You can hook into Focus changes with Shortcuts, so another great reason to build in Shortcuts support into your apps.

Take a look at https://docs.fastlane.tools/actions/deliver/ this tool helps you update metadata in App Store Connect all localisations at once. Also handy for updates in the future. Not only the text meta data but also your localised screenshots.

In git?

You have the possibility every time you update your app to reset the ratings and reviews or keep them all.

Well with Activity Monitor you could off course check if a daemon is running. You could also check it with code, for example in the container app which you use to distribute the daemon. let runningApps = NSWorkspace.shared.runningApplications let isRunning = runningApps.contains { $0.bundleIdentifier == "your-daemon-bundle-id" }

You can use the same app name in all localisations when that app name is still available in that localisation. The error you see means the name you want in that particular localisation is already taken. In this case by an app on your account. Are you creating multiple apps in App Store Connect, one for each localisation? Because you can add multiple localisations to one app in ASC. Just checking..
