PreviewSmith can now create a release in App Store Connect, and write the copy that goes in it. • Create a release — bump the version in Xcode and PreviewSmith offers to create it in App Store Connect: how it's released, a date if it's scheduled, the copyright, and the languages to create it in, taken from the ones your project is built for. The version and platform come from the project, so they can't disagree with what you built. • Edit your App Store copy — the name, subtitle, promotional text, description, keywords, What's New and URLs are now editable, one language at a time, with a live count against each App Store Connect limit. Edited fields stay marked until you sync, a sync sends them, and anything you'd rather not send goes back to what App Store Connect last returned. Both are available while App Store Connect still accepts changes to a version: before you submit it, or after a rejection.
PreviewSmith now works with newer versions of Xcode • Updated Xcode support — Xcode changed how it grants another app access to your projects, and PreviewSmith now handles the new flow end to end. It asks Xcode to open your project, you approve it once, and the document is connected. The connection panel names the step it is waiting on, so an unapproved connection no longer looks like a stall. • Switch project — pick which open Xcode project a document acts on, from the connection panel, on either version of Xcode. • Builds before rendering — a preview can only render against build products, so refreshing the gallery now builds your project first, and shows its progress while it does. • Build errors in the gallery — when that build fails, the gallery lists the errors with file and line rather than coming back empty, and offers to open the project in Xcode.
Releases now get scoped to the locale you are viewing. • Language menu — pick a language at the top of any release. The screenshots below it, and everything you upload, belong to that language alone. • Release copy — read the description, keywords, promotional text and What's New, without leaving the app. • Localization coverage — the release checklist now compares the languages your project is built for and marks the gaps. • Tidier releases — previews, imported images and screenshots each collapse into their own section, and editing is limited to releases that still accept changes. • Fixed a crash when resizing a document window, and a window that could open too narrow to lay out its columns. • Fixed a bug with updating the helper to a new version
