Walkthrough

Adds a “Select Xcode” step to the documented GitHub Actions workflow for iOS release, switching to Xcode 16.4 and downloading the iOS platform. The step is positioned after “Download iOS Artifact” and before “Fix File Permissions and Run fastlane.” No API or public entity changes.

Poem

I twitch my whiskers at CI’s new might,
Selecting Xcode 16.4 just right.
Artifacts fetched, platforms prepped,
Fastlane bounds where steps are kept.
With paws on keys, release takes flight—
A hop, a build, to App Store night! 🐇✨

456-461: Update download-artifact to v4 for parity and fixes

You’re uploading with actions/upload-artifact@v4 above; switch the download action to v4 as well for consistency and to benefit from recent fixes.

-      - name: Download iOS Artifact
-        uses: actions/download-artifact@v3
+      - name: Download iOS Artifact
+        uses: actions/download-artifact@v4
         with:
           name: build-iOS
           path: build/iOS

462-466: Use setup-xcode & pin macOS 15 runner for Xcode 16.4

Hard-coding /Applications/Xcode_16.4.app can break when GitHub’s macOS images rotate. Prefer using the official setup action and explicitly targeting the macOS 15 image that ships Xcode 16.4.

• In docs/03-github/06-deployment/ios.mdx (around lines 462–466), replace the hardcoded switch step:

-      - name: Select Xcode
-        run: |
-          sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode_16.4.app
-          xcodebuild -downloadPlatform iOS
+      - name: Set up Xcode 16.4
+        uses: apple-actions/setup-xcode@v1
+        with:
+          xcode-version: '16.4'
+      - name: Download iOS platform support
+        run: xcodebuild -downloadPlatform iOS

• Make sure your workflow job is pinned to runs-on: macos-15 (or macos-15-arm64 for ARM) so that Xcode 16.4 is guaranteed present.
