Spent considerable effort trying to connect Xcode Cloud directly to
this repo's self-hosted Gitea - confirmed not achievable. GitHub
Enterprise's provider option hits Gitea's missing /api/v3/ path;
GitLab Self-Managed rejects Gitea's UUID-format OAuth2 Client IDs
against App Store Connect's 64-char-hex requirement (verified by
actually creating a real OAuth2 app and having it rejected). Also
stood up Tailscale Funnel on the Gitea host for real public HTTPS
access regardless (was LAN-only before), and switched origin to it.
Replaced release.yml's commented-out altool placeholder (defunct -
Apple retired that upload path in 2023) with the current supported
approach: xcodebuild -exportArchive with API-key auth flags handles
export and TestFlight upload in a single step.
