Use When
- Planning or reviewing mobile delivery assets that span Android/iOS operations, app packaging, custom icons, RBAC, SaaS companion planning, Google Play readiness, App Store/TestFlight readiness, or Xcode Cloud evidence.
- The task references
mobile-custom-icons,mobile-rbac,mobile-saas-planning, orgoogle-play-store-review. - A mobile project needs operational documentation, app-store evidence, or cross-platform implementation coordination.
Do Not Use When
- The task is platform implementation only; use
android-development,ios-development, orkmp-development. - The task is only report UI; use
mobile-reports. - The task is iOS-only App Store release; use
ios-quality-and-release.
Required Inputs
- Target platforms, app distribution channels, icon/asset constraints, auth/RBAC model, SaaS backend assumptions, release timeline, and store policy obligations.
Workflow
- Load platform implementation skills first:
android-development,ios-development, orkmp-development. - Choose the operations concern: icon assets, mobile RBAC, SaaS planning, Play Store review, App Store/TestFlight evidence, or cross-platform release coordination.
- Load only the relevant reference below.
- Produce the operational artifact, checklist, implementation guidance, or review evidence required for launch.
Quality Standards
- Operational mobile work must be traceable: asset names, permissions, store evidence, release notes, and backend/API assumptions should be explicit.
- RBAC and SaaS plans must keep backend authority, offline behaviour, and platform UX states clear.
- Store review guidance must include privacy, permissions, policy risk, testing, and rollback notes.
Anti-Patterns
- Treating store review, icons, and RBAC as last-minute polish.
- Shipping mobile apps without documented backend contracts and offline/error-state expectations.
- Using icon libraries where a project explicitly requires custom PNG assets.
Outputs
- Mobile operations checklist, app asset manifest, RBAC matrix, SaaS companion app plan, Play Store review checklist, or release evidence.
Inputs
| Artefact | Produced by | Required? | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Signed release candidates | Android and iOS teams | required | Establishes shippable binaries |
| Store metadata and visual assets | Product/design owners | required | Supports review and listing consistency |
| Role, privacy, and support policies | Security/operations owners | required | Defines operational controls |
Decision Rules
| Condition | Action |
|---|---|
| Platform evidence differs | Track separate Android and iOS exceptions; do not average readiness |
| Signing credential custody is unclear | Stop release and assign an accountable owner |
| Store claim lacks matching in-app behaviour | Correct the claim or implementation before submission |
| Critical operational path has no support runbook | Block launch |
Degraded Mode
Without store-console, signing, CI, or device access, produce a missing-evidence register with owners. A document-only check cannot approve a mobile release. If a required operational capability is unavailable, keep the corresponding release gate open.
Domain Anti-Patterns
Reusing one platform's screenshots for the other. Fix: capture each supported device family.
Sharing signing secrets through project files. Fix: use controlled credential custody and rotation.
Treating store approval as production readiness. Fix: verify monitoring, support, rollback, and RBAC.
Publishing inconsistent privacy claims. Fix: reconcile manifests, disclosures, and runtime collection.
Combining platform failures into one status. Fix: report readiness and blockers per platform.
