Apple Search Ads, Printing Press CLI

Prerequisites: Install the CLI

This skill drives the apple-search-ads-pp-cli binary. You must verify the CLI is installed before invoking any command from this skill. If it is missing, install it first:

1. Install via the Printing Press installer. It defaults binaries to $HOME/.local/bin on macOS/Linux and %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\PrintingPress\bin on Windows:

   npx -y @mvanhorn/printing-press-library install apple-search-ads --cli-only
   

2. Verify: apple-search-ads-pp-cli --version
3. Ensure the reported install directory is on $PATH for the agent/runtime that will invoke this skill.

If the npx install fails (no Node, offline, etc.), fall back to a direct Go install (requires Go 1.26.4 or newer). This installs into $GOPATH/bin (default $HOME/go/bin), so add that directory to $PATH instead:

go install github.com/mvanhorn/printing-press-library/library/developer-tools/apple-search-ads/cmd/apple-search-ads-pp-cli@latest

If --version reports "command not found" after install, the runtime cannot see the binary directory on $PATH. Do not proceed with skill commands until verification succeeds.

apple-search-ads-pp-cli is a native Go CLI covering all campaign, keyword, and reporting operations plus a local SQLite cache for offline analytics. UA teams get bid optimization suggestions, budget pacing forecasts, and cross-org template sync without hitting API rate limits.
