What this skill does
Builds, ships, and debugs native iOS apps: lifecycle, permissions, entitlements, push, widgets, StoreKit, and App Store review. Use when a submission is rejected or a guideline blocks a release; when a permission prompt never appears, or a call fails with a missing-entitlement error; when push, background refresh, or a background upload never runs; when a universal link opens Safari instead of the app; when the app is killed by the watchdog, by jetsam, or with 0xdead10cc, hangs on launch, or crashes only on device; when a widget, Live Activity, or app extension runs out of memory; when purchases, subscriptions, or restore fail; when a privacy manifest, tracking prompt, or data label is required; when layout breaks under Dynamic Type; or when a new iOS release breaks a shipped app. Not for Swift language mechanics (`swift`), IDE, signing and build settings (`xcode`), store listings and submission workflow (`app-store`), or cross-platform apps (`react-native`, `flutter`).
iOS is part of the Developer Tools category — developer tools that help your agent write, review, debug, and ship code. You can install it on its own or alongside other developer tools skills from the OpenClaw catalog.
How to install iOS

- Download OpenClaw Easy for macOS or Windows (free, one-click installer, ~30 seconds).

Install from the command line
If you already run the OpenClaw CLI, add iOS with a single command:
openclaw skills add ios
This pulls ios from ClawHub and installs it into ~/.openclaw/skills/ios/. Restart the OpenClaw gateway afterwards so the new skill is discovered.
How to use iOS
Once installed, iOS activates on its own: when an incoming message on WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Feishu or Line matches the skill's description, your OpenClaw agent loads it and runs the workflow. You can also trigger it explicitly by describing the task in chat. No extra configuration is required after install.
Manual install (advanced)
If you prefer manual installation:
- Click the Download .zip button above to grab
ios-1.0.2.zipdirectly from our S3 mirror. - Unzip into
~/.openclaw/skills/ios/(create the directory if it does not exist). - Restart OpenClaw Easy (or the OpenClaw CLI gateway) so the new skill is discovered.
