Review the source

Skill source recorded

Skill instructions are recorded. This is not a runtime test, safety guarantee or compatibility certification.

Review before install: Avoid automatic install

License: MIT

Dependency or permission surface needs review
Permission surface may require sandboxing
The skill uses `xcrun altool` for iOS upload, which is deprecated by Apple; consider using `notarytool` or Transporter for future-proofing.
The gradle.properties example shows passwords in plain text; this is insecure and should be replaced with environment variables or a secure secrets manager.
Quality score needs review
Permission surface needs review: secrets or environment access, shell or command execution
Stars/forks activity: 214 stars, 31 forks; issue activity unavailable in current metadata
Dependency/runtime risk: command execution surface, credential or environment access
Permission surface: secrets or environment access, shell or command execution

Open full audit

Listed tools are metadata hints, not tested compatibility. Agent prompts are suggested handoffs.
