asc-release-flow

asc-release-flow is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from moasq/ios-dev-agent. It costs 50 tokens per session (2,199 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A checklist and command guide for preparing an iPhone or Mac app for review and release through Apple's App Store. It checks items such as builds, store text, screenshots, privacy details, age ratings, in-app purchases, and review information.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to validate an app version, prepare its store listing, troubleshoot first submissions, check release readiness, and submit the version for review.
Why use it?
It helps find what is blocking submission and separates fixes that can be made with commands from steps that require Apple's website or manual action.

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-release-flow 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 285 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Release flow (readiness-first)

Use this skill when the question is "Can my app be submitted now?" or when the user wants to prepare and submit an App Store version with the current asc command surface.

Preconditions

  • Resolve APP_ID, version string, VERSION_ID when needed, and BUILD_ID up front.
  • Ensure auth is configured with asc auth login or ASC_* environment variables.
  • Have canonical metadata in ./metadata when using metadata-driven staging.
  • Treat asc web ... commands as optional experimental escape hatches for flows not covered by the public API.

Answer order

  1. Say whether the app is ready right now.
  2. Name the blocking issues.
  3. Separate public-API fixes from web-session or manual fixes.
  4. Give the next exact command to run.

Blockers usually fall into:

  • API-fixable: build validity, metadata, screenshots, review details, content rights, encryption, version/build attachment, IAP readiness, Game Center version and review-submission items.
  • Web-session-fixable: initial app availability bootstrap, first-review subscription attachment, App Privacy publish state.
  • Manual fallback: first-time IAP selection on the app-version page when no CLI attach flow exists, or any flow the user does not want to run through experimental web-session commands.

Canonical current path

1. Readiness check

Use asc validate; the old submit-preflight shortcut is not part of the current CLI.

asc validate --app "APP_ID" --version "1.2.3" --platform IOS --output table

Use strict mode when warnings should block automation:

asc validate --app "APP_ID" --version "1.2.3" --platform IOS --strict --output table

For apps selling digital goods, run the product readiness checks too:

asc validate iap --app "APP_ID" --output table
asc validate subscriptions --app "APP_ID" --output table

2. Stage without submitting

Use asc release stage when the user wants to prepare the version, apply/copy metadata, attach the build, and validate, while stopping before review submission.

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.
