Skill Metadata

Name
build-distribution
Description
Use when preparing an Apple release — code signing, TestFlight upload, App Store submission, or app icons/CI across all platforms.
<objective> Covers app build, code signing, and distribution across all Apple platforms: certificate/profile management, TestFlight beta distribution, App Store submission, app icon/asset preparation, and StoreKit 2 in-app purchases/subscriptions.

Includes a release checklist (version/build number, layered Icon Composer app icon checked in default/dark/clear/tinted appearances, privacy manifest, release configuration, archive validation, TestFlight testing, screenshots, App Store metadata) and guidance on automating releases with fastlane and CI/CD (e.g. GitHub Actions).

Best practices favor automatic signing, TestFlight testing before any public release, incrementing the build number on every upload, and a mandatory privacy manifest for App Store submission. </objective>

Build & Distribution

App build, signing, and distribution for all Apple platforms.

Agent Workflow (MANDATORY)

Before ANY distribution, spawn 3 agents in parallel, one Agent call each with a name:

  1. fuse-ai-pilot:explore-codebase - Check existing build configuration
  2. fuse-ai-pilot:research-expert - Verify latest App Store requirements
  3. mcp__XcodeBuildMCP__show_build_settings - Review build settings

After implementation, run fuse-ai-pilot:sniper for validation.

Overview

When to Use

  • Preparing app for release
  • Configuring code signing
  • Uploading to TestFlight
  • Submitting to App Store
  • Creating app icons
  • CI/CD pipeline setup

Why Build Distribution Skill

| Feature | Benefit | |---------|---------| | Automatic signing | Simplifies certificate management | | TestFlight | Beta testing with users | | App Store | Public distribution | | CI/CD | Automated releases |

Reference Guide

| Need | Reference | |------|-----------| | Certificates, profiles | code-signing.md | | Beta testing | testflight.md | | App Store submission | app-store.md | | Icons, assets | app-icons.md | | In-app purchases, subscriptions | storekit2.md |

Release Checklist

  • [ ] Version and build number updated
  • [ ] Layered app icon (Icon Composer) checked in default/dark/clear/tinted appearances, incl. alternate icons (HIG app icons)
  • [ ] Privacy manifest (PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy)
  • [ ] Release configuration
  • [ ] Archive validates
  • [ ] TestFlight tested
  • [ ] Screenshots updated
  • [ ] App Store metadata complete

Best Practices

  1. Automatic signing - Let Xcode manage
  2. TestFlight first - Always beta test
  3. Increment build - Every upload needs new build number
  4. Privacy manifest - Required for App Store
  5. fastlane - Automate repetitive tasks
  6. CI/CD - GitHub Actions for automation
