+scope: iOS release artifact verification
+evidence: build 45 Xcode archive warning plus direct PlistBuddy inspection of the exported IPA
+destination: .codex/skills/release-mobile/SKILL.md
+review_after: 2027-02-28
+---
+
+## Symptom
+
+The signed iOS build logged that the widget extension build number 44 did not
+match the containing app build number 45, even though export completed.
+
+## Reproduction
+
+Build iOS version 1.0.6 with EAS auto-increment from build 44 to 45 and retain the
+archive log. Extract the resulting IPA with `ditto`, then read the containing app
+and every packaged extension `Info.plist` with `PlistBuddy`.
+
+## Cause
+
+The archive warning described an intermediate state and was not authoritative
+for the exported package. Direct IPA inspection showed both the app and
+`LiveDrawWidget.appex` at version 1.0.6 build 45.
+
+## Remediation
+
+For every iOS release, inspect version and build values in the exported app and
+all packaged extensions. Reject or rebuild only when the final IPA values differ;
+do not accept or reject a release from archive warnings alone.
+
+## Evidence
+
+`PlistBuddy` read `CFBundleShortVersionString` 1.0.6 and `CFBundleVersion` 45 from
+both packaged plists. `codesign --verify --deep --strict` passed for the app, and
+the verified IPA SHA-256 was
+`9d4779bddac4647911a3a38e4ee37cf794c2b8691e0746a041b629c62b308e7f`.
