app-store-deploy

app-store-deploy is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from makifbaysal/tasktrooper. It costs 50 tokens per session (1,840 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A mobile release pipeline for building signed apps and sending them to Apple's TestFlight or Google's Play internal track. These are private testing areas in the two main app stores before public release.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when setting up fastlane and GitHub Actions for iOS or Android releases. It helps build signed files, upload test versions, and map staged deployments to the correct store tracks.
Why use it?
It turns store testing and release steps into a repeatable process and addresses the difficult part: securely signing the app. It also separates test, pre-release, and production destinations.

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 A, and why

app-store-deploy scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 5d 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

App Store Deploy (mobile)

Overview

Mobile does not deploy to a cloud you run — it deploys to Apple's and Google's stores, so there is no GCP/AWS split. The CD pipeline builds a signed artifact and uploads it to a test track (TestFlight / Play internal), which is the mobile equivalent of a staged deploy. Read [[ci-cd-pipeline-authoring]] for the workflow naming/dispatch contract; this skill fills in the store steps.

Core principle: Signing is the hard part, not the upload. Get reproducible, secret-driven signing right and the release is a one-command fastlane lane.

Set up the pipeline

If the repo has no fastlane/ yet, create it directly: Fastfile lanes beta (stage) and release (prod, store-executor driven), per the iOS/Android sections below, plus deploy-stage/preprod/prod.yml workflow files. There is no search_boilerplate_catalog tool in this agent's tool list — don't call it.

Environment mapping

  • stage → internal test track: TestFlight (iOS) / Play internal track (Android).
  • preprod → TestFlight external group / Play closed (beta) track.
  • prod → App Store / Play production — the workflow file must still contain prod/production/release so the pipeline's prod_deploy check detects it, but nothing dispatches it directly: mobile ships through a batch delivery profile. A merged mobile task joins the component's draft release and waits in done; a human cuts the release on the Deploy tab, and the release engineer then starts the build (store executor) or lets a tag push trigger it (github_actions executor — see [[ci-cd-pipeline-authoring]]'s batch section).

iOS — TestFlight

  • Build on a macOS runner (runs-on: macos-26; macos-14 is deprecated since 2026-07-06 and unsupported from 2026-11-02, and cannot run Xcode 26, which every App Store Connect upload has needed since 2026-04-28). Select the Xcode version the app needs (≥26) with xcode-select/xcodes; Xcode 27 needs macOS Tahoe 26.6+ on the runner image.
  • Signing via fastlane match (certs/profiles in a private git repo, decrypted with MATCH_PASSWORD) — never check certificates into the app repo.
  • Auth to App Store Connect with an API key (.p8 + key id + issuer id), not an Apple ID password.
  • Lane: fastlane build_app → upload_to_testflight. For prod, submit for review (fastlane deliver).

app-store-deploy is a skill published in the GitHub repository makifbaysal/tasktrooper (113 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 50 tokens to every session and 1,840 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-10-05.
