asc-shots-pipeline

asc screenshots pipeline (xcodebuild -> AXe -> frame -> asc)

Use this skill for agent-driven screenshot workflows where the app is built and launched with Xcode CLI tools, UI is driven with AXe, and screenshots are uploaded with asc.

Current scope

• Implemented now: build/run, AXe plan capture, frame composition, and upload.
• Device discovery is built-in via asc screenshots list-frame-devices.
• Local screenshot automation commands are experimental in asc cli.
• Framing is pinned to Koubou 0.13.0 for deterministic output.
• Feedback/issues: https://github.com/rudrankriyam/App-Store-Connect-CLI/issues/new/choose

Defaults

• Settings file: .asc/shots.settings.json
• Capture plan: .asc/screenshots.json
• Raw screenshots dir: ./screenshots/raw
• Framed screenshots dir: ./screenshots/framed
• Default frame device: iphone-air

1) Create settings JSON first

Create or update .asc/shots.settings.json:

{
  "version": 1,
  "app": {
    "bundle_id": "com.example.app",
    "project": "MyApp.xcodeproj",
    "scheme": "MyApp",
    "simulator_udid": "booted"
  },
  "paths": {
    "plan": ".asc/screenshots.json",
    "raw_dir": "./screenshots/raw",
    "framed_dir": "./screenshots/framed"
  },
  "pipeline": {
    "frame_enabled": true,
    "upload_enabled": false
  },
  "upload": {
    "version_localization_id": "",
    "device_type": "IPHONE_65",
    "source_dir": "./screenshots/framed"
  }
}

If you intentionally skip framing, set:

• "frame_enabled": false
• "upload.source_dir": "./screenshots/raw"

2) Build and run app on simulator

Use Xcode CLI for build/install/launch:

xcrun simctl boot "$UDID" || true

xcodebuild \
  -project "MyApp.xcodeproj" \
  -scheme "MyApp" \
  -configuration Debug \
  -destination "platform=iOS Simulator,id=$UDID" \
  -derivedDataPath ".build/DerivedData" \
  build

xcrun simctl install "$UDID" ".build/DerivedData/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/MyApp.app"
xcrun simctl launch "$UDID" "com.example.app"
