# geni app build-status (/cli/resource/app/build-status)



```sh
geni app build-status [id] [flags]
```

Reads the live app's Vite build state: status, error message, and when it last built. Useful after [`publish`](/cli/resource/publish) to confirm the build went through, or when a handler change isn't taking effect.

Build status is one of `pending`, `queued`, `building`, `ready`, or `error`.
