How to Navigate (CAEOAS Affordances)

Every JSON response contains an "affordances" field with ready-to-run commands — IDs already filled in. Start from the App Clip and navigate to experiences and localizations.

{
  "id": "clip-abc",
  "appId": "6443417124",
  "bundleId": "com.example.MyApp.Clip",
  "affordances": {
    "listAppClips": "asc app-clips list --app-id 6443417124",
    "listExperiences": "asc app-clip-experiences list --app-clip-id clip-abc"
  }
}

Typical Workflow

Set up an App Clip experience with localizations

# 1. Find the App Clip for your app
asc app-clips list --app-id 6443417124 --pretty

# 2. Create a default experience (copy --app-clip-id from the listExperiences affordance)
asc app-clip-experiences create \
  --app-clip-id clip-abc \
  --action OPEN \
  --pretty

# 3. Add an English localization (copy --experience-id from the listLocalizations affordance)
asc app-clip-experience-localizations create \
  --experience-id exp-xyz \
  --locale en-US \
  --subtitle "Order faster with your loyalty card" \
  --pretty

# 4. Add a French localization
asc app-clip-experience-localizations create \
  --experience-id exp-xyz \
  --locale fr-FR \
  --subtitle "Commandez plus vite avec votre carte" \
  --pretty

# 5. Review all localizations
asc app-clip-experience-localizations list --experience-id exp-xyz --output table
