Command Line Automation for iTunes Connect

You can now use Transporter, Apple’s command-line delivery tool, to deliver App Store metadata localizations, in addition to In-App Purchase and Game Center metadata. This includes screenshots, rights and pricing, and In-App Purchase hosted content assets. Using Transporter allows you to integrate with your own content management system and deliver your app metadata in bulk. This process is especially useful for adding and managing localizations, which help maximize your global App Store exposure.

You can also use Transporter to look up and retrieve your existing app's metadata, in order to see an example of correctly formatted XML.

To learn more about App Store packages, including how to create them, see the updated App Metadata Specification document available for download from the Manage Your Apps module on iTunes Connect.

For more information about downloading and installing Transporter, see the Transporter User Guide, also available for download from the Manage Your Apps module on iTunes Connect.

J2ObjC supports most Java language and runtime features required by client-side application developers, including exceptions, inner and anonymous classes, generic types, threads and reflection. JUnit test translation and execution is also supported. J2ObjC is currently between alpha and beta quality. Several Google projects rely on it, but when new projects first start working with it, they usually find new bugs to be fixed. Apparently every Java developer has a slightly different way of using Java, and the tool hasn't translated all possib...

CFPropertyList

It offers functionality to easily convert data between worlds, e.g. recalculating timestamps from unix epoch to apple epoch and vice versa. A feature to automagically create (guess) the plist structure from a normal PHP data structure will help you dump your data to plist in no time. github
