 ## 5. App Store Connect (manual)
 
 - [ ] Wait for the build to finish processing.
-- [ ] Answer the export compliance questions for the build (it shows "Missing Compliance" until you do).
-      SnapSafe uses non-exempt encryption: answer yes, standard algorithms. `Snap-Safe-Info.plist`
-      deliberately omits `ITSAppUsesNonExemptEncryption`: setting it without an
-      `ITSEncryptionExportComplianceCode` makes the upload fail with error 90592, and the app has no
-      approved encryption documentation code yet. If App Store Connect issues one, add both keys.
+- [ ] Check export compliance for the build. `Snap-Safe-Info.plist` declares
+      `ITSAppUsesNonExemptEncryption = YES` (SnapSafe's AES-256-GCM media encryption is not exempt).
+      App Store Connect rejects the upload with error 90592 unless the plist also carries an
+      `ITSEncryptionExportComplianceCode` matching the app's approved encryption documentation.
 - [ ] Create the new version, enter "What's New" release notes, and select the build.
 - [ ] Update screenshots if the UI changed.
 - [ ] Submit for review; release once approved.
