Before you build
A public repository or source recommendation is not a safety guarantee.
Select exact source
Section titled “Select exact source”Check the repository, commit, and Xcode project/scheme on the app page. An exact-version link preserves that selection. Your Mac verifies the repository and commit before building; local edits are preserved.
Give local build consent
Section titled “Give local build consent”Read the source, dependencies, and build scripts before approving. Xcode Run Script phases and plugins can execute code on your Mac.
Opening a link or reading a review never authorizes execution. Source requiring Mac review waits for explicit approval of the exact commit; unsupported source does not build.
Build and install
Section titled “Build and install”Xcode uses your Apple signing identity. The verified app goes only to your intended iPhone. A newer commit requires a separate update choice. Signing does not make malicious behavior safe.
