieces of information:

The API Keys page shows a table. Find the newly created key row:

  • Key ID: The 10-character string in the first column, for example, ABC123XYZ9.
  • Issuer ID: Shown at the top of the page, a UUID like aaaaaaaa-bbbb-cccc-dddd-eeeeeeeeeeee.
  • Private key file: The .p8 file downloaded in Step 2.

Step 4 - Get the .p8 file into iSH:

The user can share the .p8 file to Minis as an attachment, or place it in a mounted folder under /var/minis/mounts/.

Step 5 - Run auth login:

iSH has no system keychain, so use --bypass-keychain:

bash
# Copy the .p8 into /root/ (not /tmp/ - /tmp is wiped on restart)
cp /var/minis/attachments/AuthKey_XXXX.p8 /root/AuthKey_XXXX.p8
chmod 600 /root/AuthKey_XXXX.p8

asc auth login --bypass-keychain \
  --name "ProfileName" \
  --key-id "KEY_ID" \
  --issuer-id "ISSUER_ID" \
  --private-key /root/AuthKey_XXXX.p8

Step 6 - Verify:

bash
asc auth status --validate
# Should show "validation: works"
asc apps list --output table
# Should list the user's apps
Detecting and Handling Auth Problems

When a user asks to do something with asc but auth is not set up yet, do not run the command blindly. Instead:

  1. Run asc auth status --validate 2>&1 to check the current state.
  2. If it returns an error or shows no credentials, tell the user:

    "asc has not been configured for authentication yet. You need an App Store Connect API Key. Would you like me to walk you through generating one step by step?"

  3. If the user agrees, walk them through Steps 1-6 above.
  4. If the user already has a .p8 file but has not configured auth, just do Steps 5-6.
  5. If asc is not installed, see Installation first.

Auth Files Location
  • Config: /root/.asc/config.json
  • Private Key: /root/AuthKey_*.p8

Both must be in /root/ for persistence across iSH restarts. /tmp/ is lost on reboot.

Environment

  • Installed: /usr/local/bin/asc (linux_arm64 binary, iSH Alpine)
  • Auth: /root/.asc/config.json, private key at /root/AuthKey_*.p8

Core Workflows

1. List Apps
bash
asc apps list --output table

Get APP_ID from the output. All subsequent commands need --app APP_ID.

2. TestFlight

List builds:

bash
asc builds list --app APP_ID --output table

List beta groups:

bash
asc testflight groups list --app APP_ID --output table

Add build to public beta group + submit review:

bash
asc publish testflight \
  --app APP_ID \
  --build BUILD_ID \
  --group "GROUP_ID" \
  --test-notes "Notes" \
  --locale "en-US" \
  --submit --confirm

View tester metrics:

bash
asc testflight metrics app-testers --app APP_ID --paginate --output json

List crash submissions:

bash
asc testflight crashes list --app APP_ID --paginate --output json

Get crash log:

bash
asc testflight crashes log --submission-id SUBMISSION_ID
3. App Store Release

Stage version (create version + copy metadata + attach build):

bash
asc release stage \
  --app APP_ID \
  --version "1.X" \
  --build BUILD_ID \
  --copy-metadata-from "1.Y" \
  --exclude-fields "whatsNew" \
  --confirm

Update what's new (en-US):

bash
asc localizations update \
  --version VERSION_ID \
  --locale "en-US" \
  --whats-new "Release notes text..."

Create Chinese locale:

bash
asc localizations create --version VERSION_ID --locale "zh-Hans"

Fill required fields for new locale:

bash
asc localizations update \
  --version VERSION_ID \
  --locale "zh-Hans" \
  --description "App description" \
  --keywords "keyword1,keyword2" \
  --support-url "https://..." \
  --whats-new "Release Notes"

Validate readiness:

bash
asc validate --app APP_ID --version "1.X"

Submit for review:

bash
asc review submit --app APP_ID --version "1.X" --build BUILD_ID --confirm

Release after approval (manual release):

bash
asc versions release --version-id VERSION_ID --confirm
4. User Reviews
bash
asc reviews list --app APP_ID --output table
5. Auth and General
bash
asc auth status --validate    # Check auth health
asc version                   # Show version
asc <command> --help          # Built-in help is authoritative

Idempotent Operations

  • Adding a build to a group multiple times is safe. It returns "already has beta app review submission".
  • release stage with --confirm is idempotent. It creates the version only if it does not already exist.
  • builds list always shows the latest builds at the top; use head -N to limit the output.

Notes

  • No real-time download/install counts per build. The Apple API only returns cumulative tester-level metrics.
  • The Crashes API does not expose the build number. Filter by upload timestamp instead.
  • TestFlight builds are valid for 90 days from upload.
  • Always use --confirm on destructive commands; try --dry-run first where available.
  • Metrics return sessions/crashes per tester over 365 days by default.
