Build and upload the App Store release-candidate build — confirms the release checklist has been worked through, prompts for the new App Store version number, bumps MARKETING_VERSION on a release branch, then runs `fastlane ios beta` so the candidate lands in TestFlight (auto-bumps build number from ASC, archives, uploads, auto-commits the pbxproj bump), then pushes, opens a chore PR, waits for CI, and squash-merges. The same binary is then manually tested via TestFlight and attached to the App Store version in ASC — one build serves both. Does NOT submit for review — that stays a manual App Store Connect step. Use when the release checklist reaches the release-candidate build step, or when asked to push a release build. Invoked via /appstore:push-release-build.

From the source SKILL.md

Produces the one binary that serves both the final TestFlight test and the App Store submission: version bump → branch → build → upload to TestFlight → commit → PR → CI → merge. TestFlight builds and App Store submissions draw from the same build pool in ASC, so the exact build the user tests is what gets attached to the version and submitted — no separate App Store archive. Submitting for review remains a manual ASC click.
