README is a short front page (about 120 lines) with one real visual per section; every former section moved
unchanged into docs/*.md with a docs/README.md index (journey, rejections, getting-started, commands, growth,
studios, store-art, listing-languages, api, skills, mcp, safety, faq, project). The site tells the same story on one
page: the teaser in the hero, real CLI output as text, the desktop app as a section with light/dark captures of eight
screens and the per-system downloads (desktop/latest.json); /desktop/ redirects to /#download. New capture tools:
tools/site-desktop-shots.ts (fixture-mode desktop frames) and tools/site-term-shots.ts (real CLI output as text and
WebP). tests/docs-links.test.ts checks README, docs and site links resolve.
confirm() prints 'declined: <reason>' and exits 3 whenever the answer is no or nobody can answer (not a
terminal without --yes, serve without the owner's dialog), so no command reports success after declining.
flow run stops at such a step with 'step N declined: <reason>' (status declined), never ok. flow run
--apply --yes passes --yes to write steps only; --yes without --apply is refused. Pitfall 24.
apple build and play build run build.prebuild (or apple.prebuild / play.prebuild) first, once per flow run;
--no-prebuild skips it, --dry only prints it. A Capacitor project's copied public/index.html must then be newer
than the last source commit and <webDir>/index.html, else the build stops (--allow-stale-web overrides). check
warns when stale without a prebuild; the build output and dry plan show the web bundle's sha256 and mtime.
The Capacitor project is also found in a monorepo (apps/native etc.); several ask for play.build.dir /
apple.build.*. Pitfall 23.
Google binds its session cookies to the device (Device Bound Session Credentials) and signs out
sessions whose cookies look stolen, which can sign the owner out of their real Chrome. The default is
now storebound's own profile per store; storebound starts Chrome itself (--user-data-dir,
--remote-debugging-port=0, no --enable-automation, navigator.webdriver false) and attaches over CDP.
--use-chrome-session google|apple is an explicit opt-in that warns. /signin/rejected is said plainly.
- aso competitors: top apps per keyword from the iTunes Search API (name, developer,
rating count, release / update dates, localized genre), coverage gaps (words of 2+
developers), new entrants vs the last snapshot (.storebound/aso/competitors/)
- aso suggest: candidates from own text, competitor names, localized category names and
Apple Ads keyword suggestions (POST /v1/suggestions/keywords/query, relative 0-100
popularity, only with credentials); 100-byte keyword field per locale as a diff,
--write marks it a draft that check --aso and aso audit report
- aso audit: check --aso, free keyword room, rank trend arrows, gaps, Play short
description / density, App Store conversion, PPO / Play experiment ideas, next 3 actions
- MCP: read-only aso_competitors, aso_suggest, aso_audit; desktop ASO card (visx rank chart)
- docs: README, aso-basics, store-pitfalls (Search API order, no Play search API), CHANGELOG;
demo-app listing files; tests on recorded Search API and mocked Ads answers
Web capture runs frames in parallel browser contexts (default from the CPU count, lower for GPU-heavy capture),
logs n/total + ETA and goto / waitFor / eval / delay / screenshot per frame, writes .storebound/capture-report.json
with the slowest frames and steps. shots.capture.session 'per-language' boots the app once per language and device
and switches shots via pushState / popstate (navigate 'spa') or goto (navigate 'reload'), falling back to a fresh
page when a precondition fails. .storebound/capture-cache.json skips frames with unchanged inputs; --only-missing,
--force. shots render renders with --concurrency pages and async ffmpeg.
Lilita One lacks most of Latin Extended-A (Turkish s-cedilla, g-breve, dotted I ...), so Turkish titles were drawn
with a silent browser fallback while shots check passed. shots fonts now reads the cmap of every face (pure TS,
TTF/OTF/WOFF/WOFF2), adds a Noto fallback per missing character or fails with language + characters; render
measures which face drew each character (CDP probes) and records it in report.json; check errors on fallbacks the
config did not choose (shots.fonts.fallback) and on system-font glyphs. Default game title font: Paytone One.
Navigation after sign-in (navPlan + navigate): App Store Connect Apps > + > New App
(EN/TR), App Privacy by /apps/<appId>/distribution/privacy or the app list, Play app
list by package name > Policy and programs > App content > Start / Manage. Every
navigation click goes through navClick: the click gate stays absolute, only a link
named exactly Start / Manage / Başla / Yönet passes. Each step is logged; a step not
found in time or two matching apps -> the printed steps and wait (no crash).
The TR gate now refuses "uygula" (apply) but not "uygulama" (app).
Browser (cli/console/session.ts): attach to a Chrome with remote debugging (--cdp or
DevToolsActivePort), else on macOS a temporary profile with only Local State and the
profile's Cookies filtered to the console hosts, opened in real Chrome and deleted at
the end, else storebound's own profile (--fresh-profile). Cookies are never printed.
Desktop: fresh_profile option, the dialog says it uses the Chrome sign-in.
Tests: navigation fixtures (ASC EN/TR, Play list, App content, missing step,
duplicates, deny-listed decoys), session file selection, host filter, cleanup, and a
real-Chrome copy-mode test on a throwaway profile and a local site.
Conflict in cli/lib/config.ts (play section): kept play.build from main and the new targetAges, accountType, accountCreated and billingPrograms. Adapters and API tables regenerated (unchanged).
Conflicts resolved for both sides:
- cli/lib/plist.ts, cli/lib/zip.ts: one implementation each. plist reads XML (text or
bytes, attributes tolerated) and binary plists; ads scan now reads bytes, so a binary
Info.plist works too. zip gains unzip() for the Play report exports on top of
zipEntries / zipRead.
