A command line tool that fetches released iOS and tvOS apps from the iTunes Search API and publishes in a Slack channel (if not published yet).

Apple id of the released app, it's the number in the App Store url of the app, for example in https://apps.apple.com/us/app/nebula/id1447033725, the Apple Id is 1447033725.

This tool current supports iOS and tvOS releases.

You need a Slack API bot that have the Bot Token Scopes:

• channels:read: to get the channel id from the specified name
• channels:history: to check if the messages was already posted to the channel
• chat:write: to post the message

A public existent channel where the bot has already joined

swift run recheck -a <app id> -p ios -t <slack bot token> -c <slack channel name>

This repository also provides a GitHub Action. This action requires a macOS host. Here is a sample workflow that offers a manual trigger and automatically checks hourly:

  schedule:
    - cron: '42 * * * *' # every hour at 42 minutes
  workflow_dispatch:

  recheck:
    name: 'Release Check'

    steps:
      - name: ReleaseCheck
        uses: diogot/[email protected] # Check the latest release available
        with:
          apple-id: ${{ vars.APPLE_ID }}
          platforms: 'iOS tvOS'
          slack-channel: ${{ vars.SLACK_CHANNEL }}
