bundles-and-licensing
Revenue beyond the single-app price tag — own-app bundles, Family Sharing as a conversion lever, cross-developer bundles & suites, and institutional licensing via Group Purchases / Apple School & Business Manager. Use when a developer has multiple apps, a subscription worth sharing, complementary indie partners, or school/clinic/business buyers.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Bundles & Licensing Four ways one piece of software earns more than one price tag. ## When This Skill Activates - A portfolio developer asks how apps can sell each other ("bundle my apps?") - Deciding whether to enable Family Sharing on a subscription or purchase - Exploring partnerships with complementary indie apps - Schools, clinics, or businesses keep asking "how do we buy 30 seats?" - The store-growth audit flags P8.5, P8.6, or P8.7 ## 1. Own-app bundles (available now) App bundles group up to 10 of your own paid apps — or apps sharing a subscription — at a bundle price, with **Complete My Bundle** crediting what a user already paid. - ✅ Portfolio play: your catalog cross-sells itself on every member app's product page — a discovery surface, not just a discount (pairs with the checkbox-storefront and portfolio tactics in `app-store/marketing-strategy`). - ✅ Price the bundle at "second app ~half off, third+ nearly free" — the goal is basket size and page presence, not margin per unit. - ❌ Bundling apps with no shared audience; the bundle card confuses both product pages. - Mechanics: paid apps only (or one subscription spanning the bundle); free apps can't bundle. ## 2.

What does the bundles-and-licensing skill do?
Revenue beyond the single-app price tag — own-app bundles, Family Sharing as a conversion lever, cross-developer bundles & suites, and institutional licensing via Group Purchases / Apple School & Business Manager. Use when a developer has multiple apps, a subscription worth sharing, complementary indie partners, or school/clinic/business buyers.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add rshankras/claude-code-apple-skills --skill bundles-and-licensing --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From rshankras/claude-code-apple-skills, a repository with 589 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
