What problem does it solve? Writing engaging, localized App Store release notes for every locale is repetitive and error-prone, and weak notes waste the 170-character visible window that drives conversion. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Flexible Input Parsing: Accepts git log output since the last tag, rough bullet points, or conversational free text, and classifies changes into New, Improved, and Fixed sections. - Benefit-Focused Drafting: Writes conversion-oriented copy that front-loads the hook in the first 170 characters, echoes relevant keywords from local metadata, and respects the 4,000-character limit. - Multi-Locale Localization: Translates approved notes into all existing locales with formal register, cultural adaptation, and per-locale keyword echo, then uploads via the asc CLI after user approval. - Use Case: After merging a release branch, paste your git log and get approved, localized What's New text plus optional 170-character promotional text pushed to App Store Connect for every locale. ## Quick Start Generate localized App Store release notes from my git log since the last tag using the metadata in ./metadata.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write App Store release notes from git log?▼

Run git log since the last tag with git describe --tags --abbrev=0, filter out merge commits and dependency bumps, then classify user-facing changes into New, Improved, and Fixed sections. The skill drafts benefit-focused copy and localizes it for all locales.

What is the character limit for App Store What's New text?▼

What's New has a hard limit of 4,000 characters, but only the first ~170 characters are visible before users tap more. Aim for 500-1500 characters in the primary locale to leave room for 30-40% expansion in translations.

Does What's New text affect App Store search ranking?▼

No, What's New is not indexed for App Store search. Keywords are echoed only for conversion, so users who searched those terms feel confident they found the right app. Write for humans, not algorithms.

Can I update App Store promotional text without a new submission?▼

Yes, promotional text is the only metadata field updatable without a new app submission. It is limited to 170 characters and can summarize the update theme or reference seasonal events.

How are release notes uploaded to App Store Connect?▼

After user approval, notes are uploaded via the asc CLI using asc apps info edit per locale or a bulk asc metadata push of the canonical ./metadata directory. Partial failures are reported per locale with retry options.
