📣 Reach iOS Developers
If you build a tool that solves a developer problem, I would love to help you reach iOS developers - hi@iosdev.tools🛠 Sponsor - Runway
Runway’s newest feature (Rollbacks) lets you undo a bad native app release with a single click. Cut out all the lead time needed to investigate and implement a fix, get builds compiled and uploaded, and make it through the store review process. Resolve critical issues in prod in an instant.
String Catalog Translator
String Catalog Translator revolutionizes the way developers handle localization in their Xcode projects. Seamlessly integrate with Apple's latest "String Catalog" files, leveraging the power of top-tier machine translation services. With its intuitive drag-and-drop interface, translating your .xcstrings files has never been easier or more efficient.
Why you will like it:
Supports more than 150 languages using Google, Microsoft, DeepL, and Yandex translation services.
Intelligently detects already translated Strings and only translates what’s not yet translated.
A clean, straightforward interface makes the app accessible for both beginners and experienced developers.
Properly handles new String Catalog features like "Vary by Device" for shorter texts on smaller screens.
Optionally you can let a native speaker review the translations as the app defaults to the state "Needs Review".
AppJournal
AppJournal provides indie app developers with a simple utility to record app milestones & changes.
Developed for Apple platform developers, you can use AppJournal to track when your app has been featured, changes youʼve made to metadata, awards won, prices changes and much more. Each entry supports multiple fields for recording multiple data types and the ability to set the date and add notes too.
Why you will like it:

Supports many metric types including the date an app was released, updates to metadata, when it was featured and price changes.
Available for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Vision Pro.

Territory
Territory adds the ability to switch storefronts on your device.
Developed for Apple platform developers, you can use Territory to switch App Store country/region on your device to see if your app has been featured in another store or where it ranks for specific keywords in that storefront.
