A new year brings support for new mobile app frameworks in Appflow<\/a>, the mobile DevOps solution from Ionic. Now, developers can build traditional native iOS and Android apps in Appflow, expanding on existing support for Capacitor, Cordova, and React Native.<\/span><\/p>\n

This release continues Appflow\u2019s mission to make mobile DevOps easy for all developers, regardless of framework or DevOps experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Appflow<\/a> started as the solution for cross-platform developers using Capacitor and Cordova to easily build native mobile apps in the cloud, ship to app stores, and automate workflows.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With <\/span>last year\u2019s release of React Native support<\/span><\/a> and now traditional native iOS and Android, more teams than ever can leverage Appflow to build mobile CI\/CD pipelines. Developers can orchestrate entire workflows within Appflow\u2019s dashboard, or use Appflow\u2019s CLI to integrate builds, deployments, and live updates into existing CI\/CD workflows.<\/span><\/p>\n

Support for additional mobile development frameworks is particularly impactful for enterprise organizations. In <\/span>an October webinar<\/span><\/a>, the Appflow team highlighted specific complexities of developing mobile apps at the enterprise level. For these larger organizations coordinating deployments across teams using multiple frameworks, a tool like Appflow provides a single platform for all teams, removing knowledge silos and the need to manage multiple tools.<\/span><\/p>\n

How it works<\/h2>\n

Traditional native support includes Android (typically Kotlin or Java) and iOS (typically Swift or Objective-C) mobile apps. Unlike hybrid or cross-platform apps built with Capacitor or React Native, these apps are designed specifically for a single native platform.<\/span><\/p>\n

To start building and shipping a traditional native iOS or Android app, use <\/span>the same easy implementation process<\/span><\/a> Appflow provides for other mobile architectures.<\/span><\/p>\n

Import your app by connecting to the project repository on your Git provider and selecting iOS (Beta) or Android (Beta) during app setup.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Appflow

Once your app is connected, configure <\/span>signing certificates<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>deployment destinations<\/span><\/a>, and any <\/span>custom environments<\/span><\/a> as needed. Select a commit to start the build, selecting the build stack, type, and optional configurations.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Appflow

Configure variables or secret keys in the Appflow dashboard, or leverage <\/span>support for iOS Schemes and Android Variants<\/span><\/a>. Set up <\/span>automated workflows<\/span><\/a> based on a branch trigger, or use the <\/span>Ionic Cloud CLI<\/span><\/a> to integrate with an existing CI\/CD pipeline.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Appflow experience is nearly identical regardless of the mobile architecture. However, Web Previews and Live Updates are currently only available for Capacitor or Cordova apps. Our documentation <\/span>outlines which features are available using mobile architecture badges<\/span><\/a>. The Appflow team will continue to expand supported mobile architectures and new features.<\/span><\/p>\n

Getting started<\/h2>\n

Existing Appflow customers can get started today by importing a traditional native iOS or Android app. Appflow plan administrators can invite new team members as needed <\/span>using the instructions here<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
