# Release Workflow
Use this checklist when preparing a new public version.
## Version Source
The release version lives in one place:
```sh
scripts/release-version.sh
```
For a new app version, update `APP_VERSION` and reset or increment `BUILD_NUMBER`.
For another upload of the same app version, leave `APP_VERSION` alone and increment
`BUILD_NUMBER`.
`RELEASE_VERSION` defaults to the app version without a trailing `.0`, so `0.4.0`
produces release artifacts named with `v0.4`.
## Required Checks
Run these before tagging or uploading:
```sh
swift test
swift scripts/verify-sample-pdf.swift
swift scripts/verify-pdf-annotations.swift
scripts/build-app.sh
BUILD_APP=0 scripts/make-dmg.sh
scripts/make-tiny-archives.sh
scripts/verify-release-artifacts.sh
```
`scripts/make-tiny-archives.sh` builds per-architecture direct-download archives and
fails if either archive is `>= 400,000` bytes.
For signature changes, also run:
```sh
USE_TEMP_SIGNING_KEYCHAIN=1 scripts/verify-pdf-signatures.sh
scripts/prepare-acrobat-qa.sh
```
Finish the manual reader checks in `docs/QA.md` before public distribution.
## Direct Download
The direct-download release artifacts are generated under `dist/`:
- `I Hate PDFs.app`
- `IHatePDFs-v<release>-macos.dmg`
- `IHatePDFs-v<release>-macos-arm64.tar.xz`
- `IHatePDFs-v<release>-macos-x86_64.tar.xz`
`dist/` and root package/archive extensions are ignored so generated outputs do not
pollute source control.
## App Store
Use `docs/APP_STORE.md` for signing identities, provisioning profile setup, and the
upload package command. After building the App Store package, run:
```sh
REQUIRE_APP_STORE_PKG=1 scripts/verify-release-artifacts.sh
```
Do not change App Store entitlements unless a shipped feature requires the new
capability.
