asc-publish

asc-publish is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Abdullah4AI/apple-developer-toolkit. It costs 37 tokens per session (850 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for checking an app's App Store readiness, reviewing its metadata, and submitting it to Apple's App Store or TestFlight. TestFlight is Apple's service for distributing test builds.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check app status, validate versions, review available builds, prepare archives, and publish to TestFlight or the App Store.
Why use it?
It exposes missing requirements and build status before a submission, reducing failed or incomplete publishing attempts.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

asc-publish scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

App Store Publishing

Important: iOS 26 SDK Requirement

Starting April 28, 2026, all apps submitted to the App Store must be built with the iOS 26 SDK. Ensure the project targets iOS 26 SDK before submission.

Publishing Flow

The automated pipeline handles both TestFlight and App Store targets based on user intent. When no Xcode GUI is available, use xcodebuild commands directly for archive and export operations.

Publishing Workflow (MANDATORY)

For ANY operation that writes to App Store Connect, follow these steps in order. For read-only operations (list_apps, get_app_status, list_builds, check_auth, list_certificates, list_profiles, list_bundle_ids, validate_version), proceed directly.

Step 1: GATHER

Call read-only tools to check current state:

  • get_app_status for release pipeline state
  • validate_version for what's complete vs missing
  • list_builds for available builds and processing status

Step 2: READINESS REPORT

Show a checklist using these markers:

  [checkmark] App registered in ASC
  [checkmark] Bundle ID: com.example.app
  [checkmark] Build 1.0 (42) -- processed, ready
  [x] Screenshots -- missing for iPhone 6.7"
  [x] Description -- not set
  [checkmark] Age rating -- set

For items the user must fix outside ASC tools, provide the exact URL:

Step 3: PREVIEW ALL FIELDS

Show a formatted preview of everything that will be pushed:

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
