Apple limits these keywords to 100 characters. Now, I don’t know about you, but I can count words up pretty quickly, but it seems no one has successfully been able to deliver me keywords that contain less than 100 characters. I usually don’t figure this out until I’m on the page in itunesconnect that asks me for them and I have to make a decision about what words to drop or adjust to get the app submitted. I created this simple utility to avoid finding out last minute.

This is a work in progress and as such there are no guarantees it will work for you. I don’t have a lot of free time and I whipped this up one afternoon while in between emails. It isn’t fancy and there are no bells or whistles. I find it handy in my day-to-day uploading of applications to Apple and maybe you will too. If anything is broken or you have feedback, please let me know in the comments.

Known Issues

- clicking in the second input box should select all text for easy copying. It doesn’t work in all browsers

- spaces on either side of commas are not stripped out resulting in an extra character. Just ran out of time.
