fusengine Build & Distribution
App build, signing, and distribution for all Apple platforms.
Agent Workflow (MANDATORY)
Before ANY distribution, use TeamCreate to spawn 3 agents:
- fuse-ai-pilot:explore-codebase - Check existing build configuration
- fuse-ai-pilot:research-expert - Verify latest App Store requirements
- mcp__XcodeBuildMCP__show_build_settings - Review build settings
After implementation, run fuse-ai-pilot:sniper for validation.
Overview
When to Use
- Preparing app for release
- Configuring code signing
- Uploading to TestFlight
- Submitting to App Store
