App Release Workflow

How it works

The project keeps a release config at .asc/release.yml. Read it first to get platform schemes, version file paths, and locale list.

Workflow Steps

Step 1: Determine what to release

Ask the user (if not clear):

• Which platform? (ios / macos / both)
• New version number? (or just bump build number for same version)
• What's New text? (in primary locale — you'll translate for others)

Step 2: Bump version

Read the release config to find version_file and version_pattern for the target platform. Also bump build_number_file.

1. Read the version file, find the current version using the regex pattern
2. Replace with the new version string
3. Read the build number file, increment the build number
4. If multiple platforms share the same build number file, both get bumped

Important: Also update CFBundleVersion and CURRENT_PROJECT_VERSION if they are separate from the build number pattern. Check Shared.swift and TargetExtensions.swift.

Step 3: Regenerate project (if needed)

Run any commands listed in pre_archive (e.g., tuist generate).

Step 4: Archive, export, upload

# Get the next build number automatically
BUILD_NUMBER=$(asc builds next-number --app-id <APP_ID> --version <VERSION> --platform <PLATFORM>)

asc builds archive \
  --scheme <SCHEME> \
  --platform <PLATFORM> \
  --signing-style automatic \
  --team-id <TEAM_ID> \
  --upload \
  --app-id <APP_ID> \
  --version <VERSION> \
  --build-number "$BUILD_NUMBER"

Step 5: Wait for build processing

Poll until complete:

asc builds uploads get --upload-id <UPLOAD_ID>

Check the state field. If FAILED, read the errors array and report to the user. Common failures:

• Missing icon → fix asset catalog
• Missing entitlements → add sandbox entitlement for macOS
• CFBundleVersion mismatch → ensure build number matches

Step 6: Link build to version

# Find the version in PREPARE_FOR_SUBMISSION state for the platform
asc versions list --app-id <APP_ID>
# Filter for the target platform + PREPARE_FOR_SUBMISSION state

# Find the build
asc builds list --app-id <APP_ID>
# Match by build number

# Link them
asc versions set-build --version-id <VERSION_ID> --build-id <BUILD_ID>

Step 7: Update What's New (skip for first version v1.0.0)

For each locale in the config:

asc version-localizations list --version-id <VERSION_ID>
# Get localization IDs for each locale

asc version-localizations update \
  --localization-id <LOC_ID> \
  --whats-new "<TRANSLATED_TEXT>"

Generate What's New text:

• Use the user-provided text as the en-US version
• Translate to each locale maintaining the same tone and formatting
• Keep it concise (2-4 sentences max)

Step 8: Check readiness

asc versions check-readiness --version-id <VERSION_ID>

Report the result to the user. If isReadyToSubmit is true, ask if they want to submit. If not, list what's missing (screenshots, description, etc).

Step 9: Submit (if user confirms)

asc versions submit --version-id <VERSION_ID>

First-time platform setup (one-time only)

If this is the first release for a platform (e.g., adding macOS to an existing iOS app), additional setup is needed BEFORE the regular workflow:

1. Provisioning profile — Check if one exists, create if not: asc bundle-ids list --identifier <BUNDLE_ID> asc certificates list --type MAC_APP_DISTRIBUTION # or IOS_DISTRIBUTION asc profiles list --bundle-id-id <BID_ID> asc profiles create --name "Mac App Store: <BUNDLE_ID>" --type MAC_APP_STORE --bundle-id-id <BID_ID> --certificate-ids <CERT_ID>
2. Entitlements — macOS requires App Sandbox. Check for .entitlements file.
3. App icon — Verify the platform's asset catalog has icons assigned.
4. Description — Copy from existing platform if available, adapt for the new platform.
5. Create version — If no PREPARE_FOR_SUBMISSION version exists: asc versions create --app-id <APP_ID> --platform MAC_OS --version-string 1.0.0
