iOS Quality And Release

Acknowledgement: Shared by Peter Bamuhigire, techguypeter.com, +256 784 464178.

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

Load ios-development for baseline implementation rules.
Choose the quality lane: TDD, debugging, stability hardening, AI/App Intents evaluation, Device Hub testing, or App Store release.
Load only the matching reference.
Produce executable tests, triage steps, release checklist updates, or review findings with concrete evidence.

Quality Standards

Risky code paths need deterministic tests before sign-off.
Debugging guidance must identify reproduction, instrumentation, suspected layer, and validation.
Release guidance must include App Store policy, privacy, performance, accessibility, and rollback evidence where applicable.
AI, App Intents, and Xcode-agent-assisted work require evaluation/test evidence, not only screenshots or manual review notes.

Anti-Patterns

Shipping iOS features with only manual happy-path testing.
Treating crashes as isolated stack traces without reproduction and regression tests.
Waiting until submission day to handle privacy labels, permissions, or review notes.

Outputs

iOS test plan, failing/passing tests, debug notes, crash RCA, stability checklist, App Store readiness checklist, or release evidence pack.
