Environment

My company is very security-minded and I would like to refrain from sharing the entirety of the Fastfile and specifics about the state of my machine. Please let me know if there are any specific questions about either and I'll be happy to answer to the best of my ability, and apologies for not being able to provide more info at this time.

Hey @AlexScharch-BO @freddi-kit 👋 I have opened a PR for migrating the verify_only flag to use altool, as it was blocking one of our CI pipelines at work. #20738

[AlexScharch-BO]

Awesome. Thank you, @pol-piella!
