## Summary
- replace the unsupported top-level App Store version collection with
Apple's app-scoped version endpoint
- add tested release-policy and availability readback for exact
version/build, `AFTER_APPROVAL`, Denmark only, no preorder, and no
automatic future territories
- strengthen the stable `App Store Readiness` check and align
Fastlane/candidate handoff with the approved 1.0.0 release policy
## Task contract
`truckwash-ios-release-20260723` — R4 (`ci-policy`, `release-policy`,
`credential-handling`, `branch-protection-or-rules`,
`mobile-store-submission`). The user explicitly approved implementation,
protected-master delivery, and the App Store release path.
## Changed files
- App Store Connect client and dependency-free Node tests
- App Store readiness and candidate workflows
- Fastlane candidate release configuration
- Apple App Store release runbook
## Verification
- `node --test tests/node/app-store-connect.test.mjs` — 10 passed
- `node scripts/mobile/validate-app-store.mjs --strict` — passed
- `node scripts/mobile/check-permissions.mjs` — passed
- App Store product-readiness Vitest — 5 passed
- ESLint on changed Node files — passed
- workflow YAML parsing — passed
- `git diff --check` — passed
- local Fastlane validation unavailable because Ruby/Bundler is not
installed on this host; `App Store Readiness` runs it on GitHub
## Release target
- iOS App Store
- bundle `io.truckwash.app`
- version `1.0.0`
- App Store Connect app `6792777794`
- Denmark only
- automatic release after approval
- no preorder or phased release for 1.0.0
The repository App Store automation switch remains disabled until this
change is merged and credential health is reverified.
Align generated artwork with the published Truck Wash storefront, add strict iPhone and iPad App Store screenshots, and complete signed iOS release automation.
## What changed
- adds production iOS identity, localized storefront metadata, native
privacy declarations, App Store-safe artwork, and account-deletion UX
- mirrors the live Danish Google Play title, short description, and long
description in the App Store metadata source
- generates Android launcher/store icons from the opaque iOS marketing
master so both platforms use the same white background
- adds guarded GitHub Actions workflows for storefront readiness,
credential health, signed TestFlight uploads, and App Store candidate
preparation
- adds pinned Fastlane configuration with a committed dependency lock,
release manifest tooling, and an operational App Store runbook
- preserves the upstream iOS safe-area implementation while retaining
opaque App Store icon assets
## Why
The repository previously supported development-signed device bundles
but had no production App Store identity, reproducible storefront source
of truth, or protected signed-release pipeline. Apple also requires
in-app account deletion for apps that support account creation. The
Android icon master was transparent, which rendered as black on dark
store/device surfaces.
## Impact
Automation remains fail-closed behind
`APP_STORE_AUTOMATION_ENABLED=false`. No build can upload to TestFlight
or change App Store metadata until the switch is deliberately enabled
after merge and the remaining release gates are satisfied.
## Validation
- focused App Store, iOS icon, and cross-platform icon-background tests
pass
- every generated Android store/launcher icon is opaque with pure-white
corners; iOS marketing artwork is checked the same way
- Android icon drift check passes for all 19 generated files
- production Vite build and the broader focused release checks completed
successfully
- storefront metadata is valid; only the two expected screenshot-set
warnings remain
- App Store Readiness is green at head `4445fecc`
- Apple Distribution certificate and App Store profile were
independently verified for `HP3FJ4GVL7.io.truckwash.app`
- live App Store Connect API authentication succeeded for app
`6792777794`
- App Store record, free Denmark-only availability, and automatic
`Internal QA` TestFlight group are configured
- EU trader status, Content Rights, 4+ age rating, and the published App
Privacy label are completed in App Store Connect
- iPhone and iPad accessibility declarations are configured honestly as
pre-release drafts
## Remaining external gates
- reviewed iPhone and iPad screenshot sets are still required
- an App Review login must be supplied without creating or exposing
customer credentials
- the first signed TestFlight candidate must run after merge and
deliberate automation enablement
