create_asc_api_keyCreate an App Store Connect API team key. Optionally downloads the one-time .p8 private key PEM (treat like a password; never commit).
download_asc_api_keyDownload the one-time .p8 private key for an existing API key when canDownload is still true.
revoke_asc_api_keyPermanently revoke an App Store Connect API team key (cannot be undone).
get_bundle_idGet details for one existing bundle ID by its ASC resource id. Use after list_bundle_ids to confirm platform and capabilities before create_app.
list_appsList apps visible to the current App Store Connect session. Use to find an existing asc_app_id before create_app or any per-app tool.
list_app_bundlesList ASC app bundles (iris GET /appBundles).
create_app_bundleCreate ASC app bundle (may 403 if tenant allows GET only).
create_appCreate App Store Connect app
get_appGet one app's details (name, bundle id, SKU) by asc_app_id. Use to confirm the right app before making changes to it.
update_appUpdate an existing app's name, primary locale, or bundle id (PATCH apps). Use when correcting app-level metadata after create_app.
probe_update_version_localizationPATCH app store version localization promotional text (requires asc_app_id / localization_id on tenant).
update_version_localizationUpdate the current app store version's description, keywords, promotional text, what's new, support URL, or marketing URL for one localization (PATCH app store version localization). Use for App Store listing copy tied to a specific version, not app-level info (see update_app_info_localization).
get_testflight_public_linkCreate or reuse an external TestFlight group, attach a processed build, enable the public join link, and return https://testflight.apple.com/join/… Requires asc_session_cookie (session_status OK). First external build may need Beta App Review before the link works for everyone.
submit_testflight_beta_reviewSubmit a processed build for TestFlight external Beta App Review (iris betaAppReviewSubmissions). Not App Store press_submit_for_review. Fills beta app description, what to test, contact, and privacy URL when provided. Poll get_testflight_public_link until accepting_public_testers is true before sha
list_buildsList ASC builds for asc_app_id (newest first). Use before attach if operator names a build number.
submit_build_for_reviewOperator uploaded a new build: attach latest, build_number (ASC build version), or build_id to the current store version; optionally submit for review when confirm_submit_for_review=true.
upload_buildUpload a .ipa to App Store Connect via Transporter on the replay host. For CI/Expo-built apps, upload the .ipa through Expo or your CI pipeline directly and skip this tool — it exists only for builds that must be uploaded from the replay host itself. Supply ipa_url (https) or the host-local ipa_path
set_version_buildSet which build is attached to an app store version without also running export-compliance or wait-for-processing steps. Use attach_build_and_compliance instead when the build may still be processing.
get_review_submissionGet the status and attached items of one review submission by review_submission_id. Use to check progress after create_review_submission.
create_review_submissionCreate a new, empty review submission (READY_FOR_REVIEW) for an app so a version/build can be attached before submit. Use press_submit_for_review instead if you just want to submit the current version in one step.
attach_review_itemAttach an app store version or build item to an existing review submission by review_submission_id. Use after create_review_submission when building a submission manually.
submit_build_and_press_submitUpload done: attach latest/build number/build_id to current version, then press Submit for Review in ASC via API.
press_submit_for_reviewBuild already on version: create review submission and PATCH submitted=true. Requires confirm_submit_for_review=true.
submit_for_reviewPress Submit for Review, restricted to apps on the probe/disposable allowlist (checked server-side) and gated behind confirm_probe_submit=true. For regular apps use press_submit_for_review or submit_build_and_press_submit instead; this tool exists only for automated testing against throwaway apps.
list_review_messagesResolution Center threads and App Review messages for asc_app_id. Empty threads until Apple opens a rejection/message thread.
distribute_build_to_testflightAdd a VALID build to TestFlight internal or external beta group. For internal, also pass tester_emails (ASC team addresses) or call invite_testflight_testers testing_scope=internal — otherwise ASC shows 0 Testers and TestFlight stays empty.
invite_testflight_testersAdd testers to a TestFlight beta group by email. testing_scope=internal: ASC team emails for Internal Testing group (required before TestFlight app shows the build). testing_scope=external: external group email invites.
list_asc_team_membersList active App Store Connect team members and pending email invitations, returning only each person's identifier (email/username) and roles. Use before internal TestFlight distribution to confirm someone is on the team and has a TestFlight-eligible role.
invite_asc_team_memberInvite a user to your App Store Connect team (email invitation, 3-day expiry). Required for internal TestFlight when they are not already a team user. Does not replace invite_testflight_testers (external beta emails).
list_app_media_setsList existing screenshot and app preview sets for an app store version localization (read-only). Use before upload_screenshot to see which display sizes already have assets.
get_buildGet one build's processing state and metadata by build_id. Use before attach_build_and_compliance to confirm the build finished processing.
get_review_pathGet the Resolution Center and App Review URLs for an app, for messages Apple has not exposed via list_review_messages. Use when an operator needs to open the review thread directly in a browser.
get_app_store_versionGET iOS appStoreVersions for asc_app_id
update_app_info_localizationUpdate the localized app name, subtitle, and privacy policy URL for one locale (PATCH app info localization). Use for text shown on the App Store listing page, not screenshots.
upload_screenshotUpload one App Store screenshot into a single carousel slot via the screenshot bytes (screenshot_image_base64) or a URL to fetch them from (screenshot_image_url). Call once per slide (default size APP_IPHONE_65 / 6.5″); screenshot_file_path only works when the file already exists on the replay host'
wait_build_processedPoll until build processing VALID
set_export_compliancePATCH build export encryption flag
attach_build_and_complianceAfter Expo/CI has uploaded the .ipa to ASC: list builds for asc_app_id, wait until processing is VALID, attach build_id to app_store_version_id, set export compliance (uses_non_exempt_encryption usually false).
update_app_review_informationCreate or update App Store review contact and demo sign-in for the current version (iris appStoreReviewDetail). Required before press_submit_for_review for login apps.

set_app_store_metadataSet primary App Store category, version copyright, and third-party content rights declaration.
set_app_privacySet App Privacy data-collection declarations (iris appDataUsages): pass app_privacy_profile=contact or analytics for the built-in presets, or app_privacy_profile=custom with an inline declarations JSON array when the presets don't match what the app actually collects. See SKILLS.md App Privacy secti
delete_orphan_review_submissionsDelete empty READY_FOR_REVIEW review submission drafts (zero items) for an app. Use dry_run=true to list orphans only. Clears slots before press_submit_for_review.
get_pre_submit_statusRead-only checklist before Submit for Review (build, privacy, category, copyright). Includes orphan_review_submission_ids for empty drafts.
set_pricing_and_availabilitySet or read USA base price tier (0 free, 1+ paid). Paid apps still need Agreements/Tax/Banking in ASC Business.
delete_screenshotsDelete screenshots for targeted iPhone display types (e.g. APP_IPHONE_61 only). Use dry_run=true to list without DELETE. Requires localization_id from get_app_store_version.
upload_screenshotsUpload one App Store screenshot for a single iPhone display size from a master image that this tool auto-resizes. Pass screenshot_image_base64 or screenshot_image_url when the image bytes or a fetchable URL are available; use screenshot_display_types to pick exactly one display size per call, and ca
get_account_compliance_statusBusiness portal links for Agreements/Tax/Banking plus price schedule hints (contracts are human-signed).
start_browser_authOpen App Store Connect sign-in only when needed. If the saved session is still valid, this tool returns success immediately and does not open the viewer. Call session_status first. Use force_reconnect only when the user explicitly wants to wipe the saved cookie and sign in again (destructive).
