File contents

iOS Release - Cut a TestFlight Build

Delegate to the unified release script with --ios-only. This bumps the version in tauri.conf.json, commits, pushes to main without creating a tag (so only ios-build.yml triggers, not desktop-build.yml), and monitors the CI build.

Process

Run make release-ios (or python3 scripts/desktop-release.py --ios-only) from the repo root.
The script handles: preflight checks, version bump, commit, push, and CI monitoring.
Report the build status to the user when it completes.

Options

Dry run: make release-ios-dry-run to preview without changes.
Version bump: Pass via RELEASE_ARGS, e.g., make release-ios RELEASE_ARGS="--minor".
Skip monitoring: make release-ios RELEASE_ARGS="--no-monitor".

When to Use

Use make release-ios for iOS-only TestFlight iterations. Use make release when you want both desktop and iOS builds (the tag triggers desktop, the push triggers iOS).
