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 1. Run `make release-ios` (or `python3 scripts/desktop-release.py --ios-only`) from the repo root. 2. The script handles: preflight checks, version bump, commit, push, and CI monitoring. 3. 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). --- > Converted and distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io/claim/indubitablygregarious) — claim your Tome and manage your conversions.
