Generate

Generate (Command-G) renders every device, language and screen. The menu next to it renders only the screen shown (Shift-Command-G) and opens the last run: what changed, what was skipped, and the log.

Every file is an opaque PNG at the exact pixel size the store accepts, and its size is checked before it is written. A screen whose inputs (copy, capture, art, layout, fonts) have not changed since the last run is skipped (--force renders it anyway).

fastlane/screenshots/<locale>/                 iOS, uploaded by fastlane deliver
fastlane/metadata/android/<locale>/images/     Google Play, uploaded by fastlane supply
store/generated/sets/<page>/<locale>/          custom product pages and tests
store/generated/duo/<locale>/                  iPhone Duo
store/generated/events/                        in-app events

The tool records every file it writes in .store-shots-manifest.json. A full run deletes the files of the last run that are no longer planned (a screen you removed, a language you dropped), and only those: a file you put in fastlane/screenshots yourself is left alone. store-shots clean removes everything the tool wrote, by the same record.

Before it rendersCopy Anchor Link

Generate runs the same checks as the status at the foot of the canvas: text that overflows at its smallest allowed size, text over the device, missing glyphs, missing copy, missing captures. An error in one screen skips the files that need it; an error that touches everything, such as a broken config or a missing font, stops the run. With --strict, any error or warning stops it.

From the command lineCopy Anchor Link

store-shots generate                          # everything
store-shots generate --locale de-DE           # one language
store-shots generate --screen home,settings   # some screens
store-shots generate --target ipad-13-2064x2752
store-shots generate --set anxiety            # one custom product page or test
store-shots generate --dry-run                # the plan, nothing rendered
store-shots generate --force                  # re-render even unchanged screens

--json prints a summary a script can read. Exit codes: 0 ok, 1 validation or readiness failed, 2 usage or config error.

To look at a run as a whole, store-shots sheet writes one contact sheet per language and device into store/generated/sheets/.
