+Before App Store submission, create a signed Release archive and inspect the
+packaged application rather than relying on Debug build settings:
+
+```sh
+cd ios
+xcodebuild \
+  -project Gotcha.xcodeproj \
+  -scheme Gotcha \
+  -configuration Release \
+  -destination 'generic/platform=iOS' \
+  -archivePath /private/tmp/Gotcha.xcarchive \
+  archive
+```
+
+Verify the archived app reports version `1.0` and a positive build number, is
+signed for distribution with the expected bundle identifier and entitlements,
+contains `PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy`, and declares the correct export-compliance
+answer before uploading it to App Store Connect.
