App Store

What This Skill Does

The App Store skill empowers OpenClaw to act as a release manager for your iOS and Android applications. It streamlines the complex, multi-step process of publishing apps to Apple's App Store Connect and the Google Play Console. The skill provides guided support for account setup, signing configurations, and submission workflows. It specifically helps developers navigate the "gotchas" of both platforms, such as managing D-U-N-S numbers for Apple or navigating the mandatory closed-testing requirements for new Google Play apps.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your environment, run the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/ivangdavila/app-store

Use Cases

• Automated Submission Prep: Generate checklists for your app to ensure it meets platform-specific guidelines like Privacy Manifests or Target SDK requirements.
• Troubleshooting Signing Errors: Diagnose and resolve Xcode signing identity issues by verifying certificates and provisioning profiles.
• Release Management: Orchestrate the submission workflow from initial metadata entry to compliance verification, reducing the likelihood of rejections.
• Platform Compliance: Ensure all metadata, from support emails to privacy policy URLs, is properly configured before pressing submit.

Example Prompts

1. "Check my app's readiness for the Apple App Store based on the current submission checklist."
2. "I am getting a 'No signing identity' error in Xcode. Walk me through the steps to fix this."
3. "What are the current requirements for testing a new Android app on the Google Play Console?"

Tips & Limitations

• Consistency is Key: When handling iOS signing, do not mix automatic and manual signing approaches within a single project as it creates configuration drift.
• Lead Times: Always account for the Apple D-U-N-S number generation (1-2 weeks) and Google's identity verification (48+ hours) during project planning.
• Testing: For new Android apps, ensure the 14-day/20-tester requirement is met early to avoid last-minute delays in your production release schedule.
• Accuracy: While this skill provides expert guidance, ensure your legal entity name in the D-U-N-S database perfectly matches your developer account to avoid automatic application denials.
