Upload a new app version

Upload your application binary package to Updraft before you release it to your testers. Updraft supports package uploads for Android (.apk) and iOS (.ipa) apps.

Uploading the package

To upload a new package to Updraft, go to the build page of your selected app project and switch with the help of the dropdown in the header to your app you want to upload a new package.

Such release notes your testers will see, as soon they install your application.
