@gregratner Greg - you and your team have been super helpful in crafting the buddybuild experience from the early days! Thank you!
I've used buddybuild to prototype new ideas and collect near-instant feedback from my co-founder and team. It's amazing. At some point I made an error in the XCode configuration and pushed it up.. When the build failed, someone at buddybuild reached out to me in under a minute to help me resolve the issue. Fantastic support and a beautiful product!
@jhubert Thanks Jeremy! That's exactly how we're trying to help developers become more productive!
Even while it was in Beta, BuddyBuild for Android really sped up our development process. The fact that you can now kick builds right to Google play from a branch has really improved the quality of our product given how easy it it to test features on real phones before you merge them in.
@imackinn Thanks Ian - this week we'll be making it even easier to auto deploy to Google Play.. and we'll seen be surfacing an on-device testing solution as well!
We've been using Buddybuild for a little while now, to handle building, testing and deployment of our iOS app at Splittable. It's a fantastic product and simply works (which can't be said for most other equivalent services). Can't wait to get this set up for our Android app.
As someone who's built CI/CD chains a bunch of times, this might be the best news in a while.
It seems too great to be true!
@dennispilarinos Do you support multiple flavors publishing?
i.e. I have 1 app and 2 play accounts I'd like to publish it to using 2 different flavors.
Anyways, great job, going to test it out these days 👍👍👍
@ianissoawesome Hey Ian! It's definitely true.. and yes, we do! Our experience for that will get even better later this week!
We've been using buddybuild here at Radical I/O since November for iOS and Android, plus introduced some new complications by throwing ionic into the mix too. Every step of the way Dennis, Chris and the whole team have provided excellent support (even during crazy hours of the wee morning). Releases to our client and their testers have been super simplified, and the feedback and logging functions of their iOS SDK have been great. So excited to now have those same features for Android. Even I, as a non-dev, have become almost expert-like in buddybuild features and builds, which goes to show how intuitive it is to use. Thanks for a great product!
@simbriana Thank you for the kind words Briana! We're happy that our product is within reach for people in many roles!
@mahantesh19_ Todoed looks like a fantastic product - we'd love to be part of making that happen!
@engmsaleh Hey Mohamed - thanks for checking it out. We'd love to have you using buddybuild for your next project!
Hello all!
First, thanks for the hunt.
Today, we’re very excited to announce buddybuild support for Android apps!
We launched our iOS experience on Product Hunt in October, and today, we're making the entire "Build, Deploy, Feedback and Crash Reporting" experience for Android available to everyone.
For some context... when we started with buddybuild, we recognized that one of the crucial components of building software that people actually want, is to involve those very people.
Involving users as part of the mobile app development process is filled with friction. Creating builds, distributing them, getting feedback and actionable crash reports all working together in one system takes a lot of time to setup, and even more time to maintain.
Buddybuild is a mobile iteration platform that helps mobile developers ship better apps, faster.
To do so, we've built an end-to-end system that ties together a mobile-optimized continuous integration, continuous delivery and an iterative feedback solution into a single, seamless platform.
Every 'git push' kicks off a new build, runs any UI or Unit tests you may have and instantly deploys that build to testers.
With a simple screenshot, testers can easily send their feedback along with important device metadata to give you perfect insight into any bugs they’re experiencing.
If your app crashes, buddybuild will trace back and highlight the exact line of source code that caused the crash, tell you which users were affected, and how many times the crash has occurred.
Finally, when your app’s ready, send it directly to Google Play (for Android) or AppStore (for iOS!)
We'd love to get feedback from the Product Hunt community - what are we missing? What works? What doesn't?
We'd love to get your thoughts!
We are using it for 2 months and never had issues with integrating and building on Android and on iOS too. I love the Feedbacks part and Slack integrations!
Great product! Great team! Always ready to help.
Thanks Dennis and Johnny and Christoper and Richard and all other people behind this product :)
@armen_mkrtchian Thanks Armen. We have a number of integrations built it (like Slack, HipChat, JIRA, GitHub Issues and others) to make sure that buddybuild plays well in your development workflow!
We've been using BuddyBuild for iOS for a while. It's an amazing tool, with amazing support team. If you're doing mobile development BuddyBuild should be the first thing to integrate.
