Scan your iOS build before App Review, from the terminal
Point the CLI at a build and it reads the details App Review cares about: Info.plist, entitlements, privacy manifests and frameworks. The binary stays on your Mac.
Start in under a minute
Install it, sign in through your browser, and point it at a build. The review opens in the portal with answers already filled in from your build.
- macOS, with your token kept in the Keychain
- Needs a connected App Store Connect account

Frequently asked questions
Does my app binary get uploaded?
No. The build is read on your Mac and only the extracted details are sent to Appsium.
Does it use credits?
Scanning and opening the review in the portal does not. Running the analysis uses your normal Pre-Review Check credits.
Is there an MCP server?
Yes. The Appsium MCP server is separate from the CLI and connects with a browser sign-in. See the MCP server page.
What do I need?
An Appsium account and a connected App Store Connect account, which proves the bundle ID belongs to your team.
