App Store Record Creator

Opt-in local browser automation for App Store Connect app creation. The user must be signed in; the bundle ID must already exist.

Preconditions

• Playwright, Cursor browser MCP, or equivalent visible browser automation.
• User can complete login and 2FA.
• Inputs: app name (<=30 chars), registered unused bundle ID, SKU, platform(s), primary language, user access.

Guardrails

• Never export/store cookies.
• Use a visible session only.
• Pause before final Create click in standalone scripts.
• Do not retry Create automatically.

Workflow

1. Preflight:

   asc bundle-ids create --identifier "com.example.app" --name "My App" --platform IOS
   asc apps list --bundle-id "com.example.app" --output json
   

2. Open https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/apps and confirm login.
3. Click the blue + New App button, then the New App menu item. It is a dropdown first, not a direct dialog.
4. Fill fields:
   • Platform checkboxes: iOS, macOS, tvOS, visionOS; multiple allowed.
   • Name, max 30 chars.
   • Primary Language combobox/select.
   • Bundle ID select: wait until async loading finishes after platform selection; choose label like My App - com.example.app.
   • SKU.
   • User Access: required radio, Limited Access or Full Access.
5. User Access radios may have span overlays; scroll the radio input into view and click the radio ref directly if accessibility click is intercepted.
6. If Ember validation does not notice filled fields, clear/retype one text value slowly.
7. Confirm, click Create, wait for /apps/<APP_ID>/....
8. Verify:

   asc apps view --id "APP_ID" --output json --pretty
   asc apps list --bundle-id "com.example.app" --output json
   

9. Hand off:

   asc app-setup info set --app "APP_ID" --primary-locale "en-US"
   asc app-setup categories set --app "APP_ID" --primary GAMES
   asc web apps availability create --app "APP_ID" --territory "USA,GBR" --available-in-new-territories true
   

   Use the web availability flow only for first bootstrap; later use asc pricing availability edit.

Failure Handling

If a field/button cannot be located, stop, capture a screenshot, report the last step, and ask the user to inspect validation errors. Selectors can change; prefer role/label/text selectors over CSS.
