+# Builds the iOS and Android shells whenever they, their address screen or the
+# Capacitor plugins change. Nobody on the team has to own a Mac for the Swift
+# side to be compiled on every change, and every run leaves a debug APK to
+# install on a phone.
+#
+# Unsigned on purpose: signing and store uploads need secrets that fork PRs do
+# not get, and belong in a release workflow of their own.
