iOS Quality And Release

Acknowledgement: Shared by Peter Bamuhigire, techguypeter.com, [phone].

Use When

• Planning, implementing, or reviewing iOS testing, TDD, debugging, stability, crash prevention, App Store readiness, or release evidence.
• The task mentions Swift Testing, XCTest, Device Hub, Xcode agents, Xcode Cloud, AI Evaluations, App Intents Testing, LLDB, Instruments, MetricKit, crash triage, regression gates, TestFlight, App Review, privacy labels, or production readiness.
• A retired iOS quality/release skill is referenced by name.

Do Not Use When

• The task is only general implementation; use ios-development.
• The task is primarily security/RBAC; use ios-security-and-rbac.
• The task is primarily StoreKit monetization; use ios-monetization plus this skill only for release evidence.

Required Inputs

• Feature scope, risk level, test targets, crash or defect context, release channel, App Store requirements, and acceptance criteria.

Workflow

1. Load ios-development for baseline implementation rules.
2. Choose the quality lane: TDD, debugging, stability hardening, AI/App Intents evaluation, Device Hub testing, or App Store release.
3. Load only the matching reference.
