The Problem
Submitting an app for review is stressful. You check App Store Connect repeatedly, wondering if it's in review yet, hoping it won't be rejected. The wait is worse when you have a critical fix or a launch deadline.
The Solution
Yeethook catches the APP_STORE_VERSION_APP_VERSION_STATE_UPDATED webhook and delivers the status change to Slack the moment it happens:
- Waiting for Review — Your submission is in Apple's queue.
- In Review — Apple picked up your app. Fingers crossed.
- Approved — Ship it.
- Rejected — Check the rejection notes in App Store Connect.
Your whole team sees the update in Slack without anyone checking App Store Connect.
How to Set It Up
- Sign up at yeethook.com.
- Upload your p8 key for automatic webhook setup and enriched messages.
- Add your app from App Store Connect.
- Connect Slack — Route review events to
#releasesor#app-review.
Best Practices
- Route to your release channel: The entire team should know when a version is approved.
- Pair with build events: Also route
BUILD_UPLOAD_STATE_UPDATEDto track the complete pipeline from build upload to app approval. - Use enrichment: With a p8 key, the Slack message includes the version number, build number, and platform.
