Tracking the `TODO` in the `test-ios` job of `.github/workflows/check.yml`. The iOS integration tests only ever run in the default (Debug) configuration; the Release invocation is present but commented out: https://github.com/callstackincubator/react-native-node-api/blob/29a527d87fa8cb965b0048b1b4c1cff2b0eab281/.github/workflows/check.yml#L236-L240 Debug-only coverage leaves the configuration users actually ship untested. Release differs in ways that matter for this project specifically: optimisation and dead-stripping can drop symbols the addon loader looks up at runtime, `NDEBUG` removes the `assert`s that the C++ host relies on for its invariants, and code-signing/bitcode behaviour differs for the dynamic libraries inside the prebuilt XCFrameworks. The `TODO` says "when it works", so the first step is to find out how it currently fails — run `pnpm run test:ios:allTests --mode Release` locally against `apps/test-app` and capture the failure. Depending on what it is, the fix may live in the prebuild pipeline (`packages/host/src/node/prebuilds/apple.ts`) rather than in the workflow. Related: `Logger.cpp` unconditionally emits debug logs, which a Release run would surface (see the "disable debug logging in release builds" issue).
