Frequently asked questions

We created Appstage because we needed a single simple method to deliver apps we've developed to our clients. As an XP influenced company we also believe in frequent and often delivery of software. To this end we wanted a simple web space we can share with our clients that allows us to produce professional weekly deliveries as well as giving live build access to the client.

Appstage provides a professional alternative that works for any client, plus adds features like automatic UDID collection, branded staging pages, file sharing, and release note management all in one place.

Our CLI works with any CI/CD platform including GitHub Actions, Xcode Cloud, Jenkins, TeamCity, Bitrise, and Azure DevOps. Simply install the appstage gem and use our upload command in your build scripts to automatically deploy successful builds to your client's staging page.
