asc-submission-health

• Auth configured and app/version/build IDs resolved.
• Build is processed (not in processing state).
• All required metadata is complete.

1. Verify Build Status

```bash

asc builds info --build "BUILD_ID"

```

Check:

• processingState is VALID
• usesNonExemptEncryption - if true, requires encryption declaration

2. Encryption Compliance

If usesNonExemptEncryption: true:

```bash

# List existing declarations

asc encryption declarations list --app "APP_ID"

# Create declaration if needed

asc encryption declarations create \

--app "APP_ID" \

--app-description "Uses standard HTTPS/TLS" \

--contains-proprietary-cryptography=false \

--contains-third-party-cryptography=true \

--available-on-french-store=true

# Assign to build

asc encryption declarations assign-builds \

--id "DECLARATION_ID" \

--build "BUILD_ID"

```

Better approach: Add ITSAppUsesNonExemptEncryption = NO to Info.plist and rebuild.

3. Content Rights Declaration

Required for all App Store submissions:

```bash

# Check current status

asc apps get --id "APP_ID" --output json | jq '.data.attributes.contentRightsDeclaration'

# Set if missing

asc apps update --id "APP_ID" --content-rights "DOES_NOT_USE_THIRD_PARTY_CONTENT"

```

Valid values:

• DOES_NOT_USE_THIRD_PARTY_CONTENT
• USES_THIRD_PARTY_CONTENT

4. Version Metadata

```bash

# Check version details

asc versions get --version-id "VERSION_ID" --include-build

# Verify copyright is set

asc versions update --version-id "VERSION_ID" --copyright "2026 Your Company"

```

5. Localizations Complete

```bash

# List version localizations

asc localizations list --version "VERSION_ID"

# Check required fields: description, keywords, whatsNew, supportUrl

```

6. Screenshots Present

Each locale needs screenshots for the target platform.

7. App Info Localizations (Privacy Policy)

```bash

# List app info IDs (if multiple exist)

asc app-infos list --app "APP_ID"

# Check privacy policy URL

asc localizations list --app "APP_ID" --type app-info --app-info "APP_INFO_ID"

```

Using Review Submissions API (Recommended)

```bash

# Create submission

asc review submissions-create --app "APP_ID" --platform IOS

# Add version to submission

asc review items-add \

--submission "SUBMISSION_ID" \

--item-type appStoreVersions \

--item-id "VERSION_ID"

# Submit for review

asc review submissions-submit --id "SUBMISSION_ID" --confirm

```

Using Submit Command

```bash

asc submit create --app "APP_ID" --version "1.2.3" --build "BUILD_ID" --confirm

```

Use --platform when multiple platforms exist.

```bash

# Check submission status

asc submit status --id "SUBMISSION_ID"

asc submit status --version-id "VERSION_ID"

# List all submissions

asc review submissions-list --app "APP_ID" --paginate

```

```bash

# Cancel submission

asc submit cancel --id "SUBMISSION_ID" --confirm

# Or via review API

asc review submissions-cancel --id "SUBMISSION_ID" --confirm

```

Fix issues, then re-submit.

"Version is not in valid state"

Check:

1. Build is attached and VALID
2. Encryption declaration approved (or exempt)
3. Content rights declaration set
4. All localizations complete
5. Screenshots present for all locales

"Export compliance must be approved"

The build has usesNonExemptEncryption: true. Either:

• Upload export compliance documentation
• Or rebuild with ITSAppUsesNonExemptEncryption = NO in Info.plist

"Multiple app infos found"

Use --app-info flag with the correct app info ID:

```bash

asc app-infos list --app "APP_ID"

```

• asc submit create uses the new reviewSubmissions API automatically.
• Use --output table when you want human-readable status.
• macOS submissions follow the same process but use --platform MAC_OS.
