There was no way to get TG Archive onto TestFlight and nothing to paste into App Store Connect. The repo had no release workflow, no store text, no review notes, and a README stub. The store text also has to follow the new wording. TG Archive is the iOS client for Telegram-Archive, and nothing calls it "unofficial".

This adds the release path and the store material:

  • release.yml uploads to TestFlight when a v* tag lands on a main commit whose CI passed and the tag matches MARKETING_VERSION. It signs with the "TG Archive App Store" profile and stops early if the PROFILE_APP secret holds a different profile. This is the pumperly-ios workflow cut down to one app target, with the same pinned actions.
  • docs/app-store/ has the English and Spanish store text: name, subtitle "Read your Telegram-Archive" / "Lee tu Telegram-Archive", promotional text, keywords, description, support and privacy URLs. The description opens as the iOS client for the open-source Telegram-Archive server you run yourself and closes with the disclosure. There's also a review notes template that answers the six Guideline 2.1 questions. The demo address, login and share link stay placeholders.
  • The README starts with the banner block from docs: make TG Archive look like Telegram-Archive's iOS edition #3, then the pitch, features, quick start, documentation and license.
  • StoreTextTests holds all of this to its rules: App Store Connect's field limits, the opening and disclosure lines, no "unofficial", no bare "Telegram" in the name, subtitle or keywords, no keyword that repeats a title word, and a review template with no hostnames. It also checks that the shipped icon is the AppIcon set (one opaque 1024 px universal image) and that release.yml uses the same team, bundle id and profile as project.yml. The CI floor goes from 209 to 219.
  • DESIGN.md gets two stage notes for the new disclosure and subtitle.

The icon is already the Telegram-Archive mark from #3, byte for byte the same file as on banner-proposals. Its single 1024 px universal entry was already right, so the icon set needed no change.

Verification, on a Mac with Xcode 27 and a fresh iPhone 17 Pro simulator:

  • Test run with 218 tests in 33 suites passed, the launch UI test passed, ** TEST SUCCEEDED **, totalTestCount=219 failedTests=0. The same result bundle fails the gate with floor 220.
  • I broke four inputs in a copy: a subtitle over 30 characters, "no oficial" in the Spanish text, a wrong profile name in release.yml, and "Simulator" in the review template. The two new suites failed on each one (Test run with 10 tests in 2 suites failed ... with 5 issues).
  • I ran the workflow's archive and export steps by hand with the distribution certificate in a temporary keychain: ** ARCHIVE SUCCEEDED **, ** EXPORT SUCCEEDED **. That produced TGArchive.ipa, signed by Apple Distribution for team 624WUVM8B4 with the "TG Archive App Store" profile embedded, display name TG Archive, version 0.1.0, icon name AppIcon. Nothing was uploaded and no tag was pushed.
  • I checked the tag gate both ways: v0.1.0 passes against MARKETING_VERSION 0.1.0 and v0.2.0 fails. A commit off main fails the ancestry check.

Still open, in files other stages own: the About screen string about.disclaimer, its word-for-word test in LocalizationTests, and AGENTS.md still use the old "unofficial" sentence.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Added English and Spanish App Store listings describing TG Archive’s chat, media, download, and search features, along with privacy, server, and licensing details.
    • Expanded the README with information about the app, setup, source builds, simulator tests, and project resources.
    • Updated product copy guidance for store subtitles and disclosure wording.

A v* tag that matches MARKETING_VERSION, on a main commit whose CI passed,
archives the app with the TG Archive App Store profile and uploads it.
…es template

The description opens as the iOS client for the Telegram-Archive server you
run yourself and closes with the project's disclosure. The review notes keep
the demo address, login and share link as placeholders.
Checks App Store Connect's field limits, the opening and disclosure lines, that
nothing says unofficial, the 1024 px opaque icon, and that release.yml signs
with the team, bundle id and profile project.yml declares. Raises the CI test
floor to 219.

Walkthrough

The changes add English and Spanish App Store listings and review notes, test store and release metadata, raise the CI test-count gate to 219, and add a tag-triggered workflow that builds and uploads releases to TestFlight.

Adds tests for store text, review notes, app icon details, and release metadata. Raises the CI test-count gate from 209 to 219 while retaining the zero-failure requirement.
TestFlight release workflow
.github/workflows/release.yml, README.md
Adds checks and steps to sign, archive, export, and upload a tagged release to TestFlight, followed by cleanup of signing assets. Adds project setup, build, test, demo-server, and release instructions to the README.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to c5040

The release workflow and store materials are mostly ready. Before submitting to the App Store, resolve the listing's plain-HTTP claim and the disclosure wording. Also allow a 30-character subtitle in the test and add a check that the release stops when CI has not passed.

Review comments at @.github/workflows/release.yml:
- Around line 40-42: Add a negative-control release test for the CI-result gate
that simulates no successful ci.yml run and verifies the workflow stops before
signing. Anchor the test to the conclusion check in the release workflow and
preserve the existing tag, ancestry, and release-metadata checks.

Review comments at @docs/app-store/description.en.md:
- Line 44: Restore the prescribed disclosure wording in the English and Spanish
store descriptions, and update the Stage 10 note to describe that same
disclosure. In docs/app-store/description.en.md at line 44 and
docs/app-store/description.es.md at line 44, replace the current wording with
the required disclosure; in docs/DESIGN.md at line 21, revise the note to match.
- Line 39: Remove the plain-HTTP claim from both listings: update
docs/app-store/description.en.md at line 39 and docs/app-store/description.es.md
at line 39 to say the self-hosted server is reachable over HTTPS only,
preserving the rest of each description.

Review comments at @TGArchiveTests/StoreTextTests.swift:
- Line 64: Update the subtitle length assertion in the StoreTextTests test using
field(fields, "Subtitle") to accept lengths up to and including 30 characters,
while preserving the existing check against longer subtitles.
- Around line 54-55: Update the expected disclosure strings in StoreTextTests
for both locales to match the required store-description text, and remove the
assertion that rejects “unofficial.”
