The App Store still shows the older interface and widget screens. This change replaces them with four dark compositions in English and Russian: Mia, Leo celebrating his birthday, Mango with Teddy’s phone behind, and the three widget sizes. The eight reviewed 1320 × 2868 PNGs are committed in marketing/app-store/screenshots; docs/app-store-screenshots-preview.html provides an offline preview. Smaller iPhones use Apple scaling, and this iPhone-only app needs no iPad set.

A macOS CI journey uses the real app on an existing iPhone 17 Pro Max running iOS 26.5. It enters the demo profiles, selects and crops the generated photos, saves them, verifies persistence, and captures the native birthday greeting and moving confetti. Widget crops use the extension’s actual view in the DEBUG harness; the surrounding Home Screen background is marketing artwork. Production fixes preserve readable widget link labels and restart birthday confetti on returning to a profile. The cancellation test now cancels its own operation deterministically.

A master-only manual workflow uses the existing protected Apple credentials to inspect inventory and prepare the next minor App Store draft, preserving EN/RU metadata. It verifies processing and order of both new screenshot sets before clearing inherited size-specific iPhone placements that would override scaling. Unrelated draft artwork blocks replacement. It uploads no binary and does not submit for review.

Validation: all 47 script tests pass. The capture source has passed macOS build/unit tests, iOS 18 and Liquid Glass UI journeys, and independent code and visual reviews. The final commit has green macOS build/unit, iOS 18 and Liquid Glass UI checks, a successful EN/RU capture, and inspected current-head evidence from scripts/pr-evidence.sh 54. Independent code and visual reviews report no findings. Native GitHub images render and the attached video plays. Final images retain exact reviewed CI hashes and capture provenance; app, photo, capture and compositor inputs are unchanged since that capture. Raw simulator artifacts stay outside the repository.

Visual acceptance

Reviewed commit: 9e7bf6ac78248394a7a440bfded514429ee4fdd2 · CI run · attempt 1

iPhone-17-Pro-Max / iOS 26-5 / Xcode 26.6

Independently inspected all eight English/Russian compositions and the real Leo animation. Photos were selected, cropped, saved and reopened through the app UI. The reviewed set shows Mia, Leo with moving birthday confetti and the native Liquid Glass greeting, Mango with Teddy’s phone peeking behind, and all three widget families with readable labels. All outputs are opaque RGB 1320 × 2868 PNGs.

The committed deliverables retain the exact hashes of the previously reviewed capture at f9fef06. That capture is an ancestor of this head with unchanged app/capture/photo/compositor/font inputs. This fresh current-head capture reproduces every frame; only Leo’s random particle positions differ. Widgets use the extension’s actual view in the DEBUG harness; the surrounding Home Screen background is marketing artwork.

Note

Add native Liquid Glass App Store screenshot capture and upload pipeline

Adds an opt-in UI test suite that captures English and Russian App Store screenshots from a real app run on an iPhone 17 Pro Max/iOS 26.5 simulator, using demo photos from docs/app-store-demo-photos.

  • The capture test AppStoreScreenshotTests.swift runs only when enabled via environment variables and records named checkpoints for people, the birthday transition, and all three widget sizes
  • render-app-store-screenshots.py composes the native captures into eight 1320x2868 marketing PNGs with device frames and localized copy; the committed outputs live in marketing/app-store/screenshots
  • app-store-metadata.py uploads verified screenshots to App Store Connect, with provenance checks that the capture commit is reviewed and unchanged
  • Two GitHub workflows run the capture on PRs and manual dispatch, and upload metadata from a reviewed master commit
  • Risk: the capture workflow requires a pre-existing iPhone 17 Pro Max simulator on iOS 26.5 and Xcode 26.6 — it fails if these are not present. Also, AppComposition.photoFixtures now throws on missing or corrupt capture images in capture mode

App Store screenshot workflow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Screenshot test harness
GrowingUp.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj, GrowingUp.xcodeproj/xcshareddata/xcschemes/GrowingUpUI.xcscheme, GrowingUp/Testing/*, GrowingUpUITests/AppStoreScreenshotTests.swift, GrowingUpUITests/BirthdayAndEditingTests.swift, GrowingUp/Presentation/PersonOverviewScene.swift, Widget/AgeWidgetContentView.swift, GrowingUpTests/Gateways/CachePersonsGatewayTests.swift
Adds an opt-in UI test for English and Russian captures, loads configured photo fixtures, and captures people and widget previews. The test verifies saved people, birthday transitions, and widget families. Related changes update overview ticking, widget link styles, swipe-based birthday testing, and cancellation-test timing.
Capture, validation, and composition
.github/workflows/app-store-screenshots.yml, scripts/run-app-store-screenshots.sh, scripts/render-app-store-screenshots.py, marketing/app-store/screenshots/source.json, marketing/fonts/*, docs/app-store-demo-photos/prompts.json, docs/app-store-screenshots.md, docs/app-store-screenshots-preview.html
Captures simulator evidence for both locales, checks test results and image dimensions, composes eight screenshots, and uploads reports and evidence. Adds capture metadata, font licensing information, photo prompts, workflow documentation, and a locale-switching preview page.
Capture evidence publication
scripts/pr-visual-evidence.py, scripts/tests/test_pr_visual_evidence.py
Allows the publisher to select the App Store capture workflow and requires successful capture, export, verification, and composition outcomes. Tests cover workflow selection and rejection of stale or unsuccessful run metadata.
App Store metadata inventory and upload
scripts/app-store-metadata.py, .github/workflows/app-store-metadata.yml, scripts/tests/test_app_store_metadata.py
Adds inventory and upload operations. Upload validates screenshot provenance and placement compatibility, prepares and verifies both locales, then removes other iPhone placement groups. The manual workflow checks the source commit and CI run, manages temporary credentials, and retains a receipt.
