FEATURE - What's New Screen

[mikaelacaron]

Describe the feature you want the app to have that it currently doesn't

• Add a new section to the settings tab (before the appearance section) called "Updates" and the row is called "what's new"
• Show markdown file of the updates for each version

  
  # v1.2

• list of updates
• list of stuff

v1.2

• list of updates
• list of stuff

Describe alternatives you've considered

• Possibly fetching JSON that's stored in GitHub? (So that it can be updated in GitHub, and we don't have to push a new App Store update for each? (But this isn't super important, cause a new App Store version will be deployed, and changes to the md file can be made then)

Additional context

• You can grab the the previous version updates from the App Store, and tag me in a comment to ask me about the Hacktoberfest updates (for the new version after Oct 2022)

Would love to give this a try.

[SuzGupta]

The initial changes to the Settings view are trivial (already done as shown in attached screencap) and I should be able to figure out how to show the new view as well, but I am less clear on how to get the information. Should I use the App Store Connect API as described here: https://www.avanderlee.com/swift/app-store-connect-api-adoption/?

[SuzGupta]

If using this API is the correct approach, a key needs to be generated within App Store Connect. This is explained in the SwiftLee article linked above.

@SuzGupta naaahhh just hard code a description!

[SuzGupta]

Whew, that sounds so much easier :D

[mikaelacaron]

@SuzGupta Yes! I don't care at all that it's not autoupdating, considering this app doesn't have constant updates at the moment!

Will this support multiple languages?

[mikaelacaron]

@le0zh0u that's a good point! I didn't think of how it would work
