ascelerate apps create-version <bundle-id> 2.1.0 --platform ios --release-type manual
The --release-type is optional — omitting it uses the previous version's setting.
For universal-purchase apps (one App Store record spanning iOS, macOS, tvOS, and/or visionOS), the same version string can exist once per platform. create-version and review submit default to iOS — pass --platform macos (or tvos, visionos) to target another platform. All other version-scoped commands (localizations, media, build attach, review preflight/info/attachments/resolve-issues/cancel-submission, phased release) accept an optional --platform as well; without it they prompt whenever a version (or active review submission) matches more than one platform — and refuse with a hint instead of prompting under --yes.
Copyright
ascelerate apps copyright <bundle-id>
ascelerate apps copyright <bundle-id> --set "2026 Your Name" --version 2.1.0 --platform macos
Without --set, prints the current copyright notice. Updating requires the version to be in an editable state.

Preflight checks
Before submitting for review, run preflight to verify that all required fields are filled in across every locale:
# Check the latest editable version
ascelerate apps review preflight <bundle-id>
# Check a specific version
ascelerate apps review preflight <bundle-id> --version 2.1.0
The command checks version state, build attachment, and then goes through each locale to verify localization fields (description, what's new, keywords, support URL), app info fields (name, subtitle, privacy policy URL), and screenshots:
