Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/rudrankriyam/App-Store-Connect-CLI/issues/505

Originally assigned to: @rudrankriyam on GitHub.

Summary

When the App Store Connect API returns error responses containing meta.associatedErrors, asc only displays the top-level error message and discards the associated errors — which often contain the actual actionable information.

Reproduction

  1. Have a version in PREPARE_FOR_SUBMISSION state that's missing some of the newer required age rating fields (e.g. parentalControls, advertising, healthOrWellnessTopics, etc.)
  2. Attempt to submit:
asc review items-add --submission <ID> --item-type appStoreVersions --item-id <VERSION_ID>
  1. asc displays:
Error: review items-add: appStoreVersions with id '...' is not in valid state.: This resource cannot be reviewed, please check associated errors to see why.

The error message literally says "check associated errors" but asc doesn't show them.

What the API actually returns

The 409 response body (3471 bytes) contains a meta.associatedErrors object with the full details:

{
  "errors": [{
    "status": "409",
    "code": "STATE_ERROR.ENTITY_STATE_INVALID",
    "title": "appStoreVersions with id '...' is not in valid state.",
    "detail": "This resource cannot be reviewed, please check associated errors to see why.",
    "meta": {
      "associatedErrors": {
        "/v1/ageRatingDeclarations/...": [
          {
            "code": "ENTITY_ERROR.ATTRIBUTE.REQUIRED",
            "detail": "You must provide a value for the attribute 'parentalControls' with this request"
          },
          {
            "code": "ENTITY_ERROR.ATTRIBUTE.REQUIRED",
            "detail": "You must provide a value for the attribute 'healthOrWellnessTopics' with this request"
          },
          {
            "code": "ENTITY_ERROR.ATTRIBUTE.REQUIRED",
            "detail": "You must provide a value for the attribute 'advertising' with this request"
          }
          // ... 4 more missing fields
        ]
      }
    }
  }]
}

Expected behavior

asc should display the associated errors, e.g.:

Error: review items-add: appStoreVersions with id '...' is not in valid state.
  This resource cannot be reviewed, please check associated errors to see why.

  Associated errors for /v1/ageRatingDeclarations/...:
    - You must provide a value for the attribute 'parentalControls' with this request
    - You must provide a value for the attribute 'healthOrWellnessTopics' with this request
    - You must provide a value for the attribute 'advertising' with this request
    - You must provide a value for the attribute 'userGeneratedContent' with this request
    - You must provide a value for the attribute 'messagingAndChat' with this request
    - You must provide a value for the attribute 'ageAssurance' with this request
    - You must provide a value for the attribute 'gunsOrOtherWeapons' with this request

Impact

This turned a 30-second fix (asc age-rating set with the missing fields) into a 20+ minute debugging session that required writing a custom JWT-signing script to call the raw API. The --api-debug flag only shows headers and status codes, not response bodies, so there's no workaround within asc itself.

Environment

  • asc version: 0.26.3
  • Platform: macOS (Darwin 25.2.0, arm64)

no worries at all this issue was submitted by claude. no human time lost. I told claude to open an issue with the gh command, it found a workaround by using the p8 files itself to call the api that's how the bug was surfaced. thanks for building a great tool!

btw I installed the skill by manually copying the skills from the repo into my .claude folder. is there a better way? maybe one that auto-updates if the repo changes? a claude plugin or something? I'm kinda new to skills

nice! is there a command to update it? and/or auto-add any new skills that might be added to the repo?
