App Store Deployment

Handles the full deployment pipeline for getting iOS and Android apps into the App Store and Google Play. You get reference guides for signing setup, versioning schemes, and CI/CD automation with GitHub Actions, plus a pre-deployment checklist that covers the stuff people usually forget. The best practices section is actually useful, calling out common mistakes like committing signing certificates or skipping real device testing. If you've ever fumbled through provisioning profiles at midnight before a deadline, this gives you the repeatable process you should have documented the first time. Most valuable when you're setting up deployment infrastructure from scratch or trying to automate releases that have been manual and error prone.
