+# Biz Connect — App Store submission pack
+
+Everything App Store Connect asks for, drafted. Fill the **`<< … >>`** placeholders (they're
+account-specific or secret and must NOT be committed). Order below ≈ the order App Store Connect walks you through.
+
+---
+
+## 0. Before you submit (gates that cause rejection)
+
+- [ ] **Verified build** uploaded from Codemagic to App Store Connect (the one you tested on-device — multi-device tiles, call transcript, scheduled-meeting transcript, calls still ring).
+- [ ] **Reviewer demo account** created and working (§6). The app is gated behind BizGaze login — without working credentials Apple auto-rejects ("couldn't get past sign-in").
+- [ ] **Privacy Policy URL** live and reachable (§4 needs it).
+- [ ] **Screenshots** captured for the required sizes (§5).
+- [ ] **Export compliance** answered (§7).
+
+---
+
+## 1. App information
+
+| Field | Value |
+|---|---|
+| **App name** | Biz Connect |
+| **Subtitle** (30 char max) | Team chat, calls & meetings |
+| **Primary category** | Business |
+| **Secondary category** | Productivity |
+| **Bundle ID** | com.bizgaze.connect |
+| **Support URL** | `<< https://…/support >>` |

+
+---
+
+## 2. Description
+
+> Biz Connect keeps your team connected — chat, voice and video calls, and meetings, in one place.
+>
+> **Chat that works the way your team does**
+> • Direct messages and group conversations
+> • Reactions, replies, mentions, pinned messages, and polls
+> • Share photos, videos, and files
+> • Read receipts and typing indicators
+>
+> **Calls that ring like a real phone**
+> • One-to-one and group voice & video calls
+> • Full-screen incoming call ringing, even when the app is closed
+> • Calls keep working when you switch apps or lock your phone
+>
+> **Meetings, built in**
+> • Start instantly or schedule ahead
+> • Screen sharing and camera, front or back
+> • Live transcripts you can save and download
+> • Meeting recordings for later
+>
+> **Everywhere you are**
+> Your conversations stay in sync across iPhone, desktop, and the web.
+>
+> Biz Connect is for organizations using the BizGaze platform. Sign in with your BizGaze account to get started.
+
+**Keywords** (100 char max, comma-separated, no spaces after commas):
+`team chat,business messaging,video call,voice call,meetings,screen share,transcript,collaboration,work`
+
+**Promotional text** (170 char, editable without a new build):
+> Chat, call, and meet with your team — with real-phone-style ringing, screen sharing, and live meeting transcripts.
+
+---
+
+## 3. What's New (release notes for this version)
+
+> • Live meeting transcripts on iPhone — for both calls and scheduled meetings
+> • Join the same meeting from two devices at once, each as its own participant
+> • Stability and audio-routing improvements
+
+---
+
+## 4. App Privacy ("nutrition label")
+
+Answer these in App Store Connect → App Privacy. **Verify each against what the BizGaze backend actually stores**
+before publishing — this is a legal declaration. Sensible defaults for a business comms app:
+
+**Data used to identify the user (Linked to identity):**
+- **Contact Info → Name, Email address** — App Functionality, Account management. (BizGaze login.)
+- **User Content → Photos or Videos, Other User Content (messages, files)** — App Functionality. (Chat/meeting content stored on your server.)
+- **Identifiers → User ID** — App Functionality.
+
+**Diagnostics / Usage:** declare only if you actually collect analytics/crash data. If not, mark **"Data Not Collected"** for those.
+
+**Important clarifications to make in the notes:**
+- **Microphone & Camera** audio/video for calls is transmitted between participants (via your LiveKit server) but is only *recorded/stored* when a user explicitly starts a recording or transcript. Say so.
+- **Speech recognition** for transcripts runs **on-device** (Apple's `SFSpeechRecognizer`, on-device mode) — the audio is not sent to Apple, and only the finished text is added to the meeting transcript. This is a good thing to state explicitly; it reassures review.
