Shared checklist · Store fitness
A vibe-coded IPA or AAB is not store-ready when the preview looks finished. Treat App Store / Play readiness as a fitness ritual: the company holds signing, nutrition labels match collection, account deletion exists where required, and a crash-free soak has a named owner before the first external tester.

CodeCross LLC’s app-store-play-ready checklist is the signing, compliance, and crash-readiness gate before TestFlight or Play: the company holds the signing keys, nutrition labels match collection, and a crash-free soak exists. We cover App Signing, export compliance, account deletion, and symbol upload so a vibe-coded binary does not fail review or vanish without a stack. Intent is store fitness, not a generic ship freeze.
What store-ready actually means
Prompt loops optimize for a path that works in a friendly device. Store readiness is a ritual with owners: signing, listing truth, compliance answers, crash soak, and a halt you can execute without the person who prompted the feature.
Account Holder and Play owner stay on the company. Play App Signing and Apple distribution certs are named seats, not a zip on Slack.
Privacy nutrition labels, export compliance, and account-deletion paths have to match what the binary actually collects. Review fails the launch window when that story is invented later.
dSYM, Play mapping, and a crash product the on-call can open are part of readiness. A vibe binary that dies without a stack is not store-ready.
Keep the prior artifact warm. Document TestFlight expire, Play halt, and Missing Compliance answers. Freeze irreversible deletes until soak time passes.
The ritual
Adjust the order for iOS versus Play. Do not skip a gate because the screenshot looks done. The deliverable is a cut you can halt.
01
Account Holder, Play owner, bundle ID, package name, and Play App Signing on your entity. Invite the studio; do not paste a password.
02
Nutrition labels, export compliance, and account deletion match collection. Missing Compliance is a calendar item, not a surprise.
03
dSYM or mapping files land with the binary. Alert a human when crash-free sessions drop below the soak threshold.
04
TestFlight internal and Play internal first. External testers wait until someone else can expire or halt the cut.
How to
A pass/fail store-fitness ritual. The output is a signed cut with crash symbols and a named halt owner — not a polish punch list.
Step 01
Account Holder and Play owner are your entity. Enable Play App Signing. Record bundle ID and package name. Invite collaborators as Admin or Developer you can revoke.
Step 02
Nutrition labels, export compliance, and account-deletion paths describe real collection. Do not invent the story after Review asks.
Step 03
Upload dSYM or Play mapping with the candidate. Wire fatals to one place. Agree the crash-free threshold that blocks external testers.
Step 04
Exercise sign-in, the primary write, and the paid or invite path on devices you do not own. Record what failed instead of assuming the vibe preview covered it.
Step 05
Document TestFlight expire, Play halt, and Missing Compliance contacts. Freeze irreversible deletes until soak time passes. Do not call the binary store-ready until someone else can follow the halt.

Company-held signing, privacy nutrition labels that match collection, account deletion where required, crash symbols, an internal soak, and a named halt owner. CodeCross LLC treats those as pass/fail gates—not a polish punch list—so vibe binaries do not “ship” as irreversible store uploads.
Ship is freeze, provenance, smoke, and rollback for any cut. Store-ready is narrower: who holds Apple and Play keys, whether Play App Signing is on your owner account, and whether a collaborator can be revoked without losing the listing. We often run ship first, then this ritual; when the binary is FlutterFlow- or Rork-shaped, open the matching tool pack after the seats are named.
Symbols uploaded with the binary, a crash product on-call can open, and a crash-free budget on internal tracks. Deeper ANR or energy-operator questionnaires wait for a buyer who actually requires them. We will not call a vibe binary store-ready if week-one fatals have no stack.
Tool hardening pages cover launch survival for one generator. This checklist is the signing, compliance, and crash spine you can apply across mobile vibe apps. Cross-link /vibe-coding/flutterflow-mvp-hardening or /vibe-coding/rork-to-production when the next step is builder-specific.
Bring the candidate IPA or AAB and the store seats. We will name the gate that is still a guess — signing, labels, symbols, or soak — or tell you the ritual is already enough.
