Do I need Xcode installed to use this skill?

Yes, this skill functions as a wrapper for Xcode command-line tools (xcodebuild and xcrun), so a local Xcode installation is required.

Can I use this for TestFlight builds?

Absolutely. The skill is designed to upload apps directly to App Store Connect, which makes them immediately available for TestFlight distribution.

What credentials are required for CLI uploading?

For direct CLI uploads, you will need to provide your App Store Connect API Key and Issuer ID when prompted by the tool.

Does this skill handle code signing automatically?

Yes, it utilizes the -allowProvisioningUpdates flag and extracts your Team ID from the project configuration to streamline the signing process during export.

How does it handle multiple schemes in a project?

The skill will list all available schemes found in your workspace or project and prompt you to select the specific one you wish to build and release.

About

This skill automates the complex manual steps required to prepare an iOS app for distribution, handling everything from project detection and scheme selection to IPA export and final upload. It identifies Team IDs, generates necessary ExportOptions configurations, and executes xcodebuild commands to create production-ready archives.
