This is pretty cool and I will try the plugin as soon as I can.

As for uploading screenshots/texts, I am not sure. My current process 
(which involves deploying to various stores - apple-amazon-play-etc), takes 
as input a directory layout with text files and images, structured per 
store / language / resolutions etc.

If I had to bake this into a plugin, I would probably appreciate something 
like

* take this directory/zip as source
* take this this format as input. E.g. 

%locale%/%type%/Screenshot%idx%.png 
or
PlayStore/Screenshot%idx%_%locale%_/%type%_.png 

or whatever the user wants to use to create his layout.

Note: I haven't looked at the Play API at all yet.
