What changed on App Store connect regarding app store featuring?

In the session What’s new in App Store Connect, Apple introduced several new features to help developers get their apps featured on the App Store. One of the key changes is the introduction of "featuring nominations." This feature allows developers to submit plans for their app's upcoming content and enhancements to the App Store editorial team for consideration. Here are the main points:

1. Featuring Nominations: Developers can now create and manage featuring nominations within App Store Connect. These nominations allow developers to share upcoming plans for their app, including important details about new features or content they are introducing. Each submission is reviewed by the editorial team and considered for featuring on the App Store.

2. Simplified Screenshot Requirements: The number of required screenshots in App Store Connect has been reduced. Now, only one set of screenshots is required for iPhone and one set for iPad.

3. App Store Connect API Enhancements: The API now supports the Apple Developer Enterprise Program, providing access to provisioning and user management APIs. Additionally, developers can download app analytics reports, including 50 new reports on App Store engagement, downloads, sales, and app usage.

4. Promote Your App Feature: If an app gets featured, developers will receive a push notification and can generate and share special marketing assets to celebrate the occasion.
