Still Building iOS & Android
Apps Manually?
Hours wasted on manual builds. Different environments causing bugs. Team members waiting for builds. Your productivity suffers with every manual deployment.
What if builds happened automatically on every commit?
Capgo Build lets your CI/CD pipeline trigger signed iOS and Android builds in the cloud, then download artifacts or submit them to the stores.
✓ Capgo Build • ✓ iOS & Android CI/CD • ✓ GitHub Actions-ready
The Native Build Nightmare
Every mobile developer knows the pain of manual builds. Here's how Capgo Build fits into CI/CD.
Without CI/CD
Hours of manual building
Developers waste time on repetitive build processes
Environment inconsistencies
"Works on my machine" bugs from different build environments
Certificate & signing chaos
Manual certificate management causes expired builds
No build history
Can't track what was built when or reproduce past builds
Result: Slow releases, team bottlenecks, wasted developer time
With Capgo Build CI/CD
Build iOS without a Mac
Cloud-based builds mean your whole team can build iOS apps
Automated signing & certificates
Never deal with expired certificates or provisioning profiles again
Consistent builds every time
Same environment, same results - no more "works on my machine"
Automatic store submission
Upload to TestFlight and Play Console automatically
Result: Efficient team, reliable builds, faster release cycles
Works with your existing CI/CD setup
Jenkins 
CircleCI From Code to App Stores Automatically
Stop manual builds and certificate management. Here's how CI/CD transforms your workflow:
Prepare Build Credentials
Run Capgo Build locally once, then export your iOS and Android signing credentials as CI secrets. Your pipeline gets the credentials it needs without committing them to git.
Push Code, Trigger Capgo Build
GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or any runner can call the Capgo CLI after your web build and Capacitor sync. No Mac runner is required for iOS builds.
Download or Submit Artifacts
Use debug builds for testing, upload artifacts for QA, or let release builds submit to TestFlight and Play Store. Your CI/CD workflow controls when each path runs.
How much time are you wasting on manual builds?
Every manual build is hours of developer time lost. Inconsistent environments cause bugs that take days to debug. Your team's productivity is suffering.
Watch Your Apps Build Automatically
Push code and watch as CI/CD handles everything - from building to signing to deployment
Why Automate with CI/CD?
Transform your mobile deployment workflow with these powerful benefits
Automated Native Builds
Push code and get native iOS and Android builds automatically. No manual Xcode or Android Studio required - builds run in the cloud.
Zero Downtime Updates
Updates happen in the background while your app is running. Users never experience interruptions or forced updates.
Automated Quality Gates
Only deploy when tests pass. Integrate with your existing test suites and quality checks for bulletproof releases.
Instant Rollback Safety
Build artifacts are automatically versioned and stored. Revert to any previous build instantly if issues are discovered after deployment.
Advanced CI/CD Features
Take your deployment strategy to the next level with these powerful features
Multi-Environment Deployment
Deploy to different channels based on branch, environment, or custom conditions. Perfect for staging, beta, and production workflows.
- Branch-based deployments
- Environment-specific channels
- Conditional deployments
Gradual Rollouts
Start with a small percentage of users and gradually increase. Monitor metrics and automatically halt problematic deployments.
- Percentage-based rollouts
- Automatic halt on errors
- Metrics-based decisions
REST API Integration
Full API access for custom integrations. Build your own deployment tools or integrate with existing systems.
- Complete REST API
- Custom integrations
- Webhook notifications
Ship Native Builds From Your Pipeline
Capgo Build plugs into your existing CI/CD flow: install dependencies, build web assets, sync Capacitor, then call the Capgo CLI to compile signed native apps in the cloud.
Pricing
One Capgo plan includes OTA updates, about 15 native builds/month, and credit-based billing for extra build minutes.
Starts at
$12/mo
Included usage
OTA + ~15 builds
per month
Credit usage

for extra build minutes
Initialize Build
Register the app in Capgo and run the build wizard locally once so iOS certificates, provisioning profiles, Android keystores, and store credentials are validated.
Export Secrets
Use the credentials manager to export a local .env.capgo.* file, then push it into GitHub Actions secrets with gh secret set -f.
Add Workflow
Your workflow installs dependencies, runs your web build, syncs Capacitor, and triggers @capgo/cli build for iOS, Android, or both.
Release or Test
Trigger debug builds from a button, release builds from tags, or smoke builds on main. Upload artifacts for QA or submit release builds to stores.
Core CI Commands
Run setup locally, export the credentials, then let CI call Capgo Build after your project build and Capacitor sync.
npx @capgo/cli@latest build init
npx @capgo/cli@latest build credentials manage --appId com.example.app
gh secret set CAPGO_TOKEN --body "your_capgo_api_key_here"
gh secret set -f .env.capgo.com.example.app
npm ci
npm run build
npx cap sync
npx @capgo/cli@latest build com.example.app --platform android --build-mode releaseWhat Goes Into CI Secrets
- Capgo API key:
CAPGO_TOKENwith build permissions. - iOS signing: certificate, password, provisioning map, App Store Connect key, issuer, and team ID.
- Android signing: keystore, alias, key passwords, and Play Console service account JSON.
- Optional artifact output: add output upload flags for QA download links and QR codes.
