App Store Connect for Developers Gains Refreshed UI, Feature Notifications and More

‌App Store‌ Connect 2.0 includes a refreshed UI throughout the app, as well as new capabilities. Developers are able to promote their apps by generating marketing assets for app launches, version updates, featured placements in the Today tab, and more.

These marketing assets that are generated for special moments can be shared on various social media channels for app promotion purposes.

‌App Store‌ Connect will also now send developers notifications when their app is featured in select placements on the Today tab, such as App of the Day or Game of the Day.

In addition to allowing for app management, ‌App Store‌ Connect also provides support for creating TestFlight betas, monitoring sales and trends, and responding to customer ratings and reviews.

Although an updated version for the Connect app is welcome, I'm much more looking forward to the day Apple finally fixes the speed of the whole underlaying system. App Store Connect is so extremely slow most of the time, it's quite a big annoyance for developers.

Pages already take quite some time to load, after that it's not unusual that you'l have to wait another 15 seconds (or more!) looking at loading spinners waiting for contents of lists, etc. Every internal database request appears to be taking ages to load. Slow loading content/lists means that it's currently "normal" that you'll need to spend minutes of loading time to simply get to the page you want on App Store Connect. Even with a very fast internet connection.

I just tested and this is still the case (on the web interface at least).

At least it works for you. I am always getting pages that never load, or images are missing, or some other problem. I try NOT to go to Apple's developer site if at all possible.

Might be useful if they offered a Mac version, but for some reason they do not, and the web version is (still) terrible.
