Quick Start
Get up and running with AppStore Copilot in under 5 minutes.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, make sure you have:
- An AppStore Copilot account (sign up at the dashboard)
- An API key (create one in Settings → API Keys)
- Node.js 18+ (for CLI usage)
Step 1: Install the CLI
Install the AppStore Copilot CLI globally using npm:
npm install -g @appstorecopilot/cli
Verify the installation:
asc --version
Step 2: Authenticate
Log in with your API key:
asc auth login# Or provide the key directlyasc auth login --key asc_live_xxxxxxxxxx
API Key Storage
Your API key is stored securely in your system keychain. You can also use the ASC_API_KEY environment variable for CI/CD.
Step 3: Create a Project
Create a new project to manage your app:
# Create project interactivelyasc projects create# Or via APIcurl -X POST https://api.appstorecopilot.com/v1/projects \-H "Authorization: Bearer $ASC_API_KEY" \-H "Content-Type: application/json" \-d '{"name": "My Awesome App","appStoreAppId": "123456789"}'
Step 4: Sync Store Metadata
Pull your existing metadata from the App Store or Play Store:
# Pull from App Storeasc pull --store appstore# Pull from Play Storeasc pull --store playstore# Pull from both storesasc pull --store both
Store Credentials
You'll need to set up your App Store Connect and/or Google Play Console credentials in the dashboard before pulling metadata. See the Authentication guide for details.
Step 5: Translate to New Languages
Use AI to translate your metadata to new languages:
# Translate to specific languagesasc translate --from en-US --to es-ES,fr-FR,de-DE# Translate to all supported languagesasc translate --from en-US --to all
Step 6: Push Changes
Push your changes back to the stores:
# Push to App Storeasc push --store appstore# Push to both storesasc push --store both
Draft Mode
By default, changes are pushed as drafts and won't be visible to users until you publish them. Use asc publish to submit for review.
