Keep your apps live on the App Store and Google Play.

Stayshipped watches store requirements, reviews and crashes for every app you've published, puts what needs doing first at the top of one list, and writes the fix for your AI coding tool.

Store requirements

Target API levels, Xcode and SDK minimums, privacy manifests, billing library updates and policy dates, checked against each app's real build settings. Every rule links to Apple's or Google's own page.

Reviews and ratings

Reviews from both stores, translated, grouped into the handful of problems and requests they're actually about. Rating drops and spikes of one-star reviews get flagged the day they start.

Crashes

Android vitals crash and freeze rates against Google's thresholds, per release, and Apple's diagnostics where Apple provides them.

From an alert to a fix

  1. Step 1

    It tells you in plain English

    “Google Play will stop showing your app to people with newer phones unless it targets Android 15.” Technical detail is one click away.

  2. Step 2

    You get the fix as a task

    Steps for your framework, the files to change and how to check it worked, ready to paste into Claude Code or Cursor.

  3. Step 3

    Or your AI tool asks for it

    Connect the Stayshipped MCP server and ask: “Get my most urgent issue and fix it in this repo.”

  4. Step 4

    Stayshipped checks it worked

    After you release, the next sync confirms the fix and closes the issue. If the problem comes back, it reopens.
