TestFlight — Eric's Drop to Phone (iOS)

For the paid App Store walkthrough (Plan B), use APP_STORE.md. This page is only CI / Match / the one-time listing fields.

CI uploads to TestFlight with Fastlane Match and an App Store Connect API key.

Apple Developer bundle ID com.droptophone.app is registered (VHJS6KRH8K, team 528M2RYVHB). The App Store Match profile exists. Uploads stay off until TESTFLIGHT_ENABLED is true and the App Store Connect listing exists.

Apple's API cannot create the App Store Connect listing (POST /v1/apps is forbidden). Create that once in the website, then CI can upload.
