When you open the Release Manager, you'll land on the main dashboard. It's organized into two areas: your main content on the left and a sidebar on the right.

Current Release Cards

At the top of the dashboard, the Current Releases card shows your active versions in production. You'll see a card for each platform — iOS and Android — displayed side by side.

When a platform is connected, its card shows:

Platform name and type (e.g., "iPhone — iOS" or "Android")
Status badge — "Published" (green) when live, or "Blocked" (red) if there's an account issue
Version and build number (e.g., "Version 1.2.3 (456)")
Release date — when the current version went live
"View" link — opens App Store Connect or Google Play Console directly

✅ Both platforms connected and live — this is what a fully set up Release Manager looks like.

When a platform is not connected, the card shows:

A "Setup Required" badge
A brief message explaining what's needed (API key for iOS, service account for Android)
A "Get started" button that opens the credentials setup flow

If an account blocker is detected (e.g., an unsigned agreement or expired membership), the card displays a red banner with the issue and a link to resolve it.

Build Progress

The Build Progress card tracks your pending releases in real time. When you have active builds, you'll see:

A count badge in the header (e.g., "2 active builds")
A build card per platform showing: version number and platform, build type (Production, TestFlight, APK), status badge, a progress bar with percentage and estimated time remaining, and a "View Details" link for completed or failed builds
"All builds complete" (green) once everything has finished

When no builds are in progress, you'll see an empty state: "No active builds — Start a new release to see build progress here."

The dashboard automatically checks for updates — every 15 seconds while builds are active, and every 60 seconds when idle.

Release History

The Release History card shows past versions and updates, split by platform.

iOS Release History (when connected):

Your current live version with build number and upload date
A color-coded status indicator — Live (green), In Review (amber), Rejected (red), Processing (blue)
A sparkline showing your 5 most recent versions at a glance
"View Release History" button — opens a sliding panel with your full version history
If your latest version was rejected, a red banner appears with a direct link to App Store Connect

Android Release History (when connected):

Your current live version with build number and date
A status indicator
"View in Play Console" link — since full historical data isn't available via the Google Play API, this links you directly to the Play Console for details

When a platform isn't connected, the history card shows a setup prompt with a "Configure Credentials" button.

Sidebar

The right side of the dashboard contains a single action: the "Create New Release" button. This button is enabled as long as at least one platform has verified credentials.
