Automate App Store Connect workflows by combining JWT API access for data calls with Playwright UI automation for browser actions. This hybrid approach handles app info retrieval, build management, TestFlight deployment, screenshot uploads, and app submissions.

App Store Connect API automation requires an API base URL, issuer ID, key ID, and either a private key file or private key string. Token handling uses ES256 to authenticate API requests and coordinate browser actions.

Yes, TestFlight deployment and app submission can be automated end-to-end. The Skill coordinates JWT API calls with Playwright UI actions to upload assets, deploy builds, and submit apps for review without manual intervention.

Yes, uploading screenshots to App Store Connect is supported through the hybrid JWT API and Playwright UI automation. Browser-driven actions handle the asset upload process while API calls manage the associated build metadata.

Retrieve app info and manage builds by using JWT API access to query App Store Connect endpoints directly. This allows fetching app data and listing builds programmatically, while Playwright handles UI-only tasks.

Combining JWT API access with Playwright covers ASC workflows that lack public API endpoints. JWT handles data retrieval and build management, while Playwright automates UI-only tasks like asset uploads and form submissions.
