How to Ship a Mobile App

The whole app release process is a total mess. Having to hop between Asana/Trello, Teams/Slack, Android Studio, Bitrise/App Center, Firebase and the app stores multiple times is a real pain. It'd be nice if there's a glue to link all these systems together -- if Runway can do it without needing a lot of setup code/config, even better

My team and I have been doing some thinking on the mobile app release process. It's such a necessary part of the overall mobile development lifecycle, but it often seems overlooked: having been through hundreds of mobile releases ourselves, we realized we had never paused to think about what the end-to-end process actually entails.

So, we tried to capture it all in writing. It's a high-level piece aimed at the entire cross-disciplinary mobile team (not just engineers!) and other stakeholders.

We'd love to hear your thoughts! Does anything stand out to you? Have we forgotten or overemphasized any steps in the process? How does your team ship apps?
