To make your apps shareable, you can utilize several features and tools introduced at WWDC:
-
App Store Connect: The "Promote Your App" feature in App Store Connect allows you to generate marketing assets for your app's significant moments, such as launches or updates. You can easily share these assets on social media directly from your iPhone or iPad. If your app gets featured on the App Store, you'll receive a notification to generate a special marketing asset to celebrate the occasion. This feature helps in promoting your app on social media with visually appealing marketing materials. For more details, you can refer to the session What’s new in App Store Connect.
-
App Intents: By using the App Intents framework, you can make your app's entities transferable. This means you can convert and export your app's data into standardized formats like PDFs or images, which can then be shared with other apps or services. This is particularly useful for sharing content across different platforms and applications. For more information, check out the session What’s new in App Intents.
These tools and features provide a comprehensive approach to making your apps more shareable and discoverable, leveraging both social media and cross-platform data sharing.
