About this capability

Prepare and validate a MiaoYan Mac App Store build. Not for GitHub Releases.

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by tw93/miaoyan in .agents/skills/appstore/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Use this skill only when the maintainer explicitly asks for App Store build or submission work.

Build And Validate

bash scripts/build-appstore.sh
xcrun altool --validate-app -f build/AppStore/Export/MiaoYan.app -t macos --apiKey <KEY_ID> --apiIssuer <ISSUER_ID>

Use Xcode Organizer for upload when that is safer than CLI upload.

Pre-Submission Checklist

  • MARKETING_VERSION matches the intended release version.
  • CURRENT_PROJECT_VERSION is incremented when required.
  • App Store entitlements are used.
  • The App Store configuration builds cleanly.
  • Screenshots and metadata are ready in App Store Connect when needed.
  • Submission copy ships with the build by default: derive Promotional Text and What's New (en and zh-Hans) from .github/RELEASE_NOTES.md, within App Store character limits (Promotional Text 170 chars), and hand them over with the build instead of waiting for the maintainer to ask at the submission form.

Safety Rules

  • Never upload to App Store Connect without explicit maintainer confirmation.
  • Never commit App Store Connect API keys, certificates, passwords, or local credential paths.
  • Validate before upload.
