Edit your live listing in Searvia and send only the changed fields to App Store Connect or Google Play.

About 4 minutes

What You Need

  • App Store Connect or Google Play connected (App Manager role, or Manage store presence)
  • Owner or Admin in Searvia
  1. 1

    Open the Publisher

    Project › Metadata › Publish to :store

    On the Metadata tab, Publish to App Store Connect (or Google Play) loads your live listing for the chosen localization.

  2. 2

    Edit

    Change the fields or click Load into publishing on a suggestion. Live listing check scores the text against the store rules as you type.

  3. 3

    Pick the Version (App Store)

    Searvia writes to the version in Prepare for Submission. If there is none, enter a New version number and Searvia creates it when you publish.

  4. 4

    Publish

    Click Publish changed fields. Nothing is written if the listing changed in the store since you loaded it; click Reload and try again.

  5. 5

    Submit

    On the App Store you still upload a build and submit the version for review in App Store Connect. On Google Play the change is sent for Google’s usual review.

What You Get

Metadata goes live without copy and paste, and the change shows up in Did your changes work? a week later.

  • What’s New can be translated to all other localizations and sent in one click (2 credits per language).
  • To add a localization that does not exist yet, tick “Create the localization in App Store Connect when publishing”. Screenshots are not copied.

Troubleshooting and Questions

Why are most fields locked?
There is no editable version, so only the promotional text can change now. Enter a new version number to publish the other fields.
