Appstore Submission Content

App Store Submission Content

Generate polished, App Store-ready text content for your iOS/macOS app submission. This skill handles all localizable fields, enforces Apple's strict character and formatting rules, and outputs clean markdown organized by language.

When to Use

Users ask things like:

• "Generate App Store description for my app"
• "Write App Store keywords and description"
• "Create submission content for [app name]"
• "Help with App Store Connect text fields"

Your job: gather app details, generate compelling content for all fields, and output structured markdown ready to copy-paste into App Store Connect.

What Makes Strong App Store Content

Apple's App Store is highly competitive. Your text content is often the deciding factor between a download and being scrolled past.

App Name (30 chars max)

• Weak: "My Great Task Manager App"
• Strong: "Done - Simple Tasks"

Subtitle (30 chars max)

• Weak: "The best to-do list app ever made"
• Strong: "Focus on what matters, not the noise"

Description (4000 chars)

• Weak: "This app has many features. You can add tasks. You can check them off. It is very useful."
• Strong: "Done replaces your scattered notes with a single, elegant system. Add tasks in seconds, organize with natural tags, and get intelligent reminders when it actually matters. No subscription required."

Keywords (100 chars, comma-separated)

• Weak: "todo, task, list, tasks, todo list, to do, checklist, check list, productivity, organize"
• Strong: "tasks,focus,productivity,minimal,simple,organize"

What's New

• Weak: "Bug fixes and improvements"
• Strong: "Redesigned home screen with quick-add widget. Fixed crash when syncing with iCloud. Added dark mode support."

Field Reference

Localizable Fields (per language)

Global Fields (not localized)

Character Rules

Your content must NEVER contain characters that trigger App Store rejection:

Forbidden (rejection risk)

Allowed

• Standard ASCII and punctuation
• Hyphens (-) and asterisks (*) as bullet replacements
• Accented/diacritic characters for non-English localizations
• Line breaks within Description and What's New
• Apostrophes ('), quotation marks (", ')

Supported Languages

The App Store supports 39 locales. Generate content in these languages as needed:

Multi-Language Detection

How to Detect Localization in a Project

1. iOS/macOS Native:

   • *.lproj/Localizable.strings files
   • knownRegions in .xcodeproj/project.pbxproj

2. Flutter:

   • lib/l10n/*.arb files

3. React Native / Generic:

   • i18n/, locales/, translations/ directories

4. Android / Cross-platform:

   • res/values-*/strings.xml

Multi-Language Workflow

1. Scan project for localization signals using the paths above
2. If localization detected → report found languages, ask user to confirm multi-language output (recommend yes)
3. If confirmed → generate all localizable fields for each detected language
4. If no localization detected → default to English (US) only

Project Analysis Guide

What to Extract

Before generating content, analyze the codebase to gather:

Questions to Ask User

If information is missing, ask:

• What is the app's primary purpose?
• Who is the target audience?
• What are the top 3 features?
• Is there existing copy you'd like to adapt?
• What company/developer name for copyright?

Per-Field Writing Guidance

App Name

Weak: Contains keywords, too long, generic Strong: Memorable, distinctive, fits 30-char limit

Subtitle

Weak: Generic praise, keyword stuffing Strong: Specific benefit, unique positioning

Description

Weak: Feature list without context, generic claims Strong: Benefit-driven opening, specific features, social proof

Structure:

1. Opening hook (1-2 sentences) - What problem do you solve?
2. Key benefits (2-3 sentences) - Why should someone care?
3. Features (3-5 bullet-style lines) - What can they do?
4. Call to action (1 sentence) - Download now

Weak: "This app has many features. You can add tasks. You can organize them into lists. You can set due dates. You can get reminders. It is very useful. Download now."

Strong: "Done replaces scattered notes with a single, elegant system. Capture tasks in seconds, organize with natural tags, and get intelligent reminders when it matters. No subscription required. Download now."
