Couple of questions that I'm hoping someone has an answer for. I've looked through everything in the CRB but I can't find anything specific saying that Touch spells allow an attack roll, in the same turn as they are cast, to deliver the spell to an enemy. The closest I've found is the section on them where it says;
Some effects, most notably spells, have a range of touch (see
Range below) and require an action to activate. In most cases,
if you don’t discharge a touch effect on the round you create
it, you can postpone the discharge of the effect (also known as
holding the charge) indefinitely.
The implication being that you can discharge it the round you create it, and thus make an attack roll with it, presumably.
On a similar note, there also appears no text replicating the Pathfinder notes about touch spells which specified you could cast a touch spell, use your move action and then deliver the spell afterwards, is this no longer possible in Starfinder or am I overlooking something?

Touch spells don't provoke in Starfinder, so this order of operations doesn't matter anymore.

Not entirely true, whilst they don't provoke there is still plenty of reason to want to cast a spell out of sight of the enemy, preventing them from identifying it for example, or from taking readied actions to shoot you after you cast it, so the question still remains.
