Give me a ping when you believe this works in API. PR looks fine |
Fix bn→bn-BD, ur→ur-PK and update all new locales to their canonical App Store Connect locale codes (e.g. gu-IN, kn-IN, ml-IN, mr-IN, or-IN, pa-IN, sl-SI, ta-IN, te-IN) so deliver uploads succeed without locale validation errors. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <[email protected]>

I tested this locally and ran into an issue — the bare codes (bn, gu, etc.) get rejected by the ASC API with "The language specified is not listed for localization". I poked at one of my apps' existing locales via spaceship and ASC actually has them stored with regional suffixes:
Swapped those in for the bare codes and fastlane deliver happily pushed all 50 locales. Might be worth updating ALL_LANGUAGES (and the itc_locale values in languageMapping.json) to match. |

@Ryu0118 can this PR be updated and merged? If @ricsantos confirms that it is working with properly specified locales. |
Update itc_locale in languageMapping.json so that bn, gu, kn, ml, mr, or, pa, sl, ta, te, ur match their canonical locale values (bn-BD, gu-IN, kn-IN, ml-IN, mr-IN, or-IN, pa-IN, sl-SI, ta-IN, te-IN, ur-PK). This ensures the deprecated language-name input path in produce/itunes_connect.rb maps to a code accepted by App Store Connect, since `from_standard_to_itc_locale` is consumed by ConnectAPI::App.create via produce.

Any hints on how to run this branch locally? Our release is blocked without it… |
|
@iBotPeaches I verified end-to-end against the live ASC API on my own app. All 11 new locales (bn-BD, gu-IN, kn-IN, ml-IN, mr-IN, or-IN, pa-IN, sl-SI, ta-IN, te-IN, ur-PK) uploaded successfully via deliver. |

@biodranik point your Gemfile at this branch. gem "fastlane", git: "https://github.com/Ryu0118/fastlane.git", branch: "add-new-app-store-connect-locales"Then bundle install and run deliver as usual. |
|
I tested this branch, and it works with new locales. So this PR could have been merged a month ago with proper fixes... @lacostej PTAL This should be released ASAP after merging… |

Added Copilot who got confused that Apple is now transitioning to the region specific language codes, when previously they were all iso2 codes. Sounds like we've had a confirmed test, so this might be good to go. |

Summary
On March 31, 2026, Apple announced that App Store Connect now supports localized metadata for 11 new languages, bringing the total from 39 to 50 localizations.
This PR adds support for the following new locales:
itc_localelocale(BCP 47)bnbngugu-INknkn-INmlml-INmrmr-INoror-INpapa-INslsl-SItata-INtete-INururChanges

Note
As of April 6, 2026, the App Store Connect API backend may not yet accept these new locale codes (returns "The language specified is not listed for localization"), even though the web UI supports them. This is consistent with past language additions where the API lagged behind the UI. This PR prepares fastlane so it's ready once Apple's API backend catches up.
