In the release candidate stage you select an installable artifact that will be used during the release process. You have two possible sources of installable artifacts:
-
A Bitrise CI build. If you use this source, you select a branch and a Workflow and then select an artifact generated by a build using those. By default, the artifact of the latest build is used but you can change this.
-
Upload an installable artifact via API. This is particularly useful if you use a different CI service instead of Bitrise.
To select a release candidate:
-
Open your release.
-
Select Release candidate on the left navigation bar.

Upload via API: To be able to select an artifact from this source, upload one using the API.

-
Check the Automatically select checkbox to use either the latest generated artifact or the latest file uploaded via the API.
