App Store Connect Reference
Reference for navigating App Store Connect to find crash reports, TestFlight feedback, performance metrics, and data export workflows.
When to Use This Reference
Use this reference when:
- Triaging crash reports in App Store Connect
- Reviewing TestFlight feedback from beta testers
- Monitoring performance metrics across app versions
- Exporting crash logs or metrics via the ASC API
- Deciding between App Store Connect and Xcode Organizer for crash analysis
Example Prompts
Questions you can ask Claude that will draw from this reference:
- "How do I find crash reports in App Store Connect?"
- "Where do I see TestFlight feedback screenshots?"
- "How do I compare crash rates between app versions?"
- "Why don't I see crashes in App Store Connect?"
- "How do I export crash data from the App Store Connect API?"
- "What's the difference between ASC and Xcode Organizer for crash triage?"
What's Covered
- Crashes dashboard navigation and filtering (platform, version, date range, device, OS)
- Key metrics: crash-free users, crash count, crash rate, affected devices
- Individual crash signature detail views with distribution data
- Downloading and symbolicating crash logs (.ips and .crash formats)
- TestFlight feedback: screenshots, device info, limitations (one-way only)
- Metrics dashboard: hangs, disk writes, launch time, memory, battery, scrolling
- Termination types (jetsam, watchdog, background task timeout) that don't produce crash reports
- App Store Connect API endpoints for automated data export
- Crash triage priority framework (P0-P3)
- Common questions: missing crashes, unsymbolicated stacks, ASC vs Organizer
Documentation Scope
This page documents the axiom-app-store-connect-ref reference skill -- the complete guide Claude uses when you need to navigate App Store Connect for crash and performance data.
For crash log parsing: Use the /axiom:analyze-crash command to parse downloaded crash logs.
For on-device metrics: See metrickit-ref for collecting field metrics programmatically via MetricKit.
