Mobile App Distribution

Faster and secure beta testing for pre-release confidence.

Distribute iOS and Android beta builds securely from one platform, manage testers without spreadsheets, and reproduce the bugs they report on specific real devices. Beta cycles run shorter, and releases ship with more confidence.

Manual, fragmented iOS & Android distribution

Sending builds out manually across platforms is slow and error-prone, stretching every beta.

OUTCOME

Secure, automated distribution — 50% shorter beta cycles

Pixelated Blocks
Lack of enterprise-grade security and access controls

Tracking the right testers on the right builds and enforcing access controls is hard at enterprise scale.

OUTCOME

Role-based access and compliance, built in

Pixelated Blocks
Beta bug reports you cannot reproduce

A vague tester report with no easy way to reproduce and debug on the specific device/OS is a dead end.

OUTCOME

Integrate functional and beta testing workflows

What changes when AURA runs the release lifecycle

  • Builds distributed by hand across iOS and Android
  • Tester management lives in a spreadsheet
  • Beta bug reports you cannot reproduce
  • Compliance gaps and no role-based access
  • Lengthy, manual beta release cycles
  • Secure, automated distribution at scale from one platform
  • Tester groups managed in a dashboard or landing pages
  • Reported bugs reproduced on the real device and OS
  • SSO, private cloud and storage, role-based access built in
  • 50% shorter beta release cycles
