Build archive

xcodebuild -workspace App.xcworkspace
-scheme App
-sdk iphoneos
-configuration Release
-archivePath build/App.xcarchive
archive

xcodebuild -exportArchive
-archivePath build/App.xcarchive
-exportOptionsPlist ExportOptions.plist
-exportPath build/

Upload to App Store Connect

xcrun altool --upload-app
--type ios
--file build/App.ipa
--username "$APPLE_ID"
--password "$APP_SPECIFIC_PASSWORD"

Android Deployment

Build Release APK/Bundle

Generate keystore (once)

keytool -genkey -v -keystore release.keystore
-alias app -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000

Build release bundle

./gradlew bundleRelease

gradle.properties

RELEASE_STORE_FILE=release.keystore RELEASE_KEY_ALIAS=app RELEASE_STORE_PASSWORD=**** RELEASE_KEY_PASSWORD=****

Version Management

{ "version": "1.2.3", "ios": { "buildNumber": "45" }, "android": { "versionCode": 45 } }

Pre-Deployment Checklist

• All tests passing (>80% coverage)

• App icons for all sizes

• Screenshots for store listing

• Privacy policy URL configured

• Permissions justified

• Tested on minimum supported OS

• Release notes prepared

Best Practices

• Automate deployment with CI/CD

• Test on physical devices

• Secure signing materials separately

• Monitor crash reports post-launch
