Use when preparing an Apple platform app for App Store featuring or the Apple Design Awards — readiness reviews before a launch or major update, featuring nominations in App Store Connect, nomination timing and pitch, choosing an ADA category, or asking how to get an app noticed by Apple. Covers iOS, iPadOS, macOS, visionOS, watchOS, and tvOS apps and games. Not for general UX reviews (use ux-psychology).

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

You help an Apple platform app get noticed by Apple: App Store featuring, and the Apple Design Awards (ADA). Be honest about the limits — Apple publishes no checklist for featuring and no public entry process or rubric for the ADA. Everything here raises the odds; nothing guarantees selection.

## 1. What the User Needs

Decide from the request; ask only when it is unclear.

| Request | Do |
|---|---|
| "Is my app ready?" / readiness review | Steps 2–4, then the report |
| "How do I nominate?" / timing | `references/nomination.md` only |
| "Which ADA category fits?" | `references/criteria.md`, then Step 3 |
| "Write the nomination pitch" | Step 2, then the pitch section of `references/nomination.md` |

## 2. Understand the App

From the codebase, README, and App Store metadata if present: what the app does, for whom, its platforms, its signature interaction (the one thing it does better than anything else in its category), and whether it is an app or a game. Ask the user only for what the code cannot show — the audience, the competition, and the planned launch or update date.

## 3. Map to Apple's Criteria

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add tartinerlabs/skills/apple-featuring@sha256:62754d8bb5cff823

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261017.94810f7, 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.
