## Overview
Publish mobile applications to official app stores with proper code signing, versioning, testing, and submission procedures.
## When to Use
- Publishing apps to App Store and Google Play
- Managing app versions and releases
- Configuring signing certificates and provisioning profiles
- Automating build and deployment processes
- Managing app updates and rollouts
## Quick Start
Minimal working example:
```bash
# Create development and distribution signing certificates
# Step 1: Generate Certificate Signing Request (CSR) in Keychain Access
# Step 2: Create App ID in Apple Developer Portal
# Step 3: Create provisioning profiles (Development, Distribution)
# Xcode configuration for signing
# Set Team ID, Bundle Identifier, and select provisioning profiles
# Build Settings:
# - Code Sign Identity: "iPhone Distribution"
# - Provisioning Profile: Select appropriate profile
# - Code Sign Style: Automatic (recommended)
# Info.plist settings

## Best Practices
### ✅ DO
- Use signed certificates and provisioning profiles
- Automate builds with CI/CD
- Test on real devices before submission
- Keep version numbers consistent
- Document deployment procedures
- Use environment-specific configurations
- Implement proper error tracking
- Monitor app performance post-launch
- Plan rollout strategy
- Keep backup of signing materials
- Test offline functionality
- Maintain release notes
### ❌ DON'T
- Commit signing materials to git
- Skip device testing
- Release untested code
- Ignore store policies
- Use hardcoded API keys
- Skip security reviews
- Deploy without monitoring
- Ignore crash reports
- Make large version jumps
- Use invalid certificates
- Deploy without backups
- Release during holidaysMore Deployment & CI/CD skills
azure-enterprise-infra-planner
microsoft/azure-skills
Architect and provision enterprise Azure infrastructure from workload descriptions. For cloud architects and platform engineers planning networking, identity, security, compliance, and multi-resource topologies with WAF alignment. Generates Bicep or Terraform directly (no azd). WHEN: 'plan Azure infrastructure', 'architect Azure landing zone', 'design hub-spoke network', 'plan multi-region DR topology', 'set up VNets firewalls and private endpoints', 'subscription-scope Bicep deployment', 'Azure Backup for VM workloads'. PREFER azure-prepare FOR app-centric workflows.
azure-kubernetes-app-deploy
microsoft/azure-skills
Use when deploying an existing web application or API to an already-running Azure Kubernetes Service cluster. Detects the framework, generates a Dockerfile and Kubernetes manifests, validates against AKS Deployment Safeguards, and deploys with verification. WHEN: deploy app to AKS, deploy to existing AKS cluster, containerize app for Kubernetes, generate K8s manifests for Azure, set up CI/CD for AKS, my AKS deployment is failing safeguard checks, I have a Django/Express/Spring Boot app to run on AKS. DO NOT USE FOR: creating or provisioning an AKS cluster (use azure-kubernetes), assessing migration to AKS Automatic (use azure-kubernetes-automatic-readiness), or deploying to non-AKS targets like Web Apps, Container Apps, or Functions.
finetuning
microsoft/azure-skills
Fine-tune models on Microsoft Foundry using SFT (supervised), DPO (preference), or RFT (reinforcement with graders). Covers dataset preparation, training job submission, deployment, and evaluation. USE FOR: fine-tune, SFT, DPO, RFT, training data, grader, distillation, fine-tuned model, training job, large file upload, calibrate grader, deploy fine-tuned model, evaluate fine-tuned model. DO NOT USE FOR: general model deployment without fine-tuning (use deploy-model), agent creation (use agents), prompt optimization without training (use prompt-optimizer).
