## What is BuildStation?

BUILDSTATION gives you an iPhone control center for Xcode projects and app distribution tasks that run on your own Mac.

FROM PROJECT TO RELEASE
• Browse Xcode projects configured on your Mac.
• Import ZIP files, compare source changes, and approve updates.
• Manage queues, builds, and Xcode archives.
• Explicitly authorize uploads to App Store Connect.
• Follow job activity, history, Apple processing, and TestFlight availability when accessible.
• View the Release Passport, with verified milestones kept separate from unknown states.
• Inspect failures, copy diagnostic details, and export JSON reports.

PRIVATE CONNECTION
BUILDSTATION Companion connects your Mac and iPhone over a private Tailscale HTTPS network. Pair with a temporary QR code and revoke device access from your Mac. Source files stay on your Mac except for transfers you authorize, and Apple Developer credentials are not copied to iPhone.

ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTS
Real builds and uploads require a Mac capable of running Xcode, with Xcode installed and configured, BUILDSTATION Companion, Tailscale on Mac and iPhone, and a configured private connection. Publishing your apps also requires the appropriate permissions for your own Apple Developer account.

BUILDSTATION does not compile apps on iPhone or provide publisher-hosted cloud builds. Your Mac must be powered on and reachable during real operations.

EXPLORE WITHOUT A MAC
The built-in eight-step guided demo uses sample data. It is a local simulation: it does not launch Xcode, read real projects, or upload anything to Apple.

BUILDSTATION is an independent developer tool. Build processing does not mean that Apple has approved an app.
