App Store Connect CLI 4.5.0 sharpens release automation

App Store Connect CLI 4.5.0 adds public App Store search-rank checks, published-territory audits, global remove-from-sale workflows, and richer TestFlight tester reports. Pagination warnings and tester resolution make its automation safer for CI and AI-agent workflows.

// ANALYSIS

This release focuses on the operational gaps that make App Store Connect automation risky: visibility, completeness, and destructive actions. It pushes the CLI closer to a dependable control plane for multi-app teams.

–Search-rank reporting gives developers a lightweight way to monitor App Store visibility without manually checking storefront results
–Published-territory counts help audit regional availability across an entire app portfolio
–The remove-from-sale command pairs a destructive action with explicit confirmation and final-state verification
–Tester resolution turns opaque TestFlight metrics into reports humans and agents can actually act on
–Pagination signals reduce the chance that automation quietly makes decisions from incomplete data
