But you can’t have reproducible builds at least in the App Store.

Apple can implement to show pre-encrypt hash if they want. I cannot see anything negative impact for them if we just give some pressure.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I think it would be phenomenal if Apple were to allow reproducible builds on the App Store!

But given both the existing encryption as you mention, and Bitcode (mandatory for at least the Apple Watch for now), I think it's unfortunately pretty unlikely to happen.