+- **Third-party:** if BizGaze/LiveKit are your own infrastructure, no third-party SDK data-sharing to declare. Confirm you have no analytics/ad SDKs.
+
+**Privacy usage strings** (already in the build via `ios-patch.sh` — for reference):
+- Camera: "Biz Connect uses the camera for video calls and to share photos and your screen."
+- Microphone: "Biz Connect uses the microphone for voice and video calls."
+- Speech Recognition: "Biz Connect uses speech recognition to create live meeting transcripts from your microphone."
+- Photo Library / Add: send/save images.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Screenshots
+
+Required (App Store Connect accepts one size and scales, but do at least these two):
+- [ ] **6.9" iPhone** (1320 × 2868) — iPhone 16 Pro Max class
+- [ ] **6.5" iPhone** (1242 × 2688) — fallback for older devices
+- [ ] (Optional) iPad if you enable iPad support
+
+Suggested 4–5 shots, in order: **chat list → a conversation → an active video call → screen share / meeting → live transcript**. Use realistic but non-sensitive demo content.
+
+---
+
+## 6. App Review notes (paste into "Notes")
+
+> Biz Connect requires a BizGaze account to sign in.
+>
+> Demo account for review:
+>   Email: << demo@yourdomain >>
+>   Password: << demo password >>
+>
+> How to test:
+> 1. Open the app and sign in with the demo account above.
+> 2. Chat tab: open a conversation to see messaging.
+> 3. Start a call from a conversation, or the Meetings tab to start/join a meeting.
+> 4. In a meeting, tap "Live transcript" to see on-device speech-to-text.
+>
+> Notes on permissions:
+> • Microphone/Camera — used for voice and video calls.
+> • Speech Recognition — used only to generate live meeting transcripts; recognition runs on-device.
+> • Screen recording (broadcast) — used only when the user chooses to share their screen in a meeting.
+> • VoIP push (PushKit) + CallKit — used to ring incoming calls like a normal phone call.
+
+**Create the demo account now** and confirm it can actually log in and start a call. A dead demo login is the #1 rejection cause for account-gated apps.
+
+---
+
+## 7. Export compliance
+
+The app uses only standard encryption (HTTPS/TLS, WebRTC/DTLS-SRTP) — no proprietary/custom crypto.
+- In App Store Connect: **"Does your app use encryption?" → Yes**, then **"only … standard encryption algorithms" → Yes** → qualifies for the exemption (no CCATS/year-end self-classification report needed for standard encryption).
+- Optional: set `ITSAppUsesNonExemptEncryption = NO` in Info.plist to skip the question each submission (add to `ios-patch.sh` if you want it permanent — say the word and I'll add it).
+
+---
+
+## 8. Likely review questions / risks (and answers)
+
+- **Account-gated app** → mitigated by the demo account (§6). Also fine per guideline 3.1.1 since it's a business tool, not gating features behind sign-in for a consumer app.
+- **User-generated content (chat)** → guideline 1.2 satisfied (shipped 2026-08-19): every message has **Report** (long-press / ⋮ → Report, canned reasons) and **Block user**; blocked users can't message or call you (server-enforced). A **Blocked users** manager lives in the profile menu (unblock anytime), and workspace **admins** get a **Reported messages** review screen (delete content / block / resolve). Reports are org-internal (routed to the workspace's own admins). Reviewer note suggestion: "Report and Block are available on any message via long-press; Blocked users are managed from the profile menu."
+- **CallKit + VoIP push** → legitimate; the demo/reviewer flow should show a real incoming call if possible.
+- **Background modes** (audio, voip) → justified by calls; the review notes cover it.
+
+---
+
+## 9. Nice-to-haves (not blockers)
+
+- App Store promotional/preview **video** (optional).
+- Localized metadata if you target non-English regions.
+- A short **"in-app account deletion"** path — Apple requires apps with account creation to offer account deletion (guideline 5.1.1(v)). If BizGaze accounts are created/managed externally (admin-provisioned, not self-signup in the app), note that in review; if users *can* self-register in the app, an in-app "delete my account" (or a clear link to do so) is required.
