    Hi,

    As an attempt to learn Swift and native iOS development I've made a small application that fetches data from the Unity Asset Store and shows the last 24h deal.

    The app uses public data available on a JSON that loads with the website (no scraping) and only takes one request a day and stores data in the cache, so it doesn't need to be loaded again for the notification center and the watch glance (yes, I also made a small native Apple Watch app).

    It's a tiny app that I find very handy since I buy a lot of packages on the Asset Store. Some friends of mine asked if they can download the app and I'm here to ask the authorization to publish it on the App Store.

    It will be free and I will specify that is an unofficial app, it will only show text data and some images so every other action has to be done on the official website. It will have a link for the download, not tracked and without affiliations or something like that, just a plain simple link.

    Also I wanted to ask you if I can put the "Unity" name for the app or just use the "asset store" name, and if I can use the official Unity logo for the icon (I already read the guidelines of course).

    Thank you for taking time to read through here, I'll post some screenshots below, please let me know what you think of it.

    Regards.

    1. $ symbol goes before the number.

    Quite a few apps already do that. Something like "Unity Daily Deals" should work.

    Under no circumstances. Although a few other apps do that too, Unity just seems too lazy to actually ban them from the stores.

    Happy to hear you are a big fan of the Asset Store :)
    "Unofficial Unity Asset store 24H sale notification app" or something along those lines would be fine to use.
    Please do not use our official logo for the icon as it might confuse our users.
    Good luck with the app!

    Hi,

    Thanks for the feedback and sorry for the late posting,

    I've completed the app with all the suggestions I got from here. The app will be called "Unofficial Unity Asset Store Deals". It will be sent to Apple when they will open submission for iOS9 apps. As I said it will also be a native Apple Watch app (instant loading).

    I'll put some screenshots below. Please let me know what you think of it :)
