Release checklist

IPA and XCArchive Release Checklist

StoreShield gives iOS developers a local checklist that starts with the archive, adds review gates, and ends with a Submission Pack for the release handoff.

Mac App Store Direct download

7-day trial applies to the Direct DMG only. Mac App Store subscriptions are managed by Apple.

Archive checks

Start with the compiled artifact you actually plan to submit.

✓ .ipa, .xcarchive, and compatible zip archive input.
✓ Binary upload and hardening risk signals.
✓ Entitlements, privacy, SDK, and metadata readiness gates.

Review Room workflow

StoreShield presents the result like a local App Review simulation, not a raw scanner dump.

✓ READY, RISK, or BLOCKED verdict.
✓ PASS, RISK, BLOCK, and MANUAL gates.
✓ Next best action always visible.

Submission Pack output

Use the export as a handoff to yourself, your team, or a client.

✓ Reviewer notes draft and fix plan.
✓ Metadata checklist and ITMS mapped diagnostics.
✓ SARIF, PDF report, and machine-readable JSON summary.

FAQ

Can I scan macOS apps?

StoreShield focuses on iOS release archives. macOS app scanning is not the current core workflow.

FAQ

Should I use the Mac App Store or Direct edition?

Use the Mac App Store for Apple-managed subscriptions. Use Direct if you want the signed DMG and 7-day Direct trial.
