Appaloosa is a simple and secure enterprise App Store. They help mobile & digital teams build, test and deploy their apps privately.

You can manage your apps on Android, iOS and Windows Phone, all in the same place. Appaloosa also provides a native app store to increase your users’ engagement. They will receive a push notification on each update of the app and be able to test and use the latest version of your mobile apps.

Appaloosa also gives you great insight on the efficiency of your deployment with download and usage stats as well as feedbacks and ratings from the users.

They are entreprise ready with LDAP, OAuth, SAML and Active Directory integrations as well as a RESTful API. Get in touch for more details. Plus your mobile apps can be targeted to groups of users or distributed to all collaborators.

To deploy your app on Appaloosa, simply add the Appaloosa Step to your app’s Workflow. If you don’t already have an account on Appaloosa, it will be created on the go.

  • As a registered user you simply need your store id and API Key.

  • As an unregistered user, an email address is enough.

  • Optionally you can provide a description, screenshot urls (up to 5) and, if registered, group ids.

With Bitrise and Appaloosa, you can focus on your mobile app development and we take care of the rest!

In this section:

An app on Bitrise represents a Git repository that stores source code and has been connected to Bitrise to be able to run builds on it. As such, a Bitrise app isn't necessarily an actual application: it's just the code on which you run builds with Bitrise.

A Step is a block of script execution that encapsulates a build task on Bitrise: the code to perform that task, the inputs and parameters you can define for the task, and the outputs the task generates.

A Workflow is a collection of Steps, Environment Variables, and other configurations. When Bitrise starts a build, it runs one or more Workflows according to the configuration defined in the bitrise.yml file.
