About this episode

Rudrank Riyam discusses the App Store Connect CLI tool and its impact on automating App Store workflows.

Rudrank Riyam joins React Universe On Air to talk about App Store Connect CLI, an open-source tool for automating App Store Connect workflows without living in the dashboard. What started as a way to pull TestFlight feedback turned into a broader interface for metadata, submissions, localization, analytics, reviews, and release operations. Mike Grabowski and Rudrank discuss why these workflows are a strong fit for CLI automation, why Go became the right language for an agent-built tool, how teams are using it in CI/CD and agent workflows, and what changes when multiple coding agents build against the same codebase. They also get into code structure, command design, agents.md, public vs. private App Store Connect endpoints, and what changed after Rork acquired the project while keeping it open source. What we cover: - Why App Store Connect workflows are a good fit for CLI automation - How the tool handles TestFlight feedback, metadata, localization, analytics, reviews, and submissions - Why Rudrank chose Go over Swift for an agent-built CLI - What he learned from running multiple agents against one open-source project - How clear structure and command naming make a codebase easier…
