App Store Release Director

Broad release orchestration. For focused asc work, delegate to appstore-connect-cli, appstore-id-resolver, appstore-archive-uploader, appstore-release-planner, appstore-review-readiness, appstore-metadata-sync, appstore-metadata-localizer, appstore-screenshot-pipeline, and appstore-signing-setup.

Workflow

  1. Discover release truth:
    • git root, workspace/project, scheme, bundle ID, version/build, deployment target, entitlements, generator ownership;
    • existing handoff/docs: apple-publishing-handoff.md, manifest JSON, release, appstore, testflight, fastlane, ExportOptions.plist.
  2. Verify Apple account/signing:
    • team, Team ID, API key, identities, Bundle ID resource/capabilities, distribution cert, provisioning profile;
    • keep .p8, .p12, profiles, passwords, and decoded plists out of git; prefer .codex-private/apple/ or a secret store.
  3. Prepare App Store Connect:
    • app record, platform, bundle, app info, categories, pricing/availability, age rating, privacy/support URLs, screenshots, App Privacy, review details, release option;
    • for subscriptions, verify products and Terms/EULA link. Standard EULA: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/.
  4. Compliance preflight:
    • production runtime config, legal URLs return 2xx/3xx, encryption/export compliance, privacy/tracking claims match code/SDKs.
  5. Build/test/archive/export/upload:
    • choose unique build number from live ASC state;
    • run required tests/smoke checks;
    • archive for generic/platform=iOS, export App Store IPA, validate, upload, wait for processing.
  6. Link build and submit/readiness:
    • attach processed build, resolve metadata-only issues before new binaries, cancel/complete old submissions if blocking.
  7. Finish evidence:
    • handoff/manifest: version/build, archive/IPA paths, SHA-256, delivery UUID, ASC build state, review submission ID, legal URLs, screenshots, remaining risks.

Rules

  • Operate from live repo/ASC/App Review state, not memory.
  • Never commit Apple secrets/profiles unless explicitly requested and the repo is intended for them.
  • Do not overwrite user changes or release docs without reading them.
  • Apple requirements change; verify current screenshots, privacy, subscriptions, and review behavior.
  • For legal text, draft only practical copy and state which business/legal facts need owner confirmation.
  • If blocked by Apple web-only UI, permissions, legal answers, or 2FA, stop with evidence and the smallest required user action.

Final Report

Report build/version, validation/upload status and delivery UUID, ASC build/review status, legal/privacy/screenshot/subscription/encryption state, files/artifacts changed, tests run, and anything not verified.

Grouped from the skills themselves: near-identical wordings counted once, and counted by distinct author, so one author publishing three of these counts once. Length counted with cl100k_base; the agent that loads this file may tokenize it differently.
