Originally created by @rudrankriyam on GitHub (Jan 26, 2026).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/rudrankriyam/App-Store-Connect-CLI/issues/194

Originally assigned to: @rudrankriyam on GitHub.

Overview

The public App Store Connect API does not support creating new app records. We will not use undocumented endpoints.
This issue tracks an officially supported alternative: post‑creation automation (configure everything after the app record is created manually in App Store Connect).

From the official Apps API docs: “Don’t use this API to create new apps; instead, create new apps on the App Store Connect website.”
Docs: https://sosumi.ai/documentation/appstoreconnectapi/apps

Scope (Supported API only)

Goal: provide CLI commands to finish app setup after manual creation.

Key resources we can update via public API:

  • App update (PATCH /v1/apps/{id}) — bundle ID, primary locale, price schedule, availability
    https://sosumi.ai/documentation/appstoreconnectapi/patch-v1-apps-id
  • App Info / App Info Localizations — name, subtitle, privacy policy URLs, etc.
  • Categories (primary/secondary)
  • Age Rating (already supported)
  • Pricing & availability (already supported)
  • App Store localizations (already supported)

Proposed CLI (post-create flow)

New group: asc app-setup <subcommand> [flags]

Subcommands (all use existing APIs):

  • app-setup info set --app APP_ID --primary-locale en-US --bundle-id BUNDLE_ID (wraps app update + app info)
  • app-setup categories set --app APP_ID --primary GAMES --secondary ENTERTAINMENT
  • app-setup availability set --app APP_ID --territory "USA,GBR" --available true
  • app-setup pricing set --app APP_ID --price-point PRICE_POINT_ID (or reuse pricing schedule)
  • app-setup localizations upload --version VERSION_ID --path ./localizations (existing)

Acceptance Criteria

  • Documented, no app creation via API
  • asc app-setup --help and basic flow exists
  • Uses only public endpoints documented by Apple
  • Clear error when users try to create app records (direct them to ASC UI)

Manual Test Plan (using real apps)

Prereq: create app record in ASC UI.

  1. asc apps → get APP_ID
  2. asc app-setup info set --app APP_ID --primary-locale en-US --bundle-id BUNDLE_ID
  3. asc app-setup categories set --app APP_ID --primary GAMES
  4. asc app-setup availability set --app APP_ID --territory "USA" --available true
  5. asc app-info get --app APP_ID (verify updated fields)
  6. asc categories list (verify category ids are valid)

Notes

  • Do not use undocumented endpoints.
  • Provide explicit user guidance in help text and README: “Create app record in App Store Connect UI first.”
  • Consider a single orchestration command app-setup init that chains the above steps.

Implementation Notes

  • Implement as wrapper commands that call existing client methods
  • If needed, add a small cmd/app_setup.go to orchestrate
  • Update README with a “Post-create setup” section
