App Store Connect Submission Checklist (Ida)

Last updated: February 15, 2026

Use this as a release blocker checklist for required fields and legal/compliance declarations.

1) Required App Store Connect Fields

  • App name, subtitle, primary category, and content rights are complete and final.
  • Support URL is live and reachable.
  • Privacy Policy URL is live and reachable.
  • Screenshots are current and represent actual app behavior.
  • "What’s New" text matches shipped changes.
  • Build selected for the version is the intended release build.

2) App Privacy + Data Disclosure

  • App Privacy questionnaire is completed using /Users/maximilianheld/Developer/Ida/Data-Inventory-and-App-Privacy-Mapping.md.
  • Tracking is set correctly (current app manifest shows NSPrivacyTracking = false in /Users/maximilianheld/Developer/Ida/Ida/PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy).
  • Required Reason APIs remain accurate:
    • NSPrivacyAccessedAPICategoryFileTimestamp -> C617.1
    • NSPrivacyAccessedAPICategoryUserDefaults -> C56D.1
  • If data behavior changed since last release, privacy answers were re-reviewed.

3) Legal + Regulatory Declarations

  • Export compliance answer is correct (current app sets ITSAppUsesNonExemptEncryption = false in /Users/maximilianheld/Developer/Ida/Ida/Info.plist).
  • EU DSA trader status is completed and current.
  • Age rating questionnaire is complete and accurate.
  • Any territory-specific legal text (if used) is final and reviewed.

4) Capability-Linked Compliance Checks

  • iCloud/CloudKit capability declarations are consistent with app behavior (/Users/maximilianheld/Developer/Ida/Ida/Ida.entitlements).
  • Push notification behavior is represented accurately in metadata (aps-environment, remote-notification).
  • If account creation is introduced later, include in-app account deletion.
  • If digital purchases are introduced later, include restore purchases flow.
  • If ads/tracking SDKs are introduced later, add ATT flow and update privacy answers.

5) Final Submission Gate

  • Run /Users/maximilianheld/Developer/Ida/ci_scripts/pre_submit_gate.sh and resolve any CRITICAL findings.
  • Run a clean release build before upload:
    • xcodebuild -scheme "Ida - Release" -configuration Release build
