stuffmc / itc Goto Github PK

I'm always using the "Hold for Developer Release" method for my apps. Sadly, this is the one case where Apple won't send me an email to let me know :( So I had to be creative.

How to use this?
===============
First of all, you'll need "mechanize". Install with "gem install mechanize".

At the same level as itc.rb, you should have a file called "itc-pwd.rb" (or whatever, wherever, but then change the first "require") containing those lines: 

USERNAME = "foo"        ==> Your iTunes Connect Username
PASSWORD = "bar"        ==> Your iTunes Connect Password
APP      = "Disk Alarm" ==> This is the App we should check

You shouldn't -- in most case -- have to modify itc.rb

Now go in the Terminal, where itc.rb is and type

chmod u+x itc.rb

Now type "./itc.rb" which will launch the script in an endless loop. To quit the app, use "Ctrl C" twice.

The first time, the app will create a "YOUR APP.txt" file with the status ("Waiting for Review" for ex.)

As soon as this status changes, the app will display a message, make beeps, and speak the message.

It will *repeat* this in a loop ;-) until you break and restart the script. This is to ensure the "It's okay, I'll do something" factor! You basically start the script once per Status change.

PS: Obviously, this is a *very* basic solution, but for now, it's enough for me ;) Feel free to fork me!
