FAQ

Questions about asc_patch_app_preview

What does the asc_patch_app_preview tool do? +

RAW step 3 of the three-step upload flow + the only way to tweak previewFrameTimeCode on an existing preview. PATCH with sourceFileChecksum + uploaded=true to commit a reservation, or with previewFrameTimeCode alone to change the poster frame without re-uploading the video. Wire-key gotcha: Swift. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Appstoreconnect Mcp MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
