App Agent Local Environment Setup [Windows]
What is App Agent?
Currently, there are two main features.
ASO Improvement:
ChatGPT writes app titles, descriptions, etc., via API, including multi-language support.
Creation of Release Notes:
ChatGPT writes release notes in the target language all at once via API.
Until about a year ago, I was manually copying and pasting release notes for multi-language support, so this is very helpful.
I recently introduced the following extension, but this feels like a superior version of it.
By the way, I was using this tool to bulk-copy "Fixed bug" notes just now.
What's Great About This Service
For those who have been manually copying and pasting app store descriptions generated by ChatGPT, or manually copying and pasting translations from DeepL for multi-language support...
This service automates those tasks and even supports ASO.
It's a service that can significantly reduce the amount of work done on the App Store.
It's truly wonderful, and they've released it as open source.
I'm looking forward to seeing how many hours I'll save thanks to this service!
For those who find environment setup, maintenance, and operation tedious, there is a paid plan.
It seems to be available in a cloud environment.
Steps (Windows)
It's exactly as written in this section. I'll explain the parts where I got stuck in detail while following the steps.
1. Clone the repository to your local machine
git clone https://github.com/ngo275/app-agent.git
2. Copy the environment variables in env.sample to .env and fill them in. Mainly enter the API keys etc. used for this service.
cd app-agent
cp .env.sample .env
Filling in the environment variables
GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID, GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET
RESEND_API_KEY
OPENAI_API_KEY
UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_URL, UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_TOKEN
Regarding the entry of DATABASE_URL
I made two mistakes here, which caused the following error when running yarn prisma migrate deploy later on.
- PostgreSQL was not installed on my PC.
- I forgot to create the database.
Error: P1001: Can't reach database server at `postgres`:`5432`
Install PostgreSQL
Start SQL shell (psql)
Press Enter through the prompts and enter the password you set during installation
Once in psql, enter the following command
CREATE DATABASE appagent;
Enter the following in .env
# Postgres DB
DATABASE_URL="postgresql://postgres:Enter_Password@localhost:5432/appagent?schema=public"
3. Install Packages
Installing yarn and node.js on a Windows PC
I'm including this just in case, as they weren't installed on my Windows PC.
■ yarn
■ node.js

Recommended Books for Learning Flutter
I have summarized my personal recommendations for starting app development with Flutter.
I think it's a good idea to read new books for free on Kindle Unlimited.
Recommended Books
If you are just starting out, you should avoid reading books written when Flutter was at version 1.x.
The reason is that since Flutter 2.x, a specification called null-safety was introduced, and the way of writing code has changed completely.
I started learning Flutter around the time 2.x was released, and I struggled quite a bit because the information I found was unreliable.
