# App Store Preflight Skill

Run pre-submission checks on your iOS/macOS project to catch common App Store rejection patterns.

## Prerequisites

- **asc CLI** — Install via Homebrew: `brew install asc` ([App-Store-Connect-CLI](https://github.com/rudrankriyam/App-Store-Connect-CLI))
- **ASC CLI Skills** — [app-store-connect-cli-skills](https://github.com/rudrankriyam/app-store-connect-cli-skills) for `asc` usage patterns
- **jq** — Optional, but used by some JSON-inspection examples in the rule docs

## Step 1: Identify App Type → Load Checklist

Determine which guidelines apply by loading the relevant checklist from `references/guidelines/by-app-type/`. Always start with `all_apps.md`, then add the app-type-specific one:
