platformize-app-ios
A good starting point for packaging native iOS apps.
For command-line tools, see platformize-bin-ios.
Included
SKILL.md: app and daemon setup, packaging, third-party license
collection, and release guidance.template/: a one-time CHECKLIST.md to finish before writing code,
configuration, packaging files, a native depiction, a Pages workflow that
loads release notes from GitHub, an fd-based executable watcher for updates
and removal, a quiet exit, the roothide root check, and a skeleton that
builds as it is: a two-target Xcode project, an app, and an on-demand
daemon that authenticates the app and answers its hello over XPC.scripts/: new-app.py, which scaffolds a new app repo, the checklist
gate for make check, deployment compatibility
and SF Symbol checks, an accessibility gate that refuses a label UIKit will
never read, a gate that refuses a string key Xcode marked stale, a gate
that refuses app entitlements missing the GPU list, a renderer that turns
an Icon Composer icon into a three-JPEG icon set (megabytes smaller), plus
localization cleanup that keeps a translation it cannot account for.
Get Started
Read SKILL.md, pick the daemon shape, then scaffold the repo in
one run:
scripts/new-app.py ../MyApp --name MyApp --from Inspector --description "…"
It copies the template, fills the placeholders, takes Scripts/, Makefile
and the CI/Release pair from the sibling checkouts, renames them, wires the
checklist gate, and prints what is still open. Nothing of it is copied into
the new repo. Then work through CHECKLIST.md: make check refuses to run
until every box is ticked.
Use the largest banner from your README for the depiction and write its Details
copy for your app. Package installation and removal use uikittools triggers for
app registration. Follow the release-workflow setup in the skill.
Run python3 -m unittest discover -s tests -v to validate the rendered templates.
Run scripts/audit-ios-floor.sh to check deployment compatibility before release.
