Apple Developer Toolkit

Three tools in one skill: documentation search, App Store Connect management, and autonomous iOS app building.

Setup

Binaries auto-install on first use via Homebrew:

brew tap Abdullah4AI/tap && brew install appstore swiftship

Or run the setup script (included in skill):

bash scripts/setup.sh

For App Store Connect, authenticate:

appstore auth login --name "MyApp" --key-id "KEY_ID" --issuer-id "ISSUER_ID" --private-key /path/to/AuthKey.p8

Part 1: Documentation Search

node cli.js search "NavigationStack"
node cli.js symbols "UIView"
node cli.js doc "/documentation/swiftui/navigationstack"
node cli.js overview "SwiftUI"
node cli.js samples "SwiftUI"
node cli.js wwdc-search "concurrency"
node cli.js wwdc-year 2025
node cli.js wwdc-topic "swiftui-ui-frameworks"

Part 2: App Store Connect

Sales report	appstore analytics sales --vendor "VENDOR" --type SALES --subtype SUMMARY --frequency DAILY --date "2024-01-20"
Xcode Cloud	appstore xcode-cloud run --app "APP_ID" --workflow "CI" --branch "main" --wait
Notarize	appstore notarization submit --file ./MyApp.zip --wait
Validate	appstore validate --app "APP_ID" --version-id "VERSION_ID" --strict

Covers: TestFlight, Builds, Signing, Subscriptions, IAP, Analytics, Finance, Xcode Cloud, Notarization, Game Center, Webhooks, App Clips, Screenshots, Workflow automation, Migrate (Fastlane).

Part 3: iOS App Builder

Build complete iOS apps from natural language descriptions.

swiftship              # Interactive mode
swiftship setup        # Install prerequisites (Xcode, XcodeGen, Claude Code)
swiftship fix          # Auto-fix build errors
swiftship run          # Build and launch in simulator
swiftship info         # Show project status
swiftship usage        # Token usage and cost

How it works

describe → analyze → plan → build → fix → run

1. Analyze - Extracts app name, features, core flow from description
2. Plan - Produces file-level build plan: data models, navigation, design
3. Build - Generates Swift source files, project.yml, asset catalog
4. Fix - Compiles and auto-repairs until build succeeds
5. Run - Boots iOS Simulator and launches the app

Interactive commands

Command	Description
/run	Build and launch in simulator
/fix	Auto-fix compilation errors
/open	Open project in Xcode
/model [name]	Switch model (sonnet, opus, haiku)
/info	Show project info
/usage	Token usage and cost
