Release Standards
How Leo Dev Studio ships Apple-platform software with a security-first release process.
Direct macOS distribution
- App bundles are signed with a valid Apple Developer ID Application certificate.
- Each release is notarized through Apple's notary service before public download.
- Notarization tickets are stapled so Gatekeeper validation works as expected for end users.
- Release artifacts are published with versioned notes and predictable filenames.
App Store distribution
- App Store releases are signed with Apple Distribution certificates and uploaded through App Store Connect.
- Builds are submitted to Apple's review pipeline and follow current App Review guidelines.
- Metadata, support links, and privacy details are kept aligned with each release.
Operational controls
- Version and build numbers are tracked per release channel.
- Only signed and validated artifacts are shared publicly.
- Support docs and release notes are updated when user-visible behavior changes.
Trademark and relationship notice
- Apple, macOS, iOS, iCloud, and App Store are trademarks of Apple Inc.
- Leo Dev Studio is an independent developer and is not sponsored by or affiliated with Apple Inc.
