Release Management concepts

To successfully use Release Management, there are a few concepts you need to be aware of.

Connected app

You connect your app from the App Store or Google Play to a Bitrise project. This is what we call a connected app.

You need at least one connected app to be able to use Release Management.

Releases

You manage releases of a connected app: each release is a new version of an app. An iOS release has a version number, and an Android release has a version name.

Release Manager

A team member in Release Management with the required permissions to manage releases. Project admins can grant the Release Manager role to team members.

Release presets

For each connected app, you can define presets, which are configuration values automatically applied in a new blank release.
