App Store Metadata Template

This template is for the normal public App Store release of Frog City Feast. The machine-readable copy is in tools/app-store-metadata.json, and the project check enforces Apple’s current name, subtitle, promotional text, description, and keyword limits.

The release owner supplied the public listing choices and authorized metadata entry. The protected metadata workflow can apply the API-supported fields without uploading a build, selecting a build, submitting for review, or releasing the app. App Review contact information is stored only in protected GitHub environment secrets and is never committed or printed.

Product-page copy

Subtitle

Eat, grow, explore forever

Promotional text

A mischievous frog, a storybook city, and an endless appetite. Explore changing districts, grow enormous, and uncover Starfall Quarter.

Description

Leap into a layered storybook city where everything looks tempting.

Guide a mischievous frog through streets, shops, rooftops, sewers, parks, and an ever-growing ring of new districts. Use a quick tongue to catch treats, objects, vehicles, building pieces, and cartoon pursuers. Digest your haul to score points and grow from a small snack hunter into an enormous landmark-munching frog.

EXPLORE YOUR WAY

Tap to move, aim your tongue, rotate the camera, and choose when to end each score run.

Discover enterable buildings, hidden rooms, changing weather, festivals, and Starfall Quarter.

Fill a 49-entry Field Guide, collect story postcards, complete goals, and unlock playful powers.

Manage swallowed finds in the Belly: digest them for points or spit them safely back into the city.

Continue each run in a deterministic city that expands as you explore.

PLAY YOUR WAY

Adjustable Master, music & ambience, and effects volume.

Reduce Motion and Larger Text & Controls.

Standard, Relaxed, and Hold Assist input timing.

Camera sensitivity, auto-alignment, reset, optional haptics, and a left-handed HUD.

Replayable illustrated onboarding with color-safe cues.

Frog City Feast is a single-player, offline game. It has no ads, no in-app purchases, no account requirement, and no data collection.

What's New is not shown for the first App Store version. Write version- specific release notes for later updates rather than adding placeholder text to version 1.0.

Category recommendation

Primary category: Games
Primary Games subcategory: Casual
Secondary Games subcategory: Adventure
Do not select the Kids category. The game is approachable and has no online features, but its central loop contains frequent cartoon eating, pursuit, damage, and destruction. The ordinary age-rating questionnaire is the accurate route.

App Privacy response

Select No, we do not collect data from this app, producing the No Data Collected product-page label.

This answer is accurate for the reviewed build:

no account, login, backend, network request, analytics, advertising, tracking, third-party SDK, or in-app purchase code;
no camera, microphone, photo library, contacts, location, Bluetooth, or push notification use;
player-entered local profile names, progress, scores, audio settings, and accessibility settings remain in the app sandbox and are not transmitted;
Godot’s required-reason declarations cover app-container file timestamps, elapsed-time measurement, and disk-space checks; they do not collect data; and
privacy/tracking_enabled=false remains pinned in the iOS export preset.

The privacy policy URL is still required even when the App Privacy answer is No Data Collected. The completed policy is published at https://chdafni-msft.github.io/FrogCityFeast/privacy/.

Age-rating questionnaire inputs

Apple’s current system uses 4+, 9+, 13+, 16+, and 18+ ratings and calculates a regional result from the submitted questionnaire. Enter the following answers truthfully; do not lower an answer to make an under-13 Apple Account eligible.

Questionnaire topic	Input	Basis
Parental controls or age assurance	No	The app has no gated online or social capability.
Unrestricted web access	No	There is no browser or external link inside the app.
User-generated content	No	Players cannot publish or exchange content.
Social media	No	There are no feeds, sharing, likes, or social discovery.
Messaging or chat	No	The game is offline and single-player.
Advertising	No	No ad network or promotional inventory is integrated.
In-app purchases	No	The App ID’s immutable purchase capability is unused; there is no StoreKit code, product, or purchase UI.
Loot boxes, gambling, or contests	None	Random world generation does not award purchased or wagered items.
Medical or wellness topics	None	The game provides no health information or advice.
Profanity or crude humor	None	The authored text contains neither.
Alcohol, tobacco, or drug references	None	The authored content contains neither.
Sexual content or nudity	None	The authored content contains neither.
Fear or horror themes	None	Pursuit is whimsical rather than horror presentation.
Realistic or graphic violence	None	There is no blood, injury detail, death, or realistic violence.
Cartoon or fantasy violence	Frequent	Eating cartoon living targets, resisting pursuers, taking bounded damage, and destroying stylized buildings are recurring gameplay.
Guns or conventional weapons	None	There are no guns, blades, or realistic weapons; nets, flashlights, roadblocks, and sticky patches are non-graphic chase hazards.
AI assistants or chatbots	No	No generative or conversational AI runs in the app.

