SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates the complex, error-prone manual work of converting a web app into a compliant, store-ready native iOS app using Capacitor, handling everything from initial wrapping to App Store submission without requiring deep native iOS expertise.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Phased adaptive workflow: Automatically detects your current project stage (initial wrap, adding native features, OTA setup, build testing, submission, or post-launch updates) and loads only the relevant guidance to avoid context overload.
  • Mandatory compliance guardrails: Enforces two non-negotiable gates to prevent App Store rejections: classifies all changes as web-layer (OTA-eligible) or native-shell (requires resubmission) before any work, and requires passing simulator build tests, greenlight compliance scans, and privacy manifest validation before submission.
  • End-to-end tool orchestration: Coordinates 48 specialized Capgo Capacitor skills, XcodeBuildMCP, /ios-ship, and other tools to handle native feature integration (camera, geolocation, push), OTA live updates, build/test loops, and App Store submission.
  • Use Case: For a civic web app like improvebayarea.com, use this skill to wrap it as a native iOS app, add camera and location reporting features, set up Capgo OTA updates for instant web-layer changes, run pre-submission compliance checks, and submit it to the App Store with zero manual guesswork.

Quick Start

Use the capacitor-ios skill to wrap the improvebayarea.com web app as a native iOS app with camera and geolocation features, set up Capgo live updates, run pre-submission compliance checks, and submit it to the App Store.

Frequently Asked Questions about capacitor-ios

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert a web app into a native iOS app for App Store submission?▼

Capacitor wraps your existing web application into a compliant, App Store-ready native iOS app by orchestrating native feature integration, OTA updates, and build testing without requiring manual native iOS development expertise.

Does Capacitor support OTA live updates without requiring App Store resubmission?▼

Yes, Capacitor supports OTA live updates through Capgo. The workflow classifies changes as either web-layer OTA-eligible updates or native-shell changes, automatically avoiding unnecessary App Store resubmissions for web-layer modifications.

What are the App Store compliance requirements when wrapping a web app with Capacitor?▼

App Store compliance requires passing simulator build tests, greenlight compliance scans, and privacy manifest validation before submission. The workflow enforces these mandatory guardrails to prevent rejections during the native iOS app wrapping process.

Can I add native iOS features like camera and geolocation to my web app using Capacitor?▼

Yes, you can add native iOS features like camera, geolocation, and push notifications to your web app. The workflow orchestrates specialized Capacitor tooling to handle native feature integration during the app wrapping process.

What's the best way to automate iOS deployment for a Capacitor web app?▼

The best way to automate iOS deployment is using a phased adaptive workflow that detects your project stage and coordinates specialized tools like XcodeBuildMCP and Capgo to handle build loops, OTA setup, and App Store submission.

Why do I need to classify changes as web-layer or native-shell before deploying Capacitor OTA updates?▼

Classifying changes as web-layer or native-shell is a mandatory compliance gate to prevent App Store rejections. Web-layer changes are OTA-eligible via Capgo, while native-shell modifications require a full App Store resubmission.
