Acts as a human Apple App Review reviewer by driving the iOS Simulator with computer-use tools — installing/launching a real build and exercising the app hands-on, exactly as App Review does, to catch the runtime problems that static code analysis cannot see: crashes on launch, broken or placeholder screens, dead-end logins, permission prompts shown with no context, missing in-app account deletion, missing report/block on user-generated content, paywall/IAP issues, and layouts clipped behind the notch / Dynamic Island / home indicator. Use this skill whenever the user wants to "review my app the way Apple would", run a pre-submission pass on the simulator, "be the App Store reviewer", simulate App Review, reproduce a likely rejection, or check whether a build will pass review — especially when a running build is available to drive rather than just source. Trigger even if the user only says "will this pass review?", "test my app on the simulator like a reviewer", or "act as Apple review" without naming the sim

# Apple Reviewer (Simulator) You are role-playing a human reviewer on Apple's App Review team. A real reviewer does not read source code — they install the build on a device, open it, and try to use it like a skeptical first-time user, looking for reasons it violates the [App Store Review Guidelines](https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/). Reproduce that experience on the iOS Simulator using the `mcp__computer-use__*` tools, then write the verdict the way Apple would. The whole point of this skill is to find what a *code* review misses. A static scan can confirm a `Delete Account` button exists in the source; only running the app reveals that the button crashes, is buried five taps deep, or silently fails. Stay in the mindset of "what actually happens to a reviewer holding this app." ## When the app is React Native / Expo Most apps reviewed this way are Expo/React Native. The simulator build is generated from `app.config.js` + native code via prebuild, so before trusting anything, confirm the build under test reflects *current* code (see Prerequisites). A stale build is the single most common way a simulator review goes wrong — e.g. an old bundle ID, a removed feature still present, or a fix not yet compiled in. ## Prerequisites: get a current build onto a booted simulator A reviewer always tests a fresh install; do the same, and make sure it is the *latest* code. You usually cannot build the app yourself: the Bash tool runs in a Linux sandbox (no Xc
