13. How to publish your app

In Workmaster, you can deploy your app across multiple platforms, including web, iOS, and Android. Whether you're launching your app as a web app, generating native builds for mobile platforms, or preparing for app store submission, Workmaster provides a seamless way to deploy and manage your application.

This module explains how to deploy a Workmaster app to different platforms, monitor the build process, and manage updates post-deployment.

Deploying Your App for Various Platforms

Web Deployment:

Workmaster enables you to instantly launch your app as a web application. Once you have completed the app's design and testing, you can generate a shareable URL to make the app accessible via browsers. This is ideal for quickly sharing your app with users and stakeholders for immediate access.

To get started with web deployment, refer to the Web Publishing in the User Manual.

Android Deployment: Generate Native Builds for Google Play Store or Sideloading

For Android deployment, Workmaster allows you to generate a native build (APK file) that can be submitted to the Google Play Store or sideloaded onto Android devices for testing.

To get started with the android build process, refer to the Android Build Process in the User Manual.

iOS Deployment: Generate Native Builds for the Apple App Store or Sideloading

For iOS deployment, Workmaster provides the ability to generate a native iOS app (IPA file) that can be submitted to the Apple App Store or sideloaded onto iOS devices for testing.

To get started with the iOS build process, refer to the iOS Build Process in the User Manual.

Monitor the Build Process

Once the app build process starts, Workmaster provides a build status monitor to track the progress of your builds in real time. This tool keeps you updated and notifies you once your build is completed and ready for download or deployment.

  • You’ll be notified when the build is complete and ready for download or deployment.

  • You can download the build logs to troubleshoot any potential issues during the build process.


Post-Deployment: Monitor Usage and Manage Version Updates

After your app is published and live, Workmaster allows you to manage version updates and monitor usage.

Manage Version Updates:

As you make changes to your app, you can push new updates by generating updated builds and submitting them to the respective app stores. Keep your app updated and address any bugs or improvements by releasing new versions.

  • Android: Submit your updated APK to the Google Play Store.

  • iOS: Submit your updated IPA to the Apple App Store.
