  We've been using app center for build distribution (https://appcenter.ms/). Source: 12 months ago

• A friend and I have spent way too much time sharing builds so we built this free tool!

  But, https://appcenter.ms/ and others like it are already available with generous free tiers and a lot more features (which you don't have to use, but can grow into), not to mention GitHub actions as others have noted. Does this advantages over existing, standard solutions? Source: 12 months ago

• I'm starting a new position as a DevOps release engineer and i'm looking for some tips

  Don’t muck with automating simulators, it’s a PITA: we used Https://aws.amazon.com/device-farm/ and it was ok. This was pretty ok: Https://bitrise.io As much as I hate Microsoft, https://appcenter.ms was workable, but required the most calories and was slow. Source: over 1 year ago

• I’m curious to hear how folks have been dealing with the trend of subscription based models in our world. As a owner, the income feels sustainable. As a consumer, it’s unsettling to “rent.” Curious to hear your experiences and feelings around subscribing for entertainments and apps!

  Dude you rock! Secrets is exactly what I wanted. Main developer seems to be former Apple employee, and their company data is legit. The app itself is very clean and works offline (it only sends a single request to appcenter.ms every time it launches which can be blocked too). Source: over 1 year ago

• Do I have to enroll in Apple Developer Program to distribute macOS applications as a final product?

  We've been working on bring the Sparkle chain in house, just so we own that part of the delivery system, but we were using Microsoft AppCenter to handle app distribution to start with. Their solution is pretty turnkey, and we found it to work pretty well. We've been moving that in-house just to eliminate the reliance on a third party and having to justify why are app keeps talking to MS servers. Source: over 1 year ago

• Restricting apps from outside sources

  Sideloading on both platforms is possible without jailbreaking or rooting the devices, but the source must be trusted. Microsoft App Center (https://appcenter.ms/) is an example of a common source used for testing and delivering apps out of band from the standard stores. I don't remember the details, if I ever knew them, for how to make a source like this trusted, although on a BYOD device, you're not going to be... Source: over 1 year ago

• If I make a Flutter app for iOS, how can others test it?

  You can try Firebase https://firebase.google.com/docs/app-distribution/get-set-up-as-a-tester?platform=ios Or maybe InstallR Https://www.installrapp.com/ Or even AppCenter Https://appcenter.ms/ Many possibilities :) Though you might have to deal with adding users profil and rebuild an IPA that allows then to use the app. Source: over 1 year ago

• Finding and Reporting a SwiftUI bug

  We let out Project Manager know our story was ready to be QA'd and that they could download the latest iOS QA build from AppCenter. Less than five minutes later, we get a message from Product saying the story was getting restarted (our backlog is in Pivotal Tracker) because the experience didn't work. Our PM even included a screen-recording of what they experienced and as you'll guess, it wasn't the same... - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago

• Where do you host your CI/CD tools that involves iOS development (Xcode)? I want to move my local hosted Jenkins

  We use AppCenter and are very happy after moving from aws Macs but basically any iOS build is going to be expensive because the "cloud" macs are still just macs plugged in from all my understanding. Apple doesn't give a fuck about that VM/cloud money. Source: over 2 years ago
