Release

What to check before every release

  • update from previous version (data migration, no unnecessary logouts).
  • demo account (will Apple review be able to access most parts of the app if it requires login?)
  • release notes (every version should have different release notes)
  • visually check screenshots if they are up-to-date

Source control steps to release

  • in GitHub project repo, go to Code -> Releases

  • click Draft a new release button

    Step 1

  • draft a new release from default branch:

    1. create a tag which represents desired version number (don't use any prefix or sufix, keep x.y.z format, CI uses it for versioning)
    2. generate release notes
    3. click Publish release button

    Step 2 Step 3

  • publishing release will automatically run GitHub release action

  • when build is processed to App Store Connect, let the tester go through it and ideally go through it yourself too
  • only when tester approves the build, proceed with sending the update to the review
