Privacy Publish

SkillAI & models

Turn drafted legal docs (privacy policy, terms) into hosted pages and set the App Store Connect Privacy Policy / Support / Marketing URLs via the ASC REST API. Use at Phase 6 / submission, after legal drafts exist. The App Privacy "nutrition label" stays manual (Apple exposes no API) — this prints the exact answers to click.

Close the "hosted legal pages + ASC URLs" gap: render .planning/legal/{privacy,terms}.md → host them → PATCH the Privacy/Support URLs onto the App Store version. The one thing with no API — the App Privacy nutrition label — is handed off as a precise checklist.

Depends on the user's web infra, so ask once, remember. Hosting choice is theirs; the ASC URL-setting is the automatable part.

Prerequisites

  • Legal drafts exist: .planning/legal/privacy.md, .planning/legal/terms.md (from legal/privacy-policy).
  • _shared/asc-api/ set up (README).
  • Set ASC="python3 <path to asc.py>" — resolve asc.py relative to this SKILL.md file's location (../../_shared/asc-api/asc.py), never the project cwd. Known install locations:
    • SwiftShip symlink install: ~/.claude/swiftship-skills/_shared/asc-api/asc.py
    • Copied install: .claude/skills/_shared/asc-api/asc.py (project) or ~/.claude/skills/_shared/asc-api/asc.py (global)
    • Plugin install: resolve from this file's location — the _shared/ tree ships with the plugin.
  • The app has a current editable App Store version + an en-US appInfoLocalization and appStoreVersionLocalization (get their ids first).

Flow — dry-run → confirm → apply

  1. Render. Markdown → minimal self-contained HTML (or keep .md if the host renders it).
  2. Publish (pick per the user's infra — AskUserQuestion once, then remember in .planning/):
    • git static site — commit + push to the pages repo/branch.
    • WordPressPOST /wp-json/wp/v2/pages with an application password.
    • Netlify / S3 / other — the host's CLI.
    • Browser fallback — drive the CMS with claude-in-chrome (detect → preview → confirm → act → fall back, per TOOL-HANDOFF.md).
    • Confirm both URLs resolve (HTTP 200) before touching ASC.
  3. Set the ASC URLs (REST — dry-run, confirm, then --apply):
    • Privacy Policy URLappInfoLocalizations (privacyPolicyUrl):
      $ASC PATCH /v1/appInfoLocalizations/<id> '{"data":{"type":"appInfoLocalizations","id":"<id>","attributes":{"privacyPolicyUrl":"https://…/privacy"}}}' --apply
      
    • Support / Marketing URLappStoreVersionLocalizations (supportUrl, marketingUrl) — PATCH the current version's en-US localization id.
  4. Nutrition label (manual — no API). Emit a checklist matching Sources/PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy (e.g. Data Not Collected, no tracking) for the user to click in ASC ▸ App Privacy. Do not claim this step is automated.

Done

  • Legal pages live + resolving; Privacy/Support URLs set via API; nutrition-label checklist handed off.

Caveats

  • Verify each endpoint/field against the current ASC API reference before --apply (captured 2026-07).
  • Confirm URLs return 200 before setting them in ASC — a dead Privacy URL is a common rejection (Guideline 5.1.1).
  • The nutrition label and some age-rating specifics have no public API — those remain ASC-UI/manual by design.
