# App Store Changelog ## Overview Generate a comprehensive, user-facing changelog from git history since the last tag, then translate commits into clear App Store release notes. ## Workflow ### 1) Collect changes - Run `scripts/collect_release_changes.sh` from the repo root to gather commits and touched files. - If needed, pass a specific tag or ref: `scripts/collect_release_changes.sh v1.2.3 HEAD`. - If no tags exist, the script falls back to full history. ### 2) Triage for user impact - Scan commits and files to identify user-visible changes. - Group changes by theme (New, Improved, Fixed) and deduplicate overlaps. - Drop internal-only work (build scripts, refactors, dependency bumps, CI). ### 3) Draft App Store notes - Write short, benefit-focused bullets for each user-facing change. - Use clear verbs and plain language; avoid internal jargon. - Prefer 5 to 10 bullets unless the user requests a different length. ### 4) Validate - Ensure every bullet maps back to a real change in the range. - Check for duplicates and overly technical wording. - Ask for clarification if any change is ambiguous or possibly internal-only. ## Output Format - Title (optional): "What’s New" or product name + version. - Bullet list only; one sentence per bullet. - Stick to storefront limits if the user provides one. ## Resources - `scripts/collect_release_changes.sh`: Collect commits and touched files since last tag. - `references/release-notes-guidelines.md`: Language, filtering, and QA rules for App Store notes.
