Mobile DevOps: Release Xamarin Apps Automatically

How much time do you spend every time you need to release a new version of your Xamarin app? Is it minutes, hours, or days?

To release the Xamarin.iOS project, you need to:

build the app

test to make sure it works properly

create an IPA file, and make sure it works properly

upload it manually to the AppStore…

and then repeat the same process for the Android version of your Xamarin app. In case you need to show it to QA before you submit, the process gets even longer.

But what if there was a way to run this process automatically? Without you having to bother with all mentioned above?

Wouldn’t that be great?

QA gets the beta version, they approve it, and the version is automatically released to production every single time.

Luckily, this is possible.

Enter Azure DevOps.

In the Mobile DevOps: Release Xamarin Apps Automatically course, I’m going to show you how to quickly and easily set up the automated build and release process, that will:

Build both iOS and Android versions of your Xamarin app AUTOMATICALLY every time there is a change

Run tests on every build, so that those sneaky bugs don’t end up in the production
