IOS Ship

MERGED (2026-06-12) — kept as a redirect for muscle memory. iOS development (build/run/debug/review/test/screenshots/ASO) is now the /ios super skill; iOS release (greenlight → sign → archive → TestFlight → App Store → OTA sync) is /ship's Phase 4.7 (references/ios-release.md). Invoking /ios-ship routes to those.

File contents

/ios-ship → merged into /ios + /ship

This skill's content moved on 2026-06-12 (user-requested consolidation so the major skills mirror each other: /carmack ↔ /ship, with /ios as the Apple counterpart of /carmack):

Developing, building, debugging, reviewing, testing, store assets → invoke /ios (~/.claude/skills/ios/SKILL.md). It routes to xcodebuildmcp, axiom skills, greenlight, asc sub-skills (asc-cli-usage, asc-shots-pipeline, asc-metadata-sync, aso-audit, app-store-screenshots, capacitor-ios, xcode-test, …).
Releasing (archive, signing, TestFlight, App Store submit, Capacitor OTA web-first sync, App Review requirements table) → invoke /ship; its Phase 4.7 loads ~/.claude/skills/ship/references/ios-release.md.
Simulator streaming / agent eyes (MJPEG stream, taps, a11y tree, camera injection, permissions) → the /serve-sim skill (~/.claude/skills/serve-sim), documented in /ios's "Driving + testing the UI" section.

When invoked: decide which side of the line the user's ask is on and invoke /ios or /ship accordingly. Do not duplicate their content here.
