Hey everyone!

If you localize your iOS or macOS apps, you know how tedious App Store Connect can be when pushing updates. Cycling through 10 to 15+ languages just to paste a minor change into "What's New," "Promotional Text" usually turns into a massive click-and-paste marathon.

Unless there is a hidden feature in App Store Connect that handles this natively (and if there is, please let me know!), I couldn't find a clean way around it. Not even an MCP! So I built a Chrome extension called App Store Connect Metadata Filler to automate it. I wanted a complete free alternative.

What it does:

• One-Click Apply: Fills out Promotional Text, Description, What's New, and Keywords across all active language tabs at once.
• React-Aware: It interacts with Apple's frontend elements correctly so it doesn't break the form state when you hit save.
• Fetch Previous Version: Automatically jumps to your last "Ready for Distribution" page, grabs the existing localized strings, and brings them back to your current in-flight version.
• Save/Export Configs: Keeps your translation configurations saved locally as JSON so you can reuse or tweak them next month.
• Private: No external APIs or trackers. Everything stays in your browser's local storage.

It is completely free, dependency-free (plain Manifest V3 JavaScript), and open source so anyone can audit the code or check out how the background scraping script works.

Hopefully, this saves some of you a bit of manual labour on your next release. Let me know if you run into any edge cases or if Apple changes their UI layout... this is major weakness of the chrome extension ~_^

Hey!

Before anything else, since the last milestone there was a tragedy in the family and I had to step away for a while. Things went quiet because of it. I'm in a better place now and back at it, though I'll be honest the pace will probably be a bit slower than it was in the beginning.

TL;DR: The re-read of the Well of Ascension is complete, so the whole Book 2 timeline is in other words "quite" airtight now. I also added chapter-level spoiler gating (landmarks and lore stay hidden until you've actually read that far). And now I've started the re-read of the Hero of Ages.

Earlier posts

If you missed the earlier posts — first post, milestone 1, milestone 2, milestone 3 and milestone 4. I'm building an interactive timeline map for the Mistborn Trilogy Era 1 with character tracking, spoiler protection, and explorable city maps on top of Isaac Stewart's official cartography.

What's new since last time

The big one is that the Well of Ascension re-read is finished. Same as with the First Empire, I went through the whole book chapter by chapter, combining the notes from coppermind.net with my own Google Keep notes while reading.

SPOILER! Do not click the below without having finished WoA

>!All six tracked characters — Vin, Elend, Sazed, Spook, Marsh and Kelsier — are now placed and moving correctly from the opening siege all the way through the Epilogue. The siege of Luthadel is mapped gate by gate now (Breeze and Clubs at the Zinc Gate, Tindwyl at the Tin Gate, Sazed holding the Steel Gate where Vin comes to save him), the journey north to the Well is plotted along the canal road instead of just guessed at, and the Epilogue is split properly between Sazed at the Conventical and Vin and Elend up on the city wall.!<

>!I also added chapter-level spoiler gating this time. Before, things were hidden based on which book you were on, but now individual landmarks and lore can stay hidden until the exact chapter where they're revealed. For example the Well of Ascension itself doesn't show up on the Luthadel city map until the chapter where Vin realises it's been under Kredik Shaw the whole time, and the Pits of Hathsin show a spoiler-free description until you've read far enough into the Final Empire. It only kicks in while spoiler protection is on, so if you flip spoilers off you still see everything.!<

I went back over it a couple of times to catch mistakes — a few placements were off (a wrong gate here, an epilogue scene there) and those are fixed against the text now. As always, I'm only human, so if you spot something that looks wrong, don't hesitate to reach out or open a ticket ^(.)

On a personal note — I really enjoyed this re-read too. Picked up on a bunch of little things I missed the first time around.

What's next

The Well of Ascension is done, so now I'm onto the re-read of the Hero of Ages to get that timeline complete and airtight as well. I'll post another thread here when that one's finished, and keep posting smaller updates on the project's main site along the way.
