asc-crash-logs

asc-crash-logs is a skill for Claude Code from markdavidgan/apple-dev-skills. It costs 71 tokens per session (1,445 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for retrieving crash reports from TestFlight, Apple's beta-testing service, through App Store Connect. It returns tester feedback and full crash logs, including the stack trace used to locate the failing code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate crashes reported by beta testers, compare crash signatures between builds, or retrieve a symbolicated crash log without the device.
Why use it?
Xcode Organizer may not find crash data for shared or moved projects, and waiting for a tester to send a file slows diagnosis. This gets the report directly from Apple's service.

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-crash-logs scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (asc_jwt.rb), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 88 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

ASC Crash Logs

Retrieve tester-reported crash feedback and fully-symbolicated crash logs straight from the App Store Connect API — no device, no Xcode Organizer, no waiting for the owner to AirDrop an .ips file.

When to Use

  • A TestFlight tester (or the owner) reports a crash and you need the stack trace now.
  • Xcode Organizer fails with "Xcode failed to locate iOS App with App Store Identifier …" — the Organizer only resolves apps it has a local archive/project association for, which breaks on shared or freshly-migrated checkouts. The API route bypasses that entirely.
  • You want to confirm whether a new crash is a known signature or a regression across builds.

Don't use for crashes that never went through TestFlight (local debug runs) — those are on the device or in Console.

The two-endpoint reality (verified 2026-08-18)

Endpoint Status
GET /v1/apps/{appId}/betaFeedbackCrashSubmissions Works. Lists tester crash feedback (comment, build, device, OS, uptime).
GET /v1/betaFeedbackCrashSubmissions/{id}/crashLog Works. Returns the full crash log as attributes.logText.
GET /v1/betaFeedbackCrashSubmissions (top level) 403 — collection fetch is forbidden; you must go through the app relationship.
GET /v1/builds/{id}/diagnosticSignatures?filter[diagnosticType]=CRASH 400 — the filter only accepts DISK_WRITES, HANGS, LAUNCHES. Aggregate crash signatures are NOT in the public API.

Recipe

1. Auth: ES256 JWT from the ASC API key

Use the bundled asc_jwt.rb (requires the jwt gem — present in any repo with a Fastlane Gemfile). The script reads three env vars; inject them however the current repo manages secrets:

# Aether family repos: Doppler project "apple-dev", config "dev"
TOKEN=$(doppler run --project apple-dev --config dev -- \
  ruby "$(dirname "$0")/asc_jwt.rb" 2>/dev/null | tail -1)

Required env vars: APP_STORE_CONNECT_API_KEY_KEY_CONTENT (the .p8 contents), APP_STORE_CONNECT_API_KEY_ISSUER_ID, APP_STORE_CONNECT_API_KEY_KEY_ID.

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.
