Release Review
Think of this as having a senior iOS/macOS developer do a final pass before you ship. It walks through your Xcode project looking for the stuff that causes App Store rejections, security holes, privacy issues, and UX problems that power users will complain about. The review is organized by severity with actual code fixes, not just "fix this." It covers the practical things: hardcoded secrets, missing Keychain usage, broken empty states, Info.plist gaps, notarization setup. Honest take: this is most useful when you're close to shipping and need someone to catch the obvious mistakes you stopped seeing after the hundredth build.

Release Review for Apple Platforms
Performs a comprehensive pre-release audit of macOS and iOS applications from a senior developer's perspective. Identifies critical issues that could cause rejection, security vulnerabilities, privacy concerns, and UX problems—with actionable fixes.
When This Skill Activates
Use this skill when the user:
- Says "review for release", "release review", or "pre-release audit"
- Asks for "senior developer review" or "critical review"
- Mentions preparing for "App Store", "TestFlight", or "notarization"
- Wants to know what "power users might complain about"
- Asks to "review before shipping" or "check before release"
Review Process
Phase 1: Project Discovery
First, understand the project:
# Find project type
Glob: **/*.xcodeproj or **/*.xcworkspace
Glob: **/Info.plist
Glob: **/project.pbxproj
Identify:
- Platform (macOS, iOS, or both)
- App type (standard app, menu bar app, widget, extension)
- Distribution method (App Store, direct download, TestFlight)
Phase 2: Security Review
Load and apply: security-checklist.md
