# asc-id-resolver

Turns human-friendly app, build and tester names into the IDs that asc commands expect. Handy when you only have a name to work with.

## What it does

The skill maps names to IDs through the `asc` CLI. Apps are looked up by `--bundle-id` or `--name`, and `--paginate` pulls the whole list. Once you have an ID, `ASC_APP_ID` saves you from repeating it in every command.

Builds work two ways: grab the latest with `asc builds info --latest`, or list recent ones sorted by upload date. When a build is only needed for attaching or submitting, skip the lookup entirely — `asc versions attach-build` and `asc review submit` take `--app`, `--version` and `--build-number` directly.

Digital goods get their own section. IAP, subscription and subscription-group version IDs are not the same as the product IDs, so the skill resolves the owning resource first, then its version, then localizations and images. It advises `--paginate` on list commands, otherwise some IDs never show up in the output. Default output is TTY-aware: a table in a terminal, minified JSON in pipes or CI.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add rorkai/app-store-connect-cli-skills --skill asc-id-resolver -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/asc-id-resolver/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/asc-id-resolver/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add rorkai/app-store-connect-cli-skills --skill asc-id-resolver -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add rorkai/app-store-connect-cli-skills --skill asc-id-resolver -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/asc-id-resolver/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

## When to use it
- find an app ID from its bundle ID
- get the latest build ID for a version
- attach a build without looking up its ID
- tell an IAP version ID apart from the product ID
- list TestFlight testers for an app

## Example prompts
- Find the app ID for bundle ID com.example.app
- Show the latest build for version 1.2.3 on iOS and its ID
- List TestFlight groups as JSON

# asc id resolver

Use this skill to map names to IDs needed by other commands.

## App ID
- By bundle ID or name:
  - `asc apps list --bundle-id "com.example.app"`
  - `asc apps list --name "My App"`
- Fetch everything:
  - `asc apps list --paginate`
- Set default:
  - `ASC_APP_ID=...`

## Build ID
- Latest build:
  - `asc builds info --app "APP_ID" --latest --version "1.2.3" --platform IOS`
- Recent builds:
  - `asc builds list --app "APP_ID" --sort -uploadedDate --limit 5`
- Skip the lookup when attaching or submitting: `asc versions attach-build` and
  `asc review submit` accept `--app`, `--version`, and `--build-number "45"`.

## Version ID
- `asc versions list --app "APP_ID" --paginate`

## Digital-goods version IDs

API 4.4.1 version IDs are distinct from IAP product, subscription, and
subscription-group IDs:

Resolve the owning resources first:

- IAPs: `asc iap list --app "APP_ID" --paginate --output json`
- Subscription groups: `asc subscriptions groups list --app "APP_ID" --paginate --output json`
- Subscriptions: `asc subscriptions list --app "APP_ID" --paginate --output json`
  or `asc subscriptions list --group-id "GROUP_ID" --paginate --output json`

Then resolve their version IDs:

- IAP versions: `asc iap versions list --iap-id "IAP_ID" --paginate --output json`
- Subscription versions: `asc subscriptions versions list --subscription-id "SUB_ID" --paginate --output json`
- Subscription group versions: `asc subscriptions groups versions list --group-id "GROUP_ID" --paginate --output json`

Resolve child localization or image IDs from the corresponding version subtree:

- IAP localizations: `asc iap versions localizations list --version-id "VERSION_ID" --paginate --output json`
- IAP primary image: `asc iap versions image --version-id "VERSION_ID" --output json`
- IAP image collection: `asc iap versions images list --version-id "VERSION_ID" --paginate --output json`
- Subscription localizations: `asc subscriptions versions localizations list --version-id "VERSION_ID" --paginate --output json`
- Subscription primary image: `asc subscriptions versions images primary --version-id "VERSION_ID" --output json`
- Subscription image collection: `asc subscriptions versions images list --version-id "VERSION_ID" --paginate --output json`
- Subscription-group localizations: `asc subscriptions groups versions localizations list --version-id "VERSION_ID" --paginate --output json`

## TestFlight IDs
- Groups:
  - `asc testflight groups list --app "APP_ID" --paginate`
- Testers:
  - `asc testflight testers list --app "APP_ID" --paginate`

## Pre-release version IDs
```
