Description

TestFlight upload catches a class of distribution-only validation issues — MinimumOSVersion matches across all embedded frameworks, Info.plist schema, signing chain — that local builds and codesign-only CI never surface.

Goal: document a pre-release ritual that uploads the example app to TestFlight (or asserts a successful upload in CI on a release tag) before any version cut. No code change required initially; just a documented checklist + (optionally) an EAS workflow.

Adjacent to #20 (real-device runtime test) but separable — they catch different failure shapes.

Research direction

Start by locating the example app's release documentation and any existing EAS or CI configuration. Document a pre-release checklist covering a TestFlight upload and the stated validation checks; consider the optional EAS workflow separately. Done means the ritual is clear enough to run before a version cut.
