FACTUAL ACTIVITY RECORD · An activity record based on work that took place
Moving macOS distribution to the standard Xcode flow
Removing manual CI signing assumptions in favor of Organizer and automatic signing
Purpose
A CI-built signing path duplicated assumptions already handled by the standard macOS Archive, notarization, and export process.
Implementation
The dedicated release workflow was removed, and the Xcode project was aligned with automatic signing and Hardened Runtime. Distribution instructions now use the standard Xcode Organizer path for Archive, notarization, and export, while documentation based on CI signing secrets was removed.
The custom release workflow was removed in favor of the standard Xcode Organizer sequence: archive, Developer ID distribution, automatic signing, notarization, and export of the notarized app. Project settings also moved from manual to automatic signing.

What was confirmed
Verification results
Project configuration, Hardened Runtime, automatic signing, specification audits, and diff checks passed.
Archive, notarization, export through Organizer, and installation on a device had not yet been performed by the cutoff.
Basis for completion
The change was complete when the distribution method and project configuration consistently used the standard Xcode path.
