Release 2.42 what's new content update

[dumathane]

Description

As the Veteran, I want all the app stores/pages to accurately reflect the most recent changes in the app so that I know what to expect before going into the app.

As part of this story we want to:

Determine what, if any, changes are needed to Apple, Google and VA.gov App Store pages

• App Store Whats New content(not applicable for VA.gov App Store)
• App Store images
• App Store app description needs updated

App Store What's New content changed to:

You can now view and download files from your claim in the app.

Link for content discussion.

Acceptance Criteria

• Create image for Apple Store for iPad
• Create image for Apple Store for iPhone
• Create image for Google Play Store for Android phone
• Create image for VA.gov app page using iPhone images
• Create new app description for Google Play Store
• Create new app description for Apple Store
• Create new app description for VA.gov app page
• Create new App Store Whats New description for Google Play Store
• Create new App Store Whats New description for Apple Store
• Sent Mobile.Va.Gov an email and Microsoft Teams communication with Mobile's update request
• Flagship PM to validate any app store (image, content) changes
• Update alt text for Va.gov app page

Notes

• All work to be done before the end of the sprint that the feature is going out
• Some parts have a longer lead time (Va.gov App Marketing Page) so please prepare accordingly
• Whats New In-App Alert box content is not included here as its not part of the app store - see separate ticket template "In-App Whats New Content - Feature Name - Release" ex 8833
• Any questions please reach out to Release Manager

Images

• Includes: iPad, iPhone and Android Phone (and a description image)
• Process for Updating the App Stores
• Historically - UX creates the images backed on this process then Flagship PM validates the images and then works with their FE to submit the PR to update the images
• Images should be the same across Google, Apple and Va.Gov
• UX to create a new folder with YYYY Mon and Feature in this Google Drive
• Note if new feature is added then may need to consider how we list them in the first image which contains a list of features "Use this app to:"
• Work is done outside of the Release Ticket process
• As of June 2024 - new images need to be compressed through something like ImageOptim per Tim before being added into the repo to remove any metadata that might be bloating the files
• Process doc for Update Va.Gov App Store

Content

• Inclues: App Store Whats New and App Description
• Content will create the test for Whats New App Store (if we do not want to use "We added general improvements and fixed a few bugs.")
• This change is required for the Release process - notify Release Manager change is coming and when its done

Va.Gov Marketing Page

• Its a VA Marketing Page that will need to be updated by Flagship PM and has its own process
• Images need to be stored in Images in Use Github folder as VA pulls images from here

Ticket Checklist

• Acceptance criteria defined
• Labels added (front-end, back-end, feature)
• Linked to an Epic
• Notify Mobile Release Manager at least 1 sprint ahead of implementation date
