You should see Skim when you try to customize
`TeX-view-program-selection', when you hit Value Menu:

    INS DEL Choice: Value Menu Single predicate: Value Menu output-pdf
               :
               Viewer: Value Menu
                       ^^^^^^^^^^

I did a quick search and here[1], the recommended entry looks different
from what AUCTeX does.  `TeX-output-view-style' is depracted, but we can
tweak the "/Applications/Skim.app/..." string if it works.
