App Center Command Line Interface (CLI)

Visual Studio App Center command line interface (CLI) is a unified tool for running App Center services from the command line. Our aim is to offer a concise and powerful tool for our developers to use App Center services and easily script a sequence of commands that they'd like to execute. You can currently login and view/configure all the apps that you have access to in App Center.

Prerequisites

The recommended Node.js version is 12 or higher.

Installation

npm install --location=global appcenter-cli

Once installed, use the appcenter command. See below for the available commands.

Getting Help

To get a top level list of the available commands, run appcenter help.

App Center provides SDK support directly within the App Center portal. Any time you need help, just sign in to App Center, then choose 'Contact support' inside the help menu on the upper right of the App Center portal and our dedicated support team will respond to your questions and feedback.
