Appstore review readiness

Skill Xopoko/build-swift-apps/skills/appstore-review-readiness

Validate App Store submission readiness and execute prepared review actions with current `asc` commands. Use after appstore-release-planner chooses the review path, or when the user directly asks to validate, stage, submit, monitor, cancel, or repair ASC review blockers.From its SKILL.md

App Store Review Readiness

Use asc validate and current review commands. Do not use legacy submit-preflight or submit-create shortcuts.

For go/no-go planning, first-submission strategy, or choosing which release skill owns a blocker, use appstore-release-planner first. This skill owns command execution once the review-readiness path is selected.

Preconditions: auth configured; app/version/build IDs resolved; build processing complete unless using --wait; metadata, app info, screenshots, review details, content rights, encryption, pricing, availability, and App Privacy expected complete.

Command Plan Helper

For a deterministic dry-run command plan, run the helper from the plugin root:

python3 "$PLUGIN_ROOT/skills/appstore-review-readiness/scripts/review_readiness_plan.py" \
  --app "APP_ID" --version "1.2.3" --platform IOS --build "BUILD_ID" \
  --version-id "VERSION_ID" --submission-id "SUBMISSION_ID" \
  --metadata-dir "./metadata" --include-submit

The helper prints commands only; it does not call ASC, mutate review state, or read credentials. Pass --json for machine-readable output. Pass --confirming-actions only after manually verifying that generated --confirm commands are intended.

Workflow

Generate the helper plan unless the user requested one specific command.
Run read-only readiness checks first: processed build state, normal validate, strict validate, and version-id validate when available.
Repair blockers in the smallest owning surface: encryption, content rights, metadata, screenshots, IAP/subscriptions, or App Privacy.
Submit only after dry-run output is clean and the user has clearly selected the build/version to send.
Monitor by app, version ID, or submission ID; cancel only when the active submission is identified and the user intends cancellation.

For macOS App Store review, use the same flow with --platform MAC_OS.
