Find the right build
- Latest build:
asc builds info --app "APP_ID" --latest --version "1.2.3" --platform IOS
- Next safe build number:
asc builds next-build-number --app "APP_ID" --version "1.2.3" --platform IOS

asc builds expire-all --app "APP_ID" --older-than 90d --dry-run
- Apply expiration:
asc builds expire-all --app "APP_ID" --older-than 90d --confirm
- Single build:
asc builds expire --build-id "BUILD_ID" --confirm