Do not state a final age rating in marketing copy until App Store Connect calculates it. The frequent cartoon/fantasy violence response may produce a rating that prevents installation by the target under-13 Apple Account. If it does, accept Apple’s restriction; do not falsify the questionnaire or bypass Family controls.

App Review notes

Use this draft after replacing bracketed release values:

Frog City Feast is a fully offline, single-player iPad game with no login, account, network service, ads, analytics, or purchases. On first launch, enter any local profile name or use the default name, then choose Start New Game. The illustrated tutorial can be completed, skipped, or replayed from the player-selection menu. The top-bar action opens the score epilogue when outdoors and becomes Exit Room inside connected rooms.

The frog catches and swallows stylized cartoon targets, including harmless living characters and pursuers, without blood, death, or injury detail. Player-entered profile names, progress, scores, and settings are stored only in the app sandbox. The App ID has Apple’s immutable In-App Purchase feature, but this build contains no StoreKit integration, products, purchase UI, or paid digital content.

Build version: [VERSION] ([BUILD]). Test device: iPad in landscape.

No demo account, external hardware, backend availability, or reviewer credential is required.

Protected metadata synchronization

The manual App Store metadata sync workflow applies the API-supported fields from tools/app-store-metadata.json to the existing App Store Connect app and version. It is restricted to main, pinned to version 0.1.0, and requires the protected app-store approval followed by the protected testflight credential approval. Despite the historical environment name, it does not use TestFlight and references only the App Store Connect API key secrets.

The workflow may create the editable iOS 0.1.0 version if it does not exist. It then applies:

app name, subtitle, privacy policy URL, and primary language;
description, keywords, promotional text, support URL, and blank marketing URL;
Games category with Casual and Adventure subcategories;
copyright and manual release mode; and
the reviewed age-rating declaration, including frequent cartoon or fantasy violence.

It does not upload or select a build, submit for review, release the app, or publish an artifact. Apple’s API does not expose the App Privacy questionnaire through the downloaded specification. Apple also rejects primary-locale and content-rights updates on the existing app record even though those attributes remain present in the current OpenAPI update schema. Pricing, storefront availability, EU DSA status, App Privacy, content rights, screenshots, and App Review contact therefore remain separately confirmed in App Store Connect unless a permitted workflow is added and reviewed.

Screenshot plan

Provide 1 to 10 screenshots. The app is iPad-only and landscape-only. Capture the current highest-resolution 13-inch iPad set at 2752 x 2064 pixels in PNG or JPEG without transparency, then confirm the dimensions in App Store Connect immediately before upload because Apple can revise accepted sizes.

Use final release presentation only. Do not show --perf-overlay, test data, editor chrome, debug labels, signing information, or placeholder support details.

Recommended seven-image sequence:

Storybook city overview with the frog, targets, landmarks, and readable HUD.
Tongue catch with visible accuracy and non-color feedback.
Large or Enormous growth during a whimsical pursuit.
An enterable interior or rooftop with weather or festival activity outside.
The Belly as its own screenshot.
The paginated Guide/Journal as its own screenshot.
Accessibility Options showing timing assistance, Reduce Motion, larger controls, camera assistance, haptics, and left-handed HUD support.

Visual review remains deferred until publication. Capture one final coherent set from the authorized release build; do not create an iterative review loop. The deterministic source, Windows command, output policy, and objective checks are documented in app-store-screenshots.md.

Official reference: Upload app previews and screenshots.

Availability recommendation

Select all available public storefronts except China mainland. The release owner selected EU Digital Services Act non-trader status. Keep China mainland excluded unless the release owner later obtains and verifies the required game approval number and publishing information.
