StoreView For Mac

StoreView aims to help Mac developers to preview how would their applications look like in the Mac App Store before submitting the entries.

The StoreView utility can generate as many versions as you like, and is able to open multiple projects at the same time so that you can compare various characteristics right away.

The StoreView application relies on project files and opens a different window for each one: just manually input the metadata or download it from the Mac App Store for StoreView to create the preview page.

If your app is already published in the Mac App Store and you merely want to see how certain retouches would look like, just provide the respective link, and you will have the option to download the metadata and populate all the fields with a mouse click.

Otherwise, you must manually input the app name, version, marketing/support/privacy policy URL, category, rating, icons, screenshots, description, what’s new in the latest version, copyright message, seller information, or price.

StoreView relies on the user provided information to create a page that looks exactly the same as the MAS listing. What’s more, you will be able to interact with the page, expanding the text description, or switching between various screenshots.

The best part is that, since StoreView can have multiple windows and projects open at the same time, you are able to compare different versions and choose the best one.

The StoreView app provides support for quickly making duplicates and allows you to save projects using a proprietary file format, so you can review and edit the pages even further at a later time.

To conclude, StoreView simulates the Mac App Store and generates a page based on the metadata info provided by the user almost instantly.

Since making modifications to the Apple store submissions usually takes some time, making sure that everything is just right from the start can save one a lot of headaches.
