Prevent iOS privacy issues before App Store submission
Privacy Release Gate for iOS is a CI-native App Store privacy release gate for teams shipping iOS apps. It helps iOS teams detect privacy-related release risks before App Store submission by scanning the real release surface, not just the source tree. The product validates PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy coverage, required-reason API declarations, missing or invalid privacy manifests, bundle surfaces, embedded frameworks, app extensions, Mach-O binaries, linked libraries, imported symbols, SDK/privacy-sensitive signals, ownership routing and baseline changes between releases. It turns those checks into a clear release decision: PASS / WARN / FAIL and generates actionable evidence artifacts for engineering, release managers, QA, compliance, AppSec teams or client sign-off. This is not a generic scanner. It is a focused iOS release assurance asset designed to answer one practical question: βIs this iOS release ready to move forward from an App Store privacy-risk perspective?β Core capabilities include: CLI GitHub Action project-tree scanning .xcarchive / release-artifact scanning PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy validation required-reason API checks bundle surface inventory for .app, .appex, .framework and .xcframework Mach-O binary detection linked library and imported symbol analysis SDK/privacy-sensitive signal detection risk scoring by release surface PASS / WARN / FAIL decisioning baseline comparison between releases ownership routing through CODEOWNERS or custom ownership rules evidence generation in JSON, HTML, Markdown, SARIF and CI summary formats optional PR comment / GitHub workflow summary policy exceptions with owner, reason, ticket and expiry support Included in the sale: full source code CLI GitHub Action scanner logic policy engine reporting modules baseline comparison logic ownership routing logic tests and smoke coverage documentation demo assets commercial positioning material technical handoff Current status: technically mature transfer-ready pre-revenue validated locally with 118 passing tests positioned for mobile agencies, CI/CD vendors, Mobile AppSec companies, QA/compliance consultancies, DevTools operators or buyers who want to commercialize it as a product, white-label service or bolt-on feature Best-fit buyers: mobile agencies managing multiple iOS apps CI/CD platforms serving mobile teams Mobile AppSec vendors DevSecOps companies QA/compliance consultancies operators looking for a focused iOS compliance/release product Commercial potential: The asset can be used as: an internal release assurance tool a paid agency add-on a GitHub Marketplace product a CI/CD feature a white-label client service a mobile AppSec module an App Store readiness product for iOS teams Important note: This is not sold as a guarantee of App Store approval. Its value is reducing release risk, surfacing privacy issues earlier, assigning ownership, comparing changes against a baseline and producing evidence before shipping. Reason for sale: We are focusing on other opportunities and would rather transfer this asset to a buyer who can commercialize it properly. The price is intentionally low for a quick and clean transfer. Rebuilding this from scratch would likely cost significantly more in engineering time alone, especially considering the scanner, GitHub Action, reporting, baseline comparison, ownership routing, tests and documentation already included.

Reason for selling
The project is technically mature, but it would benefit from a buyer or operator with stronger distribution, sales, or commercialization capabilities. We built it as a focused B2B tooling asset with clear buyer fit, but we are prioritizing other opportunities and would rather transfer it to someone who can take it to market properly.
