Build & Distribution

App build, signing, and distribution for all Apple platforms.

Agent Workflow (MANDATORY)

Before ANY distribution, use TeamCreate to spawn 3 agents:

• fuse-ai-pilot:explore-codebase - Check existing build configuration

• fuse-ai-pilot:research-expert - Verify latest App Store requirements

• mcp__XcodeBuildMCP__show_build_settings - Review build settings

After implementation, run fuse-ai-pilot:sniper for validation.

Overview

When to Use

• Preparing app for release

• Configuring code signing

• Uploading to TestFlight

• Submitting to App Store

• Creating app icons

• CI/CD pipeline setup

Release Checklist

• Version and build number updated

• App icons complete (light/dark/tinted)

• Privacy manifest (PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy)

• Release configuration

• Archive validates

• TestFlight tested

• Screenshots updated

• App Store metadata complete

Best Practices

• Automatic signing - Let Xcode manage

• TestFlight first - Always beta test

• Increment build - Every upload needs new build number

• Privacy manifest - Required for App Store

• fastlane - Automate repetitive tasks

• CI/CD - GitHub Actions for automation
