Automatic build deployment with TeamCity
Updraft now allows you to integrate TeamCity in your continuous deployment workflow. With TeamCity you can automatically deploy your iOS or Android builds to Updraft. Set up your continuous integration and continuous deployment pipeline and configure Updraft as a build step to streamline your development and testing workflow.
How to use Teamcity to upload builds to Updraft?
If you use Teamcity, a CI-Solution by Jetbrains, you can deploy to Updraft very easily: Updraft provides the CURL link automatically. With a few simple clicks you can configure your environment accordingly - here’s how to to that:
First you have to select the desired environment within your project. Once the environment is selected, go ahead and click the Menu-Icon. From there, select Edit to get to the environments settings. In the settings, you’ll find the option Copy CURL to Clipboard. Click this to copy the executable command to upload the app:
The CURL will have a format like this:
curl -X PUT -F "app=@/PATH/TO/FILE" https://getupdraft.com/api/app_upload/123456/23456/
Once the CURL is in your clipboard, switch to TeamCity and create a new build step to be executed after building your app i.e. when the .apk or .ipa file is ready.
Select Command Line as the runner type:
After that’s done, you can paste the CURL into the Custom script field:
Of course, you will have to replace the -F app=@/PATH/TO/FILE argument with a path to your own APK or IPA.
Assuming all this went well, from now on, whenever the build step is executed, your app will be uploaded to the right environment within your Updraft project automatically! Simple, right?
