Orchestrates an end-to-end TestFlight release: pre-flight checks, archive, upload to App Store Connect, waiting for build processing, distributing to beta groups, setting What to Test notes, and verifying the build landed. Use when the user says "publish to TestFlight", "upload build", "ship it to testers", "push to TestFlight", "distribute build", or "check if the build landed". Requires the user's own App Store Connect API credentials (via environment variables) and build script or…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# TestFlight Publish

Chains the TestFlight pipeline into one flow: verify app state, prepare What to Test notes, build and upload, wait for processing, distribute to beta groups, then verify the result.

This skill contains no credentials or app identifiers. Everything app-specific comes from your environment or project config.

## Progress checklist

- [ ] Configuration present (`ASC_*`, `BUNDLE_ID`); nothing guessed or searched for on disk
- [ ] Phase 1: app resolved, beta groups listed, build number above the last upload, pre-flight checks pass
- [ ] Phase 2: What to Test notes approved by the user
- [ ] Phase 3: archive and upload succeeded; build number bumped and committed only after success
- [ ] Phase 4: build VALID, notes set, groups assigned, result verified
- [ ] Phase 5: summary reported

## Configuration (do this once)

Set these as environment variables (shell profile, CI secret store, or a git-ignored `.env`). Never commit them and never paste them into chat or notes.

| Variable | Meaning |
|----------|---------|
| `ASC_KEY_ID` | App Store Connect API key ID |
| `ASC_ISSUER_ID` | App Store Connect API issuer ID |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add the-artificer-of-ciphers-llc/skills-from-the-artificer/testflight-publish@sha256:2f98f114b8d5102d

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261108.5e6d7c1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
