MiaoYan App Store Workflow
Use this skill only when the maintainer explicitly asks for App Store build or submission work.
App Store vs GitHub Release
| Area | App Store | GitHub Release |
|---|---|---|
| Build intent | App Store distribution | Direct download and update feed |
| Entitlements | App Store entitlements | Developer ID entitlements |
| Sparkle | Not included | Included |
| Credentials | App Store Connect credentials | Developer ID and notarization credentials |
Build And Validate
bash scripts/build-appstore.sh
xcrun altool --validate-app -f build/AppStore/Export/MiaoYan.app -t macos --apiKey <KEY_ID> --apiIssuer <ISSUER_ID>
Use Xcode Organizer for upload when that is safer than CLI upload.
Pre-Submission Checklist

Safety Rules
