The entire Google Play API in one CLI — plus AI-translated release notes from your git log. No Ruby. No browser. No ceremony.
Releases, vitals, reviews, subscriptions, purchases, reports, Managed Google Play, and more. Fastlane covers ~20. GPC covers everything.
gpc changelog generate --target play-store --locales auto --ai turns your git log into per-locale Play Store notes translated via your own Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, or Vercel AI Gateway key.
9 offline policy checks on your AAB before upload. Catches rejections before they happen. No other tool does this.
JSON output when piped. Semantic exit codes. Env var config. --dry-run on every write. Drop into any pipeline.
First publishing CLI to support the Play Custom App API. Publish private enterprise apps in 5 minutes via CI/CD instead of 2 hours in Play Console.
gpc status for a snapshot. gpc watch for real-time rollout monitoring with auto-halt on threshold breach. Exit code 6 for CI.
Every Android release is the same ritual: open the Play Console, upload your AAB, copy-paste release notes, pick a track, set the rollout percentage, click through confirmation screens. Fifteen minutes of clicking, every single time. And when you ship to 16 locales, the copy-paste ritual runs 16 times.
GPC covers the entire Google Play Developer API in one CLI. 217 endpoints. Plus a preflight compliance scanner that catches policy violations before you upload, and AI translation that turns your git log into localized "What's new" text in one command.
No Ruby. No browser. No ceremony.
