  • According to Grand View Research, the market size of the global mobile application was USD 154.05 billion in 2019. It is said to grow with a CAGR of 11.5% from 2020 to 2027.

The vast market of mobile applications has a long way ahead. It is essential to work on more creative things delivering powerful applications rather than focusing on the tasks that can be delegated. With Azure DevOps, your teams can work, collaborate on code development, and build and deploy mobile applications efficiently.

 

The primary steps to deploy the mobile app to Azure are specified in the build pipeline:

  • Create a zip file that has the deployed build artifacts.
  • Broadcast the zip file to make it available for the release pipeline.

 

Deploy an app with Azure DevOps

To automate the tasks such as building, testing, and deployment of applications, you can set up Azure pipelines. After successfully building and testing the application, you can add App Center Distribute task to distribute an application to a group of beta users.

 

Essential tools and features of Azure DevOps

Let’s know about some essential features of Azure DevOps.

 

Azure pipelines

Azure Pipelines supports continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD). This helps in constant testing, building, and deployment of the code continuously. You accomplish this by determining a pipeline. Azure pipelines support any language and any platform. With Azure pipelines, you can execute continuous delivery (CD) of your application to any cloud, for example, Azure, AWS, and GCP.

 

Visual Studio App Center Distribute

It is a tool for developers to release builds to devices quickly. Notify testers of new releases without testers going through the download flow again. It manages distribution groups for different versions of the application. Visual Studio App Center Distribute can connect with Apple, Google Play, and Intune stores. It includes the feature that gains platform support for different operating systems.

 

Azure artifacts

Azure artifacts help developers finish and broadcast various packages to Artifacts feeds and public registries. In addition, artifacts are used in combination with Azure Pipelines to deploy packages and applications.

 

Deployment of updates directly to the user’s device

CodePush, App Center cloud service, allows Apache Cordova and React Native developers to deploy mobile app updates straight to users’ devices. It acts as a central warehouse where developers can broadcast specific updates. It allows end-users to have more deterministic and direct engagement with your system.
