Build & Distribution

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

Agent Workflow (MANDATORY)

Before ANY distribution, use TeamCreate to spawn 3 agents:

1. fuse-ai-pilot:explore-codebase - Check existing build configuration
2. fuse-ai-pilot:research-expert - Verify latest App Store requirements
3. mcp__XcodeBuildMCP__show_build_settings - Review build settings

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

Best Practices

1. Automatic signing - Let Xcode manage
2. TestFlight first - Always beta test
3. Increment build - Every upload needs new build number
4. Privacy manifest - Required for App Store
5. fastlane - Automate repetitive tasks
6. CI/CD - GitHub Actions for automation
