# Mac App Release

Use for BlackBar, RepoBar, CodexBar, Trimmy, and similar Sparkle-updated macOS apps.

## Rules

- Work from the app repo.
- Read `.mac-release.env`; it is the repo-owned release manifest.
- Use `scripts/mac-release` from this skill for shared release/appcast/verify work.
- Execute `mac-release` directly so its privileged Bash shebang ignores startup hooks; if an explicit interpreter is
  unavoidable, use `/bin/bash -p`, never plain `bash mac-release`.
- Keep app-specific build/package/sign behavior in repo scripts unless it is already manifest-driven.
- Never print private key material.
- Upload app/dSYM assets to a draft before publication. After a failure, preserve the release, tags, appcast commit, and local edits; inspect existing state and resume the failed step instead of deleting or retagging a possibly published release.
