xtool: add upload command for App Store Connect - #327
Adds xtool upload <ipa>, which sends an .ipa to App Store Connect through Apple's public Build Uploads API with an API key. It works the same on Linux, macOS and WSL and needs neither Xcode nor Transporter.
Requires xtool auth login --mode key (App Store Connect API key, App Manager or Admin role).
Reads the bundle ID, version and build number from the .ipa, finds the app (GET /v1/apps?filter[bundleId]=..., or --app-id), creates the build upload, reserves the file, sends the parts to the pre-signed URLs, commits, and with --wait polls until Apple has processed the build, printing Apple's errors if it fails and its warnings if it succeeds.
Before sending, a local check refuses what Apple is known to reject: not exactly one .app in Payload/; missing CFBundleIdentifier, CFBundleShortVersionString or CFBundleVersion; no CFBundleIconName or no Assets.car; missing, unreadable or non App Store profile; get-task-allow true; profile for another bundle ID (wildcards accepted). Missing Xcode-stamped keys (DT*, BuildMachineOSBuild) are a warning. --check runs only this check (no login), --dry-run also resolves the app, --skip-check uploads anyway.
It is useful on its own for an .ipa built and signed elsewhere (for example on a Mac). Building one on Linux that App Store Connect accepts also needs #321, #323, #325 (asset catalogs) and #326 (distribution signing).
Implementation notes:
IPAInspector (XKit) does the local check, offline.
BuildUploader (XKit) uses its own DeveloperAPIClient with the existing ASC auth middleware.
Parts go to the pre-signed URLs through the plain HTTP client, never through the ASC client, so no Authorization header leaks there (tested). Up to 4 parts in parallel, read by offset from disk; an expired part URL is refreshed by re-reading the reservation.
Reads (GET, including the occasional 404 right after creation) and pre-signed PUTs are retried with bounded backoff. POST and PATCH to App Store Connect are never retried.
An ambiguous commit (5xx, timeout) is resolved by reading the file's delivery state. On failure before the commit, the build upload is deleted (best effort).
OpenAPIRuntime wraps middleware errors in ClientError; they are unwrapped, otherwise every 401/403 would have been retried (caught by a test).
The app lookup is a hand-written GET /v1/apps through the same middlewares: the spec's GET /v1/bundleIds/{id}/app answers 404 PATH_ERROR on the real API, and generating apps_getCollection would add about 10k lines for one call.
make api: the rename step used BSD-only sed -i '' and [[:<:]]; it now uses perl -pi with \b, which behaves the same with GNU and BSD tools.
Generated client
Six operations are added to the generator filter: buildUploads_{create,get,delete}Instance and buildUploadFiles_{create,get,update}Instance. Operations rather than whole tags, which would also pull in the relationship endpoints.
The client was regenerated with swift-openapi-generator 1.7.2, not the 1.13.1 in Package.resolved. The checked-in code was produced by 1.7.2 (from spec 4.0.0), and Package.resolved moved to 1.13.1 later without a regeneration. Running make api as is would switch the output format (Types+*.swift, public import) and add about 21k lines unrelated to this PR. Method check: 1.7.2 with spec 4.5.1 and the old filter reproduces Client.swift exactly, with a 64-line diff in Types.swift (spec drift from 4.0.0 to 4.5.1). The diff here is therefore that drift, a reordering of generated types, and the new operations. The spec is Apple's 4.5.1, downloaded on 2026-10-11 (base.json sha256 7518d3a94a8bd701ac25c1c601b95b8f53aad92091affb15a2a9d331713dac1a).
This is why #143 matters: without a pinned spec, two regenerations at different dates differ. Happy to split the regeneration into its own commit or PR, or to wait for #143.
How was it tested?
swift build --product xtool and swift test on Linux (Podman, Swift 6.4, XTL_CI=1): Test run with 37 tests in 2 suites passed. New: BuildUploaderTests against a mock HTTP client (nominal upload with 2 parts, polling and warnings; without --wait; FAILED with errors[]; timeout; PUT retried then OK; PUT failing for good, then DELETE; POST not retried; 401 not retried; ambiguous commit resolved; commit replayed; expired URL refreshed; app lookup; unknown app) and IPAInspectorTests (one defect per fabricated .ipa, plus an end to end case through zip and the real ZIPCompressor).
SwiftLint 0.65.1 --strict: 0 violations.
Real App Store Connect, about fifteen uploads of a production app (17-18 MB IPAs, 4 parts of 5 MiB) with --app-id and --wait:
accepted builds went from upload to VALID in about 2 minutes, in line with uploads made with Apple's tools, although this command only sends the .ipa (Apple's own tool also sends an asset description and an analyzer archive; they turned out not to be required);
a rejected build surfaced Apple's error as is (90034: Missing or invalid signature...) about 5 minutes after the commit;
--check on the first of these IPAs: No errors found., plus the BuildMachineOSBuild warning (Apple did not require that key).
Not tested against the real API: the app lookup without --app-id (the GET /v1/apps replacement was written after the uploads above and is covered by unit tests only), duplicate build numbers, and expired part URLs.
Limits:
When Apple accepts the file but never creates the build (seen with an Assets.car App Store processing could not read), --wait only stops at its fixed 30 minute timeout, with a message saying the build may still complete. A healthy build shows up within minutes, so a "probably stuck" warning and a --timeout option would be useful follow-ups.
The check unzips the whole .ipa to a temporary directory, as installation already does.
Not checked locally: SwiftSupport/, PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy, LC_BUILD_VERSION, the binary's own entitlements, nested frameworks, the profile's certificate chain. No build number pre-check. No checksum sent at commit (optional in the API).
Still not portable in the Makefile: bsdtar -xO in the openapi/base.json rule (Apple's archive contains __MACOSX/._openapi.oas.json, so unzip -p needs the file name).
1 - I was assisted by AI. I reviewed the finished result.
2 - I set the AI going and left it to it; nobody has read the result - no review, or AI review only
Besides my review, the change was validated by running it (tests, real builds, device installs and App Store Connect uploads where stated above). I will answer review questions myself.
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Added an upload command to inspect IPA files and upload them to App Store Connect. Select an app by ID or bundle ID, check an IPA without uploading, preview an upload, skip inspection checks, or wait for processing.
IPA checks flag packaging, signing, and metadata issues that may affect submission, and report relevant warnings.
Uploads retry recoverable failures and display upload progress, processing status, and results.
Documentation
Added guidance on upload requirements, available options, and common checks.
This change adds local IPA checks and an xtool upload command for App Store Connect. The command can resolve an app by bundle ID, upload an IPA in parts, and optionally wait for processing. New documentation describes prerequisites, checks, and command options.
IPAInspector extracts app identity and platform data. It reports findings for required metadata, icons, orientations, and provisioning profiles. Tests cover these checks and inspection of a zipped IPA.
Upload API and app selection Sources/DeveloperAPI/openapi-generator-config.yaml, Sources/XKit/DeveloperServices/OpenAPI/OpenAPIExtensibleEnum.swift, Sources/XKit/AppStoreConnect/BuildUploader.swift, Tests/XToolTests/BuildUploaderTests.swift, Tests/XToolTests/MockHTTPClient.swift, Package.swift, Makefile
The generated API selection includes build-upload operations. BuildUploader defines upload configuration and results, resolves apps by exact bundle-ID match, and creates uploads and file reservations. Test dependencies and HTTP fixtures are added. The generated-client rename step uses Perl in place of macOS-specific sed syntax.
Transfer, commit, and processing Sources/XKit/AppStoreConnect/BuildUploader.swift, Tests/XToolTests/BuildUploaderTests.swift
The uploader transfers parts, refreshes expiring URLs, handles ambiguous commit results, retries eligible requests, and can poll processing status. Tests cover transfer, cleanup, retries, commit recovery, failures, and timeouts.
Command integration and documentation Sources/XToolSupport/UploadCommand.swift, Sources/XToolSupport/XTool.swift, Documentation/xtool.docc/Upload.md, Documentation/xtool.docc/xtool.md
The upload command inspects the IPA, supports check and dry-run modes, selects an app, and reports upload events and results. The command is registered and documented.

Rebased onto main to resolve the Package.swift conflict with #306: both added test dependencies to XToolTests, so the list is now the union of the two. No other change. swift build --product xtool and swift test (41 tests, including the new certificate ones from #306) pass on Linux, and SwiftLint --strict is clean.
Add buildUploads and buildUploadFiles create/get/update(/delete) so xtool
can upload builds through the public App Store Connect API.
The client is regenerated from the current Apple spec (4.5.1) with
swift-openapi-generator 1.7.2, the version that produced the checked-in
code (Package.resolved is on 1.13.1 but the output was never regenerated,
which would otherwise add ~20k lines of unrelated churn). The spec drift
since 4.0.0 is limited to a few schema fields and the reordering of
generated types.
Read the bundle ID, version and build from an ipa, and report what App
Store Connect is known to reject: missing Info.plist keys, no compiled
icon, a profile that isn't an App Store one, get-task-allow. Missing
Xcode-stamped keys (DT*) are reported as warnings.
Upload an ipa through the Build Uploads API: create the upload, reserve
the file, send the parts to the pre-signed URLs without credentials,
commit, and poll until Apple accepts or rejects the build, reporting its
errors. Reads are retried, writes to App Store Connect are not, and an
ambiguous commit is resolved by reading the file state.
GET /v1/bundleIds/{id}/app does not exist (404 PATH_ERROR). Look the app
up with the bundleId filter of /v1/apps instead. The request is made by
hand through the same auth and error handling, because generating the
operation would add ~10k lines for one lookup.
Refresh a pre-signed URL when it expires within 60 seconds, since the
local clock and the storage backend's may disagree. The current time is
read from the date dependency so the margin can be tested.
Rebased on current main. Since Console moved to XCLIUtils, UploadCommand now imports it and prints through d.out (it no longer built, as @gulian reported in #117). Two additions from that report: the --wait timeout says the build is still PROCESSING and mentions asset catalogs not compiled by actool, and the local check flags a missing UISupportedInterfaceOrientations~ipad on iPad apps (ITMS-90474).

