There are several ways how you can upload your apps to Updraft. Probably the most straightforward way is to just use the web dashboard: Go to your app project, select your environment where you want to upload your new iOS or Android app and click on the upload button. If you want to integrate Updraft into your continuous integration workflow however, you can use our Updraft Fastlane Plugin for iOS or the Updraft Gradle Plugin for Android, to upload new builds directly from your IDE.
But there is a third, probably even an easier way: You can upload your builds directly to Updraft with the help of the command line.
To upload a build using the command line, you only need to know your API key and your app key. Of course, you also need to know where your build is stored on your computer. You can find the API key in your Updraft profile. The App Key can be found in your project, to which you want to upload your app.
Example CURL
Open your Terminal/CMD and type in the following command with your path to the file your environment app key and your API key.
curl -X PUT https://getupdraft.com/api/app_upload/<Your EnvironmentAppKey>/<Your APIKey> -F app=@/Users/Admin/Downloads/yourapp.apk
The App should now get uploaded to your project. You also have the option of adding additional parameters to the request, which are then displayed in the Updraft build history.
