Create Projects

Manage and create your app projects

Step 1: Create new app project

Before you can upload your builds to your iOS, Android, Windows or MacOS app you need to create an app project first.

App Project: An App project is a container for all of your apps across platforms: Android and iOS. It supports sharing features such as Release Management, Feedback Management and Environment Config across your apps.

1. On the Updraft dashboard, click Create New Project.

2. If you clicked on Create New Project you can enter a project title and a description of your project. Both you can edit later.

3. By clicking on the Save button, your project will be created

Step 3: Chose your app title and the deployment environment

After you created your project and selected the OS platform of your app you can chose an app title as well as the name for the deployment environment.

1. Type in an app title

2. Select a name for your deployment environment from the dropdown list or chose a custom name for your deployment environment. If you let it empty we will name it default 'Test'. You have the possibility to adjust later the name of your app and of your environment. By clicking on Create App you will create your first app within your project and you will be redirected to the Application Overview.

Deployment Environment: in computer science it's described as a system in which a computer program is deployed and executed. Depending on the development progress of a program or an application, we made a distinction between different environments such as: Development, Build, Test, QA, Staging, Production

Apps are private by default

During the creation of a new app a user is able to choose if the app is public available or not. Per default an app is set as private. This setting can be later adjusted on the app overview page under the section Security (see also Security)
