Hey, I am excited to announce that my native desktop client for the App Store Connect has passed the review in the Mac App Store.

This version is a one-time purchase and it’s called the Indie Edition.

The direct sale version named Team Edition is subscription based and can be downloaded from the official website: https://nativeconnect.app

If you’re an Apple developer, please check it out. Cheers!

I was waiting for this for some time on macOS when it was announced and I came close to buying this. As soon as I saw the lifetime purchase price, at that point I'm wasn't quite sure I would purchase it at that price as an individual yet.

If it were discounted on release, then yes I would have purchased this. If it also supported Google Play at its original price then I would have happily purchased this today (Not sure if it would go through Apple's review process) and if I were part of a iOS shop team, then I would still buy it.

No question that this looks like a stunning native app for App Store Connect that was missing on macOS. At its original price for an individual it looks slightly too expensive for now.

We believe this price is worth it if you “live” in the App Store Connect. Your feedback does matter however, thanks.

I'm definitely not the target market, but congrats for shipping. It's always good to see a proper native app.

I find it quite puzzling that Apple themselves never built this/similar and included it as part of Xcode though.

Thank you Stephen, much appreciated. Maybe they add something in Xcode 12!
