   • This will create an IPA file for distribution

2. Generate App Integrity Snapshot:

   • Navigate to your project directory in Terminal
   • Run the generate_hash script:

   $ chmod +x AppSealingSDK/Tools/*
   $ AppSealingSDK/Tools/generate_hash path/to/your/app.ipa

3. Upload to App Store:

   • Use Application Loader or Transporter to upload the processed IPA
   • Submit for review through App Store Connect

Important Notes

• Debug vs Release: AppSealing security features are disabled in Debug mode for development convenience
• App Store Requirement: The generate_hash step is mandatory for App Store and TestFlight distribution
• Bundle ID Verification: Ensure your bundle ID matches the one registered with AppSealing SDK
