Add a self-contained set of scripts to build, sign, and submit Session iOS to TestFlight without opening Xcode — runnable locally and CI-ready (all credentials via environment variables / .env).

  • release.sh: one-command orchestrator (reads master's version, tag-gates, builds, attaches to a GitHub draft, uploads to TestFlight)
  • bump_version.sh: bumps the project-level version on dev and opens a PR
  • prepare_github_release.sh: creates the tag + GitHub draft release
  • build_release.sh: distribution device archive + IPA export (session-.ipa)
  • testflight_upload.sh: uploads the IPA via the App Store Connect API key
  • release_env.sh / lib_version.sh: shared credential/keychain + version helpers
  • build_ci.sh: new archive-device mode (Apple Distribution + dwarf-with-dsym)
  • exportOptions.plist, RELEASING.md, and .gitignore entries for credentials

Signing uses cloud-managed certificates via an App Store Connect API key and -allowProvisioningUpdates, so no .p12 is required.
