Build, ship, and update your cross-platform apps from one managed platform — no runners to maintain, no signing scripts, no update servers.
More than 1,000 teams build with Capawesome
Mobile DevOps applies DevOps practices — continuous integration, continuous delivery, and automation — to mobile app development. It covers the full release lifecycle: building and signing native binaries, submitting to the Apple App Store and Google Play, delivering over-the-air updates, and monitoring releases in production.
Mobile makes DevOps harder than the web: code signing, store review, release trains, and device fragmentation all slow releases down. Capawesome manages this entire pipeline for Capacitor, Ionic, Cordova, and native Android and iOS apps — so you ship faster without building the tooling yourself.
DIY pipelines trade release speed for maintenance work. A managed platform gives you the speed without the upkeep.
Trigger a signed build, a store submission, or a live update with one CLI command or Git push — release day becomes a non-event.
Managed macOS and Linux runners, certificate storage, and a global update CDN — no build machines or update servers to run.
Staged rollouts, one-click rollbacks, code signing, and a full audit trail keep every release observable and reversible.
The pipeline starts where most teams get stuck: compiling and signing iOS and Android binaries. Managed cloud runners do it on every Git push — no build machines to babysit.
Managed macOS and Linux runners — Xcode and tooling always current
Certificates and provisioning stored once — every build signed automatically
Trigger from Git, CLI, API, or dashboard — builds fit your workflow
Debug and release artifacts — download them or send them straight to a store
Release day usually means Transporter uploads, Play Console clicks, and waiting. Automated submissions turn publishing into just another step in your pipeline.
TestFlight, App Store, and Google Play — one workflow for every destination
Submit from the CLI or on Git push — no Transporter, no console clicking
Store credentials stored per app — set up once, reused for every release
Every submission tracked — release status visible in one dashboard
The slowest part of mobile DevOps is the store review between you and your users. Over-the-air updates deliver web-layer changes to installed Capacitor, Ionic, and Cordova apps in seconds.
Hotfixes in seconds — skip the review queue for web-layer changes
Channels and staged rollouts — ramp from a few users to everyone
One-click rollback — bad releases are reversible
End-to-end code signing — devices verify every update they install
A pipeline is only DevOps when nobody has to run it by hand. Automations turn every Git push into a finished release — a native build, a live update, or a store submission.
Trigger on Git push — every merge or tag can become a release
Branch and tag patterns — fire only on the names you care about
Attached build settings — signing, destination, and channel pre-selected
No pipeline files to author — configure workflows without YAML
Use the official GitHub Action, or drop the Capawesome CLI into GitLab CI or any other provider — or skip CI entirely and let Automations run the release.

What it takes to run mobile DevOps yourself — and what changes when the pipeline is managed for you.
From solo developers to enterprise app portfolios — teams run their mobile DevOps on Capawesome instead of maintaining their own toolchain.
Our Capacitor app had several unique requirements for running operations in the background. The Capawesome team was able to quickly understand our needs and crafted a customized Capacitor plugin that exceeded our expectations.
Capawesome Cloud has helped us reduce our live update costs by more than 90% while offering more features than our previous provider. The integration took us less than a day and the support is top-notch. We now deliver daily live updates to more than 200,000 devices without any issues.
We mainly use over-the-air (OTA) updates to deliver critical bug fixes and updates when waiting on the App Store review process is not an option. After dealing with too much down-time and latency from Capgo, we made the decision to switch to Capawesome Cloud and we couldn't be happier. Capawesome is more stable and the package delivery speeds are significantly faster, which makes a big difference at scale. Capawesome's team is extremely responsive and professional - thanks for supplying such a great product guys.
Capawesome Cloud has been a game-changer for our team. We can now deploy updates to our Capacitor app without pushing to the app stores. This has saved us countless hours and allowed us to iterate faster. It's a must-have for any modern app development team.
Capawesome's live updates have been a game changer for our mobile recipe app at King Arthur Baking. We can quickly deliver improvements without app store delays, saving time and resources while keeping the experience fresh for our baking community.
We've been using Capawesome Cloud for CI/CD across our Capacitor apps and couldn't be happier. Migrating from Appflow was a breeze — we were up and running in no time, with way less friction than anticipated. The setup was straightforward and the workflow has been rock solid ever since. But what really sets Capawesome apart is the support. The team is incredibly responsive and genuinely helpful. It's great to get that level of personal attention from a SaaS tool. Highly recommend it to any Capacitor team looking to simplify their deployment pipeline.
We tested and verified several solutions on the market to help us deliver OTA updates for our Apps quickly, securely and, most importantly, that were capable of scaling as we grew and demanded. Capawesome Cloud was our choice! The integration is super simple, we have automatic rollback and code signing to ensure the security of updates. The costs are transparent and honest, we are very happy with the platform and looking forward to integrating our future Apps!
Capawesome felt like it was designed with software engineers in mind. The documentation is excellent, the native library is robust, and the integration was minimally invasive and easy to keep well-factored and self-contained. We compared it directly with competitors, and Capawesome came out ahead on every point.
We had to use an Android and iOS SDK in our Capacitor app, for which no plugin existed. Capawesome was able to create a fully functional Capacitor plugin for us within a few days. The communication was excellent and the plugin works perfectly.
We switched from Capgo to Capawesome Cloud a few months ago and so far we haven't looked back. With Capawesome Cloud, we have significantly less downtime, updates are delivered faster, and support is literally the best we have ever experienced. The integration was straightforward, and the documentation is clear and concise. Big thanks to the Capawesome team for creating such an awesome platform!

Mobile DevOps applies DevOps practices — continuous integration, continuous delivery, and automation — to mobile app development. A mobile DevOps pipeline covers building and signing native binaries, submitting to the Apple App Store and Google Play, delivering over-the-air updates, and monitoring releases in production.
Mobile adds constraints the web doesn't have: binaries must be code-signed, releases pass Apple and Google review, users update on their own schedule, and a bad release can't simply be redeployed. Mobile DevOps tooling addresses these with managed code signing, automated store submissions, staged rollouts, and over-the-air updates.
A complete pipeline includes build automation, code signing, app store submission, over-the-air update delivery, and rollback capability. Capawesome manages all of these: Native Builds, App Store Publishing, Live Updates, and Automations.
No. A managed platform does the work a mobile DevOps hire would otherwise own — maintaining build runners, rotating certificates, scripting store uploads, and operating an update service. Solo developers and small teams run production release pipelines on Capawesome without any dedicated DevOps role.
Capawesome supports Capacitor, Ionic, Cordova, and native Android and iOS apps. Every feature works across all supported stacks, with one exception: Live Updates are available for Capacitor, Ionic, and Cordova apps only.
Yes. The Capawesome CLI runs in any CI provider — GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps, and others — so you can trigger builds, live updates, and store submissions from your existing pipeline. Or let Automations run the whole release on every Git push.
Yes. Apple and Google permit over-the-air updates to the web layer of cross-platform apps as long as the update doesn't change the app's primary purpose. Capawesome Live Updates delivers exactly this kind of update, so hotfixes and content changes reach users without a new store release.
