Breaking Down DevOps

Most teams find that mobile engineers aren’t deep in DevOps, and DevOps engineers aren’t fluent in iOS and Android specifics. In many organizations, DevOps professionals are proficient with general-purpose DevOps tools and tend to develop pipelines for backend technologies. DevOps teams set up the environment, but the mobile team is left to build its own pipeline. This forces them to spend time learning the DevOps tool instead of focusing on development. Appcircle, a mobile-first DevOps platform, closes this gap between teams.

Enterprises struggle with where to place and manage macOS build machines. Due to policy constraints, data centers often do not admit macOS systems; DMZ deployments are typically non-standard, and office-based Macs are ultimately administered by mobile engineering teams. Appcircle solves this with managed macOS build runners, so mobile teams avoid hardware management and increase their productivity.

Many platforms offer only limited functionality for tasks such as building and publishing apps to app stores. Appcircle covers the whole mobile app lifecycle with comprehensive modules for Build , Signing Identities, Testing Distribution, Enterprise App Store, and Publish to Stores to fully address your needs. Its modular architecture lets you license only the components you need. Each module works independently, optimizing workflows without overhead and enabling seamless expansion as requirements grow.

Creating pipelines for mobile projects in other DevOps tools is complex and slow, requiring manual setup, significant time, and specialized expertise. Appcircle solves this with an out-of-the-box solution built specifically for mobile. You get ready-to-use integrations, and always up-to-date mobile development stacks, including native frameworks (Objective-C/Swift, Java/Kotlin) and cross-platform frameworks (React Native, Flutter). Combined with robust continuous testing support, this keeps your development process fast and pain-free.

Eliminate the need for a separate tool just for app distribution. Quickly and securely distribute binaries to testers or employees with Appcircle’s Testing Distribution and Enterprise App Store modules. You can auto-share new builds or trigger distribution on demand, helping teams release higher-quality apps faster. Plus, ensure secure and seamless access with SSO/LDAP integration.

Automate app store releases and manage submissions to App Store, Google Play, Huawei AppGallery, Microsoft Intune, and TestFlight from a single dashboard. No need to switch between different store platforms like App Store Connect or Google Play Console. Customize publish flows with drag-and-drop design and custom script support. Automate metadata updates and re-signing , keeping everything transparent with detailed activity logs and access controls.

Every enterprise is unique and may require different deployment models, such as Public Cloud, Private Cloud, Hybrid Cloud, or on-premise solutions. Appcircle addresses these needs with a portable, container-based architecture that aligns with your specific deployment strategy. Whether you choose to deploy on GCP Public Cloud, on-premise, or through private listings on the AWS and Microsoft Azure Marketplaces, Appcircle is designed to meet your requirements.
