# iOS Release Guide

## Project conventions

Read [references/project-rules.md](references/project-rules.md) for the relevant
section when handling this task. Read only what applies; examples do not
authorize releases, deployments or changes outside the user's scope.
Always-loaded safety rules still apply.

- App Store Requirements
- Release archives go to the archive volume, not the repository
- App Store Connect accepts a binary before it lists it
