About This Automation

App store submission requires gathering version information, rewriting release notes for each platform, and manually uploading builds and metadata to multiple app stores. Manual tracking and daily status checks create delays and inconsistencies across iOS, Android, and web releases.

Automation reads release data from source control, generates platform-specific release notes respecting each store's requirements, submits builds and metadata via store APIs, and monitors approval status in real time.

Key features
Extract release notes and version data from source control automatically
Generate platform-specific release notes with correct formatting and character limits
Submit builds and metadata to iOS and Android app stores via API
Monitor approval status every 4 hours and detect rejections instantly
Send real-time notifications when releases are approved or rejected
Log all submission details and timestamps in a central tracking system

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Version Tag Createdtrigger

Automation is triggered when a new release tag is pushed to the repository. The tag name and commit metadata are captured automatically.

2. Extract Release Data

The automation reads the commit log, changelog file, and version number from the repository. Release notes are parsed and structured for processing.

3. Generate Platform-Specific Release Notes

The automation adapts the release notes for iOS App Store, Google Play, and web platforms, respecting character limits and formatting rules for each. the automation produces three versions ready for submission.

4. Create Submission Record

A new row is added to the release tracking sheet with version number, release date, platform details, and submission status. This becomes the single source of truth.

5. Send Submission Checklist

An email is sent to the release manager with the generated release notes, asset requirements, and a link to the tracking sheet. The manager reviews and approves before store submission.

6. Approve and Upload Assets

Release manager reviews the generated notes, uploads final screenshots and metadata to a shared folder, and confirms readiness. This human gate ensures quality before store submission.

7. Submit to App Stores

The automation uses store APIs to submit the app build, release notes, and metadata to iOS App Store Connect and Google Play Console. Both submissions are logged with timestamps.

8. Monitor Approval Status and Notify Team

The automation polls App Store Connect and Google Play Console every 4 hours for approval status. When approved or rejected, a notification is sent immediately with the status and any rejection details.