- apple upload waits with testflight wait's loop (waitForBuild) instead of its own copy;
BUILD_DONE removed.
- config, credentials (profiles, keystore, ASC_VENDOR_NUMBER, now also a profile key),
command table, MCP tools, credentials template, README, CHANGELOG: union.
- MCP: --write stays forbidden; the three pull tools are the listed local-file exception
(LOCAL_WRITE_TOOLS), so scan --write remains unreachable.
- Adapters and API coverage tables regenerated.
Play rules verified against the live Policy Center / Play Console Help pages
(checked 2026-10-11, cited in cli/lib/scan/play-rules.ts): restricted
permissions and their declarations (background location, photo / video, All
files access, AccessibilityService, REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES, Health Connect,
full-screen intent, VpnService), prominent disclosure and the in-app privacy
policy, Data safety vs SDK disclosures, Families (certified ad SDKs, AD_ID,
location), AD_ID on targetSdk 33+, 16 KB page sizes (Unity, React Native, NDK,
AGP, prebuilt .so), testing for new personal accounts, Play metadata, ads at
launch, payments outside Play Billing, impersonation. Detection reads manifest
components, accessibility configs, strings.xml, native toolchain versions and a
local build's merged manifest. New fixtures and tests; README table per store.
- apple testflight wait --build N (progress, timeout, exit 0/1/7) and expire --keep N | --older-than D (dry run, asks)
- apple iap-submit: IAP / subscription / group versions into a review submission; first of a type only with the app
version (--with-version), --no-submit keeps the draft; read-only MCP plan

- whats-new --languages / check / apply: one file per language, agent or hook translation, per-store limits
- apple offer-codes, win-back, promoted, preorder; Play pre-registration as a guide (no API)
- apple cpp and apple events: list, create, upload, submit (asks)
- reports: Apple sales / finance, Play earnings / sales into .storebound/reports with summary and CSV
- triage: TestFlight crash / feedback and Play error reports grouped by signature, device, OS
- aso rank: iTunes Search API ranks and competitors, rate limited
- ads scan: AdAttributionKit / SKAdNetwork Info.plist and source checks
- tests against recorded, sanitized answers; skills, README, CHANGELOG
apple signing status|ensure: bundle id capabilities, a distribution certificate from a key made locally (kept in .storebound/signing, never printed), App Store profiles installed for Xcode; Developer ID 403 explained.
apple build / apple upload: xcodebuild archive + export with a generated ExportOptions.plist, next build number, App Store Connect API build upload (or altool), processing wait. Native, Capacitor, React Native, Flutter, Unity projects.
play build / play upload: Gradle bundleRelease with the upload key passed through the environment, next versionCode read back from the AAB, testing tracks only.
originality: offline Guideline 4.3 check (name, listing text, icon and screenshot perceptual hashes, project structure).
New skill build-and-sign; zero new dependencies.
- specs/: Apple's App Store Connect OpenAPI 4.5.1 and the Google discovery docs for androidpublisher v3 and
playdeveloperreporting v1beta1, pinned with URL, date and SHA-256 (specs/SOURCES.json)
- tools/gen-api.ts: one row per operation (cli/api/apple.gen.ts 1303, cli/api/play.gen.ts 170), a scan of which
operations the commands already call (cli/api/wrapped.gen.ts) and docs/api-coverage.md; CI checks freshness
- cli/api/client.ts + types.ts: generic URL / parameter building, retries with Retry-After, pagination, types derived
from the rows; auth reuses ascJwt and the Play service account
- cli/api/gate.ts: GET runs, writes dry unless --yes in a TTY, owner-only operations need the id typed, nothing
written under MCP or serve; MCP gets the read-only api_get
- storebound api list | coverage | apple|play <op|METHOD path>; skill store-api, README, CHANGELOG, tests
- storebound.workspace.json: app folders (globs), studios with accounts by credential profile, ignore list, the
desktop's pairing overrides; ws init | list | status | check | validate | run | apps import | desktop export/import
- credential profiles in ~/.storebound/credentials/<profile>.json or env, --account <profile> on any command
- release status / release plan <version>, table or --json; MCP workspace_list, workspace_status, release_status,
release_plan (read-only)
- pairing rules (cli/lib/identity.ts), release lanes (cli/lib/train.ts) and the per-app status read
(cli/lib/app-status.ts) shared with the desktop instead of copied
- tests with sanitized fixtures, README, skills, CHANGELOG
Detects the stack (native iOS / Android, React Native, Expo, Capacitor, Cordova,
Flutter, Unity, Godot) and the SDKs from a maintained table with versions,
file:line and each vendor's disclosure page, then reports App Store and Google
Play rejection risks with guideline, evidence, fix, severity and skill: 2.1(a)
demo account and placeholder text, 5.1.1(v) account deletion, 4.8 login
services, 3.1.1 restore and outside payments, 3.1.2 subscription info, 5.1.2(i)
ATT, purpose strings, privacy link, privacy manifest, 2.3.10, 2.3.7, 2.3.8, 4.2
web wrappers, 2.5.1, 2.5.5, ATS, export compliance, 1.3 kids ads, review
prompts, privacy labels vs SDKs; Play target SDK 36, delete-account URL, App
access, foreground services, exact alarms, QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES, SMS / call log,
com.example package name.
Proposes Data safety / App Privacy / ATT / privacy manifest answers (detected
file:line or ask owner) as a diff against the config; --write adds only the
detected ones. scan.ignore records owner-accepted findings. MCP tool scan
(read-only), validate includes open findings, desktop Checks tab shows them.
Fixtures for iOS, Android, Capacitor, Unity, Flutter, clean and teaser.
