ios-bootstrap-testflight

Agent skill fromLeanmcp/gateway-skills

Scaffold a native iOS app (SwiftUI, no dependencies) from nothing, run it in the Simulator, and archive + upload it to TestFlight entirely from the command line. Bundles working scripts for icon generation, simulator run, and signed upload via the App Store Connect API. Use this whenever the user wants to build, run, ship, or debug an iOS/iPhone/iPad app, mentions Xcode, SwiftUI, .xcodeproj, xcodebuild, simctl, provisioning, code signing, App Store Connect, TestFlight, archiving, or "get this on my phone" — and also when an existing iOS build is failing on icons, signing, teams, destinations, or duplicate build numbers.

4almost entirely CLI. Xcode's UI is only needed for first-time account setup.

11| `references/testflight.md` | Signing, archiving, uploading. **Holds the user's Team ID and API key details.** |
12| `references/appstore.md` | Public release — screenshots, metadata, privacy policy, review. Read the 4.3 risk section *before* the user invests in assets. |

15## Scripts
16
17Copy into the project's `workspace/` and run from the project root. They
18auto-detect the `.xcodeproj` and scheme, so they work unmodified in any project.

20```bash
21mkdir -p workspace
22cp ~/.claude/skills/ios-bootstrap-testflight/scripts/* workspace/
23chmod +x workspace/*.sh
24```

26| Script | Does |
27|---|---|
28| `make_icon.swift` | Renders a 1024×1024 App Store icon into the asset catalog |
29| `run.sh` | Build → boot simulator → install → launch |
30| `upload_testflight.sh` | Bump build number → icon → archive → upload to TestFlight |
31| `screenshots.sh` | Captures App Store screenshots at Apple's exact required sizes |

33```bash
34time ./workspace/run.sh # test locally
35time ./workspace/upload_testflight.sh --validate # archive only, no API key needed
