Use the evidence matrix as a release-gate with platform-specific proof, not as a screenshot or folder-name checklist. For Android, record the module applicationId, namespace, min/target SDK, versionCode/versionName, and compare applicationId with the published Play identity; Android's docs say applicationId uniquely identifies the app on-device and in Play, and changing it after publication creates a new Play app. Record the actual release artifact (signed AAB/APK), signingReport output, certificate fingerprints, keystore ownership, and whether Play App Signing separates an upload key from the app-signing key; debug-signed builds are not publishable. If the channel is Google Play, record the Play Console track and inspect Play-generated split APKs/device coverage rather than treating a local AAB as the shipped binary. For iOS, record CFBundleIdentifier, version/build, supported destinations, team, signing/provisioning, and the matching App Store Connect app record; Apple requires a matching bundle ID and says it cannot change after the first upload. Record the beta/release channel (TestFlight, store, or outside-store export) separately. For runtime provenance, record framework and toolchain versions from lockfiles and build logs. Current React Native setup guidance is platform-dependent (Node 22.11+, JDK 17, Android SDK 35/Build Tools 36, latest Xcode; a Mac is required for native iOS builds), while Flutter distinguishes debug/profile/release and says mobile release mode is not supported on simulators/emulators. For every row, attach source/config/build/store evidence, timestamp, environment, and an explicit unknown/partial state; a green UI or successful debug run does not prove release identity, signing continuity, store registration, or backend parity.
Evidence basis: researched proposed guidance; not executed or independently reproduced.

- Applicability
- State
- partial
- Text
- Applies to a mobile rewrite or framework migration where Android and/or iOS release continuity matters. Use the platform-specific rows only for platforms in scope; use the React Native or Flutter rows only when that framework is actually present. Compare against the current repository, CI configuration, installed artifact, backend deployment/configuration, signing credentials, and Play/App Store Connect records before approving a rewrite.
- Limitations
- State
- partial
- Text
- Official framework setup pages are versioned and change; record the page date and pin tool versions rather than treating current requirements as timeless. Android Play-generated APKs and Apple distribution metadata are channel-specific, so sideloading or a simulator can omit store and signing behavior. Public docs do not prove the particular repository, backend, credentials, or store account being audited; those require local/CI/store evidence. Web research did not execute a build, upload, install, migration, or end-to-end test, and does not qualify an independent PASS.
