App Store Deployment Guide

Complete guide to deploying iOS apps to the Apple App Store. Covers Apple Developer accounts (individual and organization), certificates, provisioning, App S...

Security Scan

This is an instruction-only guide for App Store deployment that is internally consistent with its stated purpose and requests no unusual system access or credentials.

Purpose & Capability

The name and description describe an App Store deployment guide and the SKILL.md content matches that purpose. The skill requests no binaries, environment variables, or config paths, which is appropriate for a documentation/guide skill. The only external action is a link to a paid 'Premium' edition hosted on Gumroad, which is consistent with a freemium guide.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md provides step-by-step guidance and does not instruct the agent to read local files, access environment variables, run shell commands, or transmit user data to unknown endpoints. It contains checklist items and advice (e.g., demo account required) but does not direct the agent to collect or exfiltrate sensitive information.

Install Mechanism

No install specification or code files are present. This is the lowest-risk model: nothing is downloaded or written to disk by the skill itself.

Credentials

The skill declares no required credentials or config paths. That is proportional for a textual guide; nothing in the instructions attempts to access secrets or unrelated services.

Persistence & Privilege

The skill is not marked always:true and does not request elevated or persistent privileges. It doesn't attempt to modify other skills or system settings.

Assessment

This skill is a text guide and appears coherent and low-risk. Before you rely on it: (1) remember the SKILL.md is informational only—do not paste real Apple or customer credentials into third-party forms; (2) the premium content is sold via an external Gumroad link—treat payment/identity decisions as you would on any external marketplace and verify the seller if concerned; (3) verify time-sensitive claims (Apple rules change frequently) against Apple's official docs; and (4) if the guide asks for demo/test accounts in your app review process, create limited-scope test accounts and never share production credentials.

A complete, practical guide to getting your iOS app published — from zero to live on the App Store. Based on real deployment experience, not just documentation.

What This Skill Covers

1. Apple Developer Account Setup — Individual vs Organization, D-U-N-S numbers, business entity requirements
2. Certificates & Code Signing — Development, distribution, provisioning profiles, push notifications
3. App Store Connect — App listing, metadata, screenshots, privacy nutrition labels
4. Building & Submitting — Both Xcode (native) and Expo/EAS (React Native) paths
5. TestFlight — Internal and external beta testing
6. App Review — Common rejections and exactly how to fix them
7. Subscriptions & Revenue — Apple's commission, RevenueCat, Small Business Program
8. Privacy & Compliance — ATT, nutrition labels, export compliance
9. Post-Launch — Crash monitoring, ASO, phased releases

Key Gotchas (Preview)

These are the issues that cost real developers days of wasted time:

• ⚠️ Build number must increment every submission — or Apple silently rejects your upload. Hours wasted on free-tier build queues.
• ⚠️ Account deletion is REQUIRED — Apple mandates users can delete their account from within the app
• ⚠️ Password recovery is REQUIRED — No reset flow = guaranteed rejection
• ⚠️ Organization accounts need a D-U-N-S number — free but takes up to 30 days
• ⚠️ Privacy nutrition labels — you must declare every data type your app touches
• ⚠️ Demo account required — if your app has login, reviewers need test credentials

The premium version explains each of these in detail with step-by-step solutions.

Sample Workflow

"I have a React Native/Expo app ready to deploy. What do I need?"

The premium skill walks through:

1. Apple Developer enrollment ($99/year) — which account type and why
2. Certificate and provisioning profile setup
3. app.json / app.config.js configuration for EAS
4. eas build --platform ios with proper build profiles
5. TestFlight upload and beta testing strategy
6. App Store Connect metadata (with exact screenshot dimensions)
7. Submission and review preparation
8. Common rejection fixes with specific solutions
