General

What this skill does

# iOS Deployment

## **Priority: P1**

## Implementation Workflow

1. **Set up Match** — Use `fastlane match` for centralized certificate and profile management. Avoid manual signing.
2. **Configure build settings** — Set `PROVISIONING_PROFILE_SPECIFIER` explicitly if using manual/CI signing.
3. **Script Fastlane lanes** — Create `beta` (TestFlight) and `release` (App Store) lanes in your Fastfile.
4. **Automate versioning** — Use `increment_build_number` to auto-bump build numbers.
5. **Automate TestFlight uploads** — Trigger on every successful merge to staging.
6. **Set export compliance** — Automate in `Info.plist` or Fastlane to avoid metadata pauses.

See [Fastlane and Match setup examples](references/implementation.md)

## Anti-Patterns

- **No Manual CI Signing**: Use Match for automated certificate management
- **No Certificates in Repo**: Use private git repo for Match certificates
- **No Manual Versioning**: Use Fastlane `increment_build_number` for build numbers
