What is ios-app-store-submission?

A release workflow for packaging and submitting iOS apps to Apple's App Store using Fastlane or Expo's EAS tools. It covers native Swift apps and projects built with React Native, Expo, Flutter, or Capacitor.

Use it to create an Xcode archive, configure signing, upload builds to TestFlight, and submit apps through App Store Connect.

It helps handle app archiving, code signing, validation, and uploading without having to piece together the release process yourself.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00142	$0.07427
Opus 5	$0.00071	$0.03714
Sonnet 5	$0.00028	$0.01485
Haiku 4.5	$0.00014	$0.00743

Security

Grade A, and why

ios-app-store-submission 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 12d 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.

iOS App Store Submission

Solo-developer pipeline for shipping iOS apps to the App Store. Two pipeline shapes:

Fastlane — own-your-pipeline, runs locally or on your CI. Right for native (Swift/UIKit) apps and bare React Native / Flutter / Capacitor projects without EAS.
EAS Build + Submit — Expo's hosted pipeline. Right for Expo apps and bare React Native projects already on EAS. Collapses Phases 1–4 into two CLI commands (eas build, eas submit).

Framework-aware build routing collapses to a single Xcode workspace (or a remote EAS build) before Phase 2; the rest of the pipeline is framework-agnostic.

Kernel: 11 axioms

Apple changes the rules constantly. Xcode versions, App Review Guidelines, required-reason APIs, privacy-manifest rules, screenshot specs, and ITMS error codes all drift. The current source of truth is always App Store Connect + the live App Review Guidelines + the Xcode release notes for the version you're submitting from — never this skill. Verify before relying on any specific number, key name, or URL in the references.
The .xcarchive is the choke point. Whatever the framework, Phase 2 must produce a valid archive with embedded dSYMs, a Distribution-signed binary, and a matching App Store provisioning profile. After that, the pipeline is identical regardless of framework.
Signing failures masquerade as build failures. When gym or xcodebuild archive fails, suspect signing first: certificate expired, profile missing entitlement, bundle ID mismatch, "Automatically manage signing" fighting a manual profile, match repo out of sync. Read the exact error string in the log, not the build summary. Beware Xcode's cloud signing: a first archive can succeed without any local Distribution cert (Apple holds the key), then subsequent archives fail with No Accounts / No signing certificate "iOS Distribution" found once the cloud session lapses. Always create a local cert before relying on automatic signing for repeat builds — see references/OPERATOR-PATTERNS.md OP-4 through OP-6.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
