What has shipped.
A running record of features, fixes, and infrastructure changes in the Appolar platform. Updated as things ship, not on a press schedule.
May 2026
18 new screens
Settings, Order Detail, Order Thanks, Notifications Inbox, Onboarding, Refer a Friend, Reviews, Collections, Recently Viewed, About, Contact, Policies, FAQ, Stories, Delete Account, and more. Every screen renders through the per-screen renderer pattern. Merchants get canonical defaults until the builder catches up with explicit controls for each one.
iOS Privacy Manifest and GDPR webhooks
iOS Privacy Manifest, App Privacy declarations (Data Safety), and complete GDPR compliance webhooks (shop/redact, customers/redact, customers/data_request). Apple App Store guideline 5.1.1(v) compliant account deletion flow, with the full deletion journey accessible from within the app.
TikTok Pixel
TikTok Pixel integration: ViewContent, AddToCart, InitiateCheckout, and PlaceAnOrder events dispatched through server-side relay. Matches Meta Pixel deduplication shape so merchants running both simultaneously get clean attribution.
Settings screen builder panel and legal group
Settings screen builder panel, complete Legal group (Privacy, Terms, Open Source Licenses), App Store Rate row, and Refer a Friend row. Builder now covers all 18 new screens added in this release.
One canonical implementation per component
Killed the 3-variant template pattern (Minimal, Bold, and Elegant as separate code paths). Every component now has one canonical implementation. Visual variation comes from theme tokens (colors, font, radius, spacing), not forked code. Starter presets are now pure config files, not code branches. This removes an entire class of synchronization bugs.
Klaviyo, Smile.io, and custom Reviews WebView
Three merchant integrations shipped end-to-end: Klaviyo email capture block (subscriber lists), Smile.io loyalty WebView, and custom Reviews WebView fallback. Each is a feature flag: invisible unless the merchant fills in the matching config value in the builder.
Short-lived Storefront tokens and kill switch
Storefront API tokens are no longer baked into binaries. Short-lived tokens (24-hour TTL) are minted at app launch and revoked on plan lapse. Lapsed merchants see a full-screen gate; a grace period shows a banner instead. Lifetime plan ($997 one-time) introduced. Per-build charge ($79) for Lifetime merchants on production builds.
App identity: bundle IDs and package names
App identity page in the builder: auto-generated bundle ID (com.appolar.[slug]), Android package name, and "Check availability" buttons. Bundle IDs are immutable after the first successful build to prevent store listing mismatches.
Full merchant journey from build to live store listing
Complete merchant journey: credential onboarding wizard (Apple and Google), credential validation against App Store Connect and Play APIs, bundle ID pre-conflict check, review-status polling (WAITING_FOR_REVIEW, IN_REVIEW, APPROVED, REJECTED, LIVE), rejection capture, fix-and-resubmit flow, and TestFlight-first toggle. Transactional emails for build-succeeded, rejection, approval, and Apple enrollment reminders.
Auto Design: GPT-4o config generation
Auto Design wand button runs GPT-4o against your Shopify store and returns a complete app config: palette, font, splash color, icon style, tabs, and home page blocks. One-click apply. The result is fully editable — it is a starting point, not a final decision.
EAS Build automation end-to-end
EAS Build automation is live end-to-end: build trigger from the admin, per-merchant app.json patching, and binary delivery to your App Store Connect and Play Console accounts. Fully automated. No manual steps on the Appolar side after you hit the build button.
Judge.me and Loox review adapters
Judge.me and Loox review adapters. Reviews display live on product pages using each provider's REST API. Merchants running either platform get product-level review counts and star ratings without any custom configuration beyond their existing API key.
Push notification campaigns
Push notification campaigns: compose, schedule, and send from the Appolar admin. Rich image support. Campaign history table. 60-second polling worker for scheduled sends. Device tokens are scoped per store, so your customers' devices receive only your store's notifications.
