An AI agent skill that runs pre-submission checks on your iOS/macOS project to catch common mistakes that lead to App Store rejection.
Preflight helps developers catch potential App Store Review guideline violations before submitting their app. It scans your Xcode project, source code, metadata, and configuration files to flag issues that commonly result in rejections from Apple.
This skill integrates with the asc CLI (brew install asc) and the ASC CLI Skills to pull and inspect App Store metadata.
Most metadata examples assume the canonical JSON layout written by
asc metadata pull. If you are starting from fastlane metadata, adapt the path
examples or pull the canonical asc layout first.