Enforce the processing deadline across requests and retries.
When status requests are slow or need retries, --wait can run substantially longer than 30 minutes because elapsed counts only polling sleeps. Apply a monotonic deadline to requests, retry backoff, and polling sleeps.

Recognize tvOS icon metadata before rejecting the archive.
A tvOS IPA can identify its primary icon with a string in CFBundleIcons.CFBundlePrimaryIcon. If it has no top-level CFBundleIconName, this check reports an error and blocks the default upload. Validate the tvOS icon format separately from the iOS format.

Update checkIcon to validate tvOS icon metadata separately from the iOS format:
recognize a string in CFBundleIcons.CFBundlePrimaryIcon as a valid tvOS primary
icon when CFBundleIconName is absent, while preserving the existing iOS
validation.

Check the profile expiration date.
When an otherwise valid IPA contains an expired profile, --check reports no errors and a normal upload proceeds without local feedback. App Store Connect may reject the build. Report an error when ExpirationDate is in the past.

Add an expiration check to the profile validation flow in IPAInspector: when
profile["ExpirationDate"] is a Date that is at or before the current time,
report an error for the expired embedded.mobileprovision. Leave the existing
profile checks unchanged.

What does this PR do?
Adds
xtool upload <ipa>, which sends an.ipato App Store Connect through Apple's public Build Uploads API with an API key. It works the same on Linux, macOS and WSL and needs neither Xcode nor Transporter.xtool auth login --mode key(App Store Connect API key, App Manager or Admin role)..ipa, finds the app (GET /v1/apps?filter[bundleId]=..., or--app-id), creates the build upload, reserves the file, sends the parts to the pre-signed URLs, commits, and with--waitpolls until Apple has processed the build, printing Apple's errors if it fails and its warnings if it succeeds..appinPayload/; missingCFBundleIdentifier,CFBundleShortVersionStringorCFBundleVersion; noCFBundleIconNameor noAssets.car; missing, unreadable or non App Store profile;get-task-allowtrue; profile for another bundle ID (wildcards accepted). Missing Xcode-stamped keys (DT*,BuildMachineOSBuild) are a warning.--checkruns only this check (no login),--dry-runalso resolves the app,--skip-checkuploads anyway.It is useful on its own for an
.ipabuilt and signed elsewhere (for example on a Mac). Building one on Linux that App Store Connect accepts also needs #321, #323, #325 (asset catalogs) and #326 (distribution signing).Implementation notes:
IPAInspector(XKit) does the local check, offline.BuildUploader(XKit) uses its ownDeveloperAPIClientwith the existing ASC auth middleware.Authorizationheader leaks there (tested). Up to 4 parts in parallel, read by offset from disk; an expired part URL is refreshed by re-reading the reservation.ClientError; they are unwrapped, otherwise every 401/403 would have been retried (caught by a test).GET /v1/appsthrough the same middlewares: the spec'sGET /v1/bundleIds/{id}/appanswers404 PATH_ERRORon the real API, and generatingapps_getCollectionwould add about 10k lines for one call.make api: the rename step used BSD-onlysed -i ''and[[:<:]]; it now usesperl -piwith\b, which behaves the same with GNU and BSD tools.Generated client
Six operations are added to the generator filter:
buildUploads_{create,get,delete}InstanceandbuildUploadFiles_{create,get,update}Instance. Operations rather than whole tags, which would also pull in the relationship endpoints.The client was regenerated with swift-openapi-generator 1.7.2, not the 1.13.1 in
Package.resolved. The checked-in code was produced by 1.7.2 (from spec 4.0.0), andPackage.resolvedmoved to 1.13.1 later without a regeneration. Runningmake apias is would switch the output format (Types+*.swift,public import) and add about 21k lines unrelated to this PR. Method check: 1.7.2 with spec 4.5.1 and the old filter reproducesClient.swiftexactly, with a 64-line diff inTypes.swift(spec drift from 4.0.0 to 4.5.1). The diff here is therefore that drift, a reordering of generated types, and the new operations. The spec is Apple's 4.5.1, downloaded on 2026-10-11 (base.jsonsha2567518d3a94a8bd701ac25c1c601b95b8f53aad92091affb15a2a9d331713dac1a).This is why #143 matters: without a pinned spec, two regenerations at different dates differ. Happy to split the regeneration into its own commit or PR, or to wait for #143.
