Creating an app can be a feat. It’s a whole other ball game getting that app into the hands of your users reliably, efficiently, and without disaster. For most development teams, the most demanding part of building a successful app is deployment, and that’s likely the most important step of the process. For most development teams, it may be the most important step in the process, but it’s also the most difficult part: deployment. Not only does a poor mobile application deployment strategy cause technical issues, but it can also have a negative impact on your brand, your early adopters, and your momentum.<\/span><\/p>\n

In reality, deployment isn’t a one-time thing. It’s a process and one that starts long before your app is submitted to any store and remains ongoing after users have downloaded your app. The most successful apps in the world didn’t get built well; they got deployed well. That’s the difference between an app that’s successful and one that’s just a failure that sinks away.<\/span><\/p>\n

This guide explains all the necessary steps to create a viable mobile app deployment strategy for your product to last the long haul<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

  • Deployment is a process and not an event, it begins before a launch and continues after the launch.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Automation is a fundamental part of a CI\/CD pipeline and it reduces the risk of human error and speeds up each release.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Always stage if it doesn’t go through a production mirror it doesn’t belong in front of real users.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • When something goes wrong, feature flags and phased rollouts will keep you in control, flexible, and provide you with a safety net.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • There is a type of testing that can only be done during the pre-launch phase, which involves real users, and that is what can help catch things no automated test suite will ever catch.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • App Store Optimization is not something that you’re doing after you launch your app. App Store Optimization is not an afterthought.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Where deployment lives after launch is in post-launch monitoring track down crashes, retention, and performance from day 1.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t
