Is there some mechanism (like a web hook or an endpoint that I can poll) to know when my app becomes available on the Apple store?

I want to use this to trigger some other processes.

I have seen the iTunes api here, and I assume I can setup a script to poll this endpoint every hour or something for different regions that my app is available in, and I have also seen that the App store connect has an API, but I'm not sure if this will give me what I need.

Any ideas? Preferably a Web hook.

There is no official webhook from Apple. So the solution would properly be to use one of the methods you already linked to.

When that is said. I have created my own webhook, so I don't need to have a script polling on Apple's servers all the time.

When the state of your app change, Apple is sending out an email with the new state. I forward the email to an Email Worker on Cloudflare. This will look at the subject to determine what the new state is. Depending on the state I then either call my own API to run some other processes or sending a message to Slack.

I have been using it for some time now and it's a really cool solution
