App Store Connect 2.0
App Store Connect 2.0 includes a refreshed UI throughout the app, as well as new capabilities. Developers are able to promote their apps by generating marketing assets for app launches, version updates, featured placements in the Today tab, and more.
These marketing assets that are generated for special moments can be shared on various social media channels for app promotion purposes.
The app is still super slow and doesn’t stay logged in. It’s unable to auto-fill my password even though it’s in iCloud Keychain and Safari can. The text on the marketing assets is generic (not based on the release notes) and can’t be customized. It suggests “Improved with New Features” for my bug-fix update that doesn’t have any new features.
App Store Connect, the web app that developers use to submit their apps to Apple’s App Store and manage them, was updated yesterday with new tools developers can use to promote their apps.
Developers have been able to submit promotional requests to Apple for quite some time, but the new Featuring Nomination process is now baked right into App Store Connect. Developers can submit nominations from App Store Connect where they will be asked for information about their app. Nominations can be made for events such as a new app launch or adding in-app content and features. When an app is chosen by the App Store editorial team for a feature, developers will be notified in App Store Connect, too.
