Answer from AI

In iOS development, several types of build processes can be distinguished:

  1. Debug (Debug build) — used during development. Includes debug information, not optimized for speed or size. Allows the use of debuggers, logs, and other tools.

  2. Release (Release build) — optimized for performance and size. Usually lacks debug information, making the build faster and more compact. Used for publishing the app.

  3. Ad Hoc — a build for limited distribution, for example, testing on real devices outside the App Store.

  4. App Store — a build prepared for publication in the App Store, with appropriate signing and optimization settings.

The differences mainly relate to the level of optimization, presence of debug information, and signing settings. Debug builds are convenient for development, while Release is for the end user.
