Tools & Capabilities Breakdown

App Store & Google Play Tools (5)

stores_health

Report which stores are configured and whether their credentials work. Call this first when something returns nothing.

list_apps

Every app reachable with the configured credentials, from both stores. The App Store side is discovered automatically; the Play side comes from PLAY_PACKAGES, because the Play API cannot enumerate a developer's apps.

get_app

Details for a single app, found by App Store id, Play package name, or bundle id.

get_releases

What is live, what is in review, and what is mid-rollout — for one app or the whole portfolio. States are normalised across stores: 'live', 'in_review', 'pending_developer_release', 'rejected', 'draft', 'rolling_out', 'halted'. The store's own wording is kept in rawState. Reading Play tracks opens a temporary edit and deletes it again; nothing is committed.

get_reviews
