The Gulf storefronts are among the highest revenue-per-user markets outside Japan and the US, and they are chronically underserved because most tooling cannot render Arabic properly. An Arabic listing is a genuine differentiator rather than a checkbox, precisely because so few competitors ship one that looks right.

What breaks in Arabic
Arabic is the hardest script to render correctly and the one most screenshot tools get wrong. Letters change shape depending on their neighbours and join cursively, text runs right to left while embedded numbers run left to right, and letter spacing applied naively disconnects every word into isolated glyphs.
Letters join cursively and change shape by position, so per-letter spacing shatters the word
Bidirectional text: numbers and Latin brand names run left to right inside a right-to-left line
Wrapped lines must be reordered to visual order or the sentence reads backwards
Alignment, not just text direction, has to flip for the layout to read naturally

Describe your app, see your first set, then ask for Arabic. The layout survives the language change because you are editing the same set, not starting a new one.

Questions & Answers
Why do Arabic screenshots usually look broken?
Two failures stack. Arabic letters join cursively and change shape by position, so a renderer that applies letter spacing per character breaks every word into disconnected forms. Then bidirectional ordering reverses the run, so the sentence reads backwards. Getting Arabic right means handling both, not just setting the text direction.
Do numbers and brand names work inside Arabic captions?
They have to run left to right inside a right-to-left line, which is the bidirectional case that trips most tools. A caption like a rating out of five needs the numerals in their own left-to-right run while the surrounding words flow right to left.
Is Arabic worth the effort for an indie app?
The Gulf storefronts have high revenue per user and are underserved, largely because so much tooling renders Arabic badly. That makes a correct Arabic listing a real differentiator rather than a formality.
