Expert Review Checklist

A 9-section verification checklist for App Store submissions. Where App Store Submission is the discipline-focused pre-flight workflow with anti-patterns and pressure scenarios, this skill is the flat checklist — every box that must be ticked before you tap Submit for Review.

When to Use

Use this skill when:

• You want a single flat list to walk through before submission, not a workflow
• You're doing a final pass after App Store Submission and want to verify nothing was missed
• You're submitting to EU markets and need DSA trader status verification steps
• You're shipping IAP and want monetization-specific verification (status, screenshots, restore, grace period)
• You're a team lead reviewing a submission someone else prepared
• You need a printable / exportable verification list to share with a non-engineer (product, legal, design)

Example Prompts

Questions you can ask Claude that will draw from this skill:

• "Run me through the full pre-submission checklist."
• "What goes in the EU compliance section before I submit?"
• "What does the build section of pre-submission verification cover?"
• "Walk me through the privacy checklist line by line."
• "What demo credentials does App Review need from us?"
• "Have we covered everything for monetization before submitting?"

What This Skill Provides

• Build verification — SDK version, export compliance flag, encryption documentation, IPv6 compatibility, signing, bundle ID, build string uniqueness, OTA size, architectures, no private APIs
• Privacy verification — PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy, policy URL in App Store Connect, in-app privacy access, purpose strings, ATT, Required Reason APIs, nutrition labels, third-party SDK manifests, generated privacy report

• Account verification — Account deletion, SIWA token revocation, equal SIWA prominence, demo credentials that won't expire mid-review
• Content verification — No placeholders, no broken links, no staging URLs, no test data in screenshots, no references to other platforms
• Age rating verification — Questionnaire completion, new capability declarations, UGC moderation, content filtering, loot box odds disclosure
• Monetization verification — IAP status, IAP screenshots, subscription terms transparency, loot box disclosure, restore purchases, grace period, offer codes
