“Capgo Build helped us simplify our Capacitor app release process. We can build and ship iOS and Android apps from one clear workflow.”
Stop Manual Native Builds
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
GitHub Actions
GitLab CI
Jenkins
CircleCI
+ Any CI/CD platform
Watch Your Apps Build Automatically
Push code and watch as CI/CD handles everything - from building to signing to deployment

Capgo Build in CI/CD
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

1
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.
2
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.
3
Add Workflow
Your workflow installs dependencies, runs your web build, syncs Capacitor, and triggers @capgo/cli build for iOS, Android, or both.
4
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 request 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.
Coming from Expo?
The EAS Workflows equivalent for Capacitor
EAS Workflows is Expo's hosted CI/CD for React Native. Capgo is the Capacitor path: keep GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Jenkins, then call Capgo Build for signed iOS and Android artifacts. Capgo is not a drop-in EAS Workflows runner and does not build Expo projects.
Customer proof
Teams automate their Capacitor releases with Capgo
Native builds and live updates from one pipeline, without a Mac in the loop.
Nate van Jole
CTO, Private
“Getting set up took less than a day. Channel-based rollouts let me test on my own device before anything hits production users.”
Kapil
Founder, NuTriQ
“Being able to push production OTA updates instantly without waiting for full App Store review cycles has been a massive operational advantage.”
