Adding a new release

Abstract

In Release Management, you can add a new release to a connected app. Each release has its own configuration that you can modify at any time.

Once you have a connected app, you need to add a new release to be able to release the app to the App Store or Google Play. Each app can have multiple releases and you can add new releases that are based on previous existing releases.

You can also add a new release using the Bitrise API.

To add a new release to a connected app:
