Create a new version

Versions in Marteso track your App Store metadata snapshots over time. Each version appears in the Versions section of the left sidebar. Clicking a version opens its detail view — showing the latest build, screenshots, and editable metadata fields for each locale.

Create a new version when you're preparing a new App Store release and want to draft updated metadata before pushing.

How versions are organized

The Versions sidebar section lists all your tracked versions with a badge showing their status (e.g., Live). Click a version in the sidebar to open its detail view. The detail view shows:

  • Version number and status — e.g., Version 1.0 · READY FOR SALE
  • Latest Build — the most recent IPA from your connected GitHub repository
  • Locale sections — one card per language (e.g., American English), each containing Screenshots and App Metadata fields

Step 1 — Create the version

  1. In the left sidebar, click the + button next to Versions.
  2. A small form appears inline:
    • Version number — enter the version string that matches your App Store build (e.g., 1.1.0)
    • Release type — select Manual Release or the appropriate release strategy
  3. Click Create.

The new version appears in the sidebar list. Click it to open the detail view.

Step 2 — Edit metadata per locale

Within the version detail view, each locale has an App Metadata section with the following fields:

FieldNotes
App NameYour app's title — max 30 characters
SubtitleSecondary title shown in search results — max 30 characters
KeywordsComma-separated search terms — max 100 characters, no spaces after commas
DescriptionFull App Store description — max 4,000 characters

Click into any field to edit it. Fields are editable when the version is in a draft or editable state. A Read-only badge indicates the metadata is locked (typically when the version is already live on the App Store).

Step 3 — Review screenshots

The Screenshots section within each locale card shows the screenshots attached to that version from the latest build. The commit hash and branch are shown (e.g., 3cfec09 · main · en-US). Screenshots are automatically populated when a build completes via build automation.

Step 4 — Push to App Store Connect

When your metadata is ready:

  1. Click Push Metadata in the top-right corner of the version detail view.
  2. Marteso sends the updated metadata for all locales to App Store Connect.

Use the dropdown arrow next to Push Metadata for additional options such as syncing from App Store Connect.
