Details

What it does

1. Configures App Store Connect API key
2. Installs dependencies (Xcode version, CocoaPods if needed)
3. Generates GraphQL operations if configured
4. Increments build number based on latest TestFlight build (or uses custom build_number)
5. Sets version from VERSION_NUMBER env var (default 1.0.0), or uses custom version_number
6. Creates a temporary CI keychain
7. Syncs appstore provisioning profiles for the beta bundle identifier (.beta suffix)
8. Builds the app using the Beta configuration
9. Uploads the .ipa to TestFlight with CHANGELOG as the changelog

Notes

• Beta builds always use Futured's own App Store Connect account (configured via TEAM_ID and ASC_TEAM_ID)
• The build number auto-increment fetches the latest build from TestFlight and adds 1
• If a custom build_number is lower than the latest TestFlight build, a warning is shown but the build proceeds
• Version number suffixes (e.g., 1.0.0-beta) are stripped to the base version
