# wjs-publishing-appstore Take an iOS app that's already building to **TestFlight** and ship it to the **App Store**: prepare the **screenshots** + **description/metadata**, then use the existing **fastlane** to **submit for review**. This is the App Store counterpart to **`wjs-publishing-testflight`**, which is a **prerequisite** — that skill owns build / signing (`match`) / CI / the `beta` lane. This skill assumes that's done and only adds the listing + a deliberate `release` lane. Reference implementations: **VoiceDrop**, **Cathier**. ## Mental model ``` git push → main → beta lane → TestFlight (unchanged, automatic) fastlane release → release lane → metadata + screenshots → submit for review ``` Submitting to review is high-stakes, so it is **never** triggered by a push — it is the explicit `fastlane release` command you run on purpose. ## Prerequisites - `wjs-publishing-testflight` already set up: `match` appstore certs, the `ASC_API_*` secrets, a working `beta` lane, and **at least one build already uploaded to TestFlight** (this also creates the App Store Connect app record). - Apple credentials / ASC API key: see [[apple-developer-credentials]] and the prerequisites table i

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add jianshuo/claude-skills --skill wjs-publishing-appstore --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 jianshuo/claude-skills, a repository with 112 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.
