The Publish to Apple News plugin does a decent job allowing WordPress users to easily distribute their content to Apple News. It provides an automated way to format and submit WordPress posts to the Apple News platform with just a few clicks. For bloggers looking to expand their reach, this plugin offers a seamless way to access Apple’s robust news reader audience.
I’m unable to select multiple post types. Only one post type at a time.

I can get some posts to publish automatically, but not all of them, which is frustrating.
