build-app-local

build-app-local is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from akiotanaka847/qaio-desktop. It costs 55 tokens per session (868 once invoked), scanned C, a copy of build-app-local, MIT.

A local macOS build procedure for the Qaio app, including its Rust engine and desktop package. It creates a universal app that runs on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs, then prepares the disk image for Apple distribution checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build, sign, notarize, verify, and package a Qaio macOS release locally. It requires Apple signing credentials and the app's configured service keys.
Why use it?
It provides a manual release path when the normal continuous-integration build is unavailable or broken. It also handles signing, notarization, attaching Apple's approval, verification, and copying the final disk image to the Desktop.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade C, and why

build-app-local scanned grade C with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 90 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/build-app-local

Manual macOS build. CI broken? Use this. Normal path = /release.

Pre-reqs

Env vars set in shell:

  • APPLE_SIGNING_IDENTITY — Developer ID string
  • APPLE_API_KEY — App Store Connect key ID
  • APPLE_API_KEY_PATH — path to .p8
  • APPLE_API_ISSUER — issuer UUID
  • TAURI_SIGNING_PRIVATE_KEY + TAURI_SIGNING_PRIVATE_KEY_PASSWORD
  • POSTHOG_KEY · POSTHOG_HOST · SUPABASE_URL · SUPABASE_ANON_KEY · SENTRY_DSN

Flow

# 0. One-time: ensure both macOS rustup targets installed
rustup target add aarch64-apple-darwin x86_64-apple-darwin

# 1. Clean stale
cd ..  # workspace root
rm -rf app/src-tauri/target/universal-apple-darwin/release/bundle
rm -rf app/dist

# 2. Build engine sidecar for BOTH arches (required for universal)
cargo build --release --target aarch64-apple-darwin -p qaio-engine-server
cargo build --release --target x86_64-apple-darwin -p qaio-engine-server

# 3. Build + auto-sign the app (universal fat binary)
cd app
pnpm tauri build --target universal-apple-darwin

Tauri signs .app. Does NOT notarize DMG. Must do manually:

# 4. Submit DMG to Apple for notarization (note universal path)
DMG="src-tauri/target/universal-apple-darwin/release/bundle/dmg/Qaio_${VERSION}_universal.dmg"
xcrun notarytool submit "$DMG" \
  --key "$APPLE_API_KEY_PATH" \
  --key-id "$APPLE_API_KEY" \
  --issuer "$APPLE_API_ISSUER" \
  --wait

# 5. Staple ticket to DMG
xcrun stapler staple "$DMG"

# 6. Verify
xcrun stapler validate "$DMG"
spctl -a -vvv -t install "$DMG"
lipo -info "$(hdiutil attach "$DMG" -nobrowse -mountpoint /tmp/hmnt -quiet && echo /tmp/hmnt/*.app/Contents/MacOS/qaio-engine)"
# → expect: "Architectures in the fat file: ... x86_64 arm64"
hdiutil detach /tmp/hmnt -quiet

Output

cp "$DMG" ~/Desktop/Qaio-${VERSION}.dmg

Verify install

  1. Open DMG on clean Mac
  2. Drag to Applications
  3. Launch — no Gatekeeper warning
  4. Check "About Qaio" version matches

Common issues

  • "App is damaged" — stapling failed. Re-staple.
  • Notarization rejected — xcrun notarytool log <submission-id> --key ... to see reason.
  • Code sign identity not found — check security find-identity -v -p codesigning. Must match $APPLE_SIGNING_IDENTITY exactly.
  • Slow notarization — Apple servers variable. 2-15 min typical.
