Deploying

Abstract

Deploy your apps to simulators, test devices, or app stores with the help of Bitrise. You can use our Steps or Ship, our dedicated deployment solution.

Release Management

This section is about deploying apps via Bitrise Steps. For a more granular and fully customisable app release process, we recommend using Release Management.

Deploying an app on Bitrise means generating an installable binary and then either:

  • Install it on test devices.

  • Upload it to bitrise.io.

  • Deploy it to a simulator.

  • Upload it to online stores.

Deploying Android apps

Deploying Android apps means deploying an APK or AAB file to an online store. Any deployment solutions covered in these sections also cover apps developed with other frameworks, such as React Native or Flutter, that can produce APK or AAB files.

Deploying Android apps generally requires a Google service account which you can upload to Bitrise.

Deploying iOS apps

Deploying Android apps means installing an IPA file on test devices or deploying an IPA file to an online store. Any deployment solutions covered in these sections also cover apps developed with other frameworks, such as React Native or Flutter, that can produce IPA files.

Deploying Android apps generally requires an Apple service connection on Bitrise.
