Unlock the superpower of immediate deployments. Ship live app updates, critical bug fixes, content changes, beta features, and more at the speed of development.
Augment your native release schedule. Iterate quickly and fix critical issues by pushing updates directly to your users, when you’re ready, for immediate impact.
Release app improvements as often as necessary without pushing to the app stores, seamlessly in the background.
Protect your user experience by releasing critical bug fixes the second they’re ready, and not one second later.
Safely update your Ionic apps between native updates while staying compliant with Apple and Android requirements.
Live Updates allows you to send live code changes directly to users and testers without submitting a new native update. Changes to JavaScript, HTML, CSS, images, and other web files are included in the service—and fully compliant with Apple and Android requirements.
Ionic apps use Live Updates to check for the latest version and automatically install updates when available. This service works in the background providing a seamless user experience, so unless there’s a change to the native code, no user action is needed to keep apps updated.
Use App Store Publishing to ship native code changes.
With Live Updates, you can deliver critical updates to your users the moment you identify and fix the problem, not a second later. Live Updates can help you handle the most critical bug fixes in real time.
Some organizations must conform to strict security practices or regulations that prevent them from storing data on third-party infrastructure. With Self-hosted Live Updates, there’s no compromise–get all the benefits of Appflow without giving up control over your source code and build artifacts.
With Native Builds, we make it easy for teams to integrate their existing CI/CD infrastructure — including popular tools like Azure DevOps, Jenkins, GitLab, and more—to build and release new versions of your app.
Compile native app binaries in the cloud for iOS and Android without Mac hardware.
Publish directly to the App Stores from a secure cloud environment.
Deploy your apps with ease, deliver them continuously, and publish live updates instantly.
