MiaoYan App Store Workflow

Use this skill only when the maintainer explicitly asks for App Store build or submission work.

App Store vs GitHub Release

Area	App Store	GitHub Release
Build intent	App Store distribution	Direct download and update feed
Entitlements	App Store entitlements	Developer ID entitlements
Sparkle	Not included	Included
Credentials	App Store Connect credentials	Developer ID and notarization credentials

Build And Validate

bash scripts/build-appstore.sh
xcrun altool --validate-app -f build/AppStore/Export/MiaoYan.app -t macos --apiKey <KEY_ID> --apiIssuer <ISSUER_ID>

Use Xcode Organizer for upload when that is safer than CLI upload.

Pre-Submission Checklist

• MARKETING_VERSION matches the intended release version.
• CURRENT_PROJECT_VERSION is incremented when required.
• App Store entitlements are used.
• The App Store configuration builds cleanly.
• Screenshots and metadata are ready in App Store Connect when needed.

Safety Rules

• Never upload to App Store Connect without explicit maintainer confirmation.
• Never commit App Store Connect API keys, certificates, passwords, or local credential paths.
• Validate before upload.
