Introduction

CI/CD for mobile apps is a process that enables the organization to quickly and efficiently release and update their mobile applications. It also allows teams to quickly test and release their mobile applications, ensuring the code is stable, secure, and up to date. Furthermore, it allows teams to quickly address any bugs or issues found in their mobile applications.

In the rapidly evolving world of mobile app development, Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Deployment (CD) have emerged as vital practices to streamline the development process, improve code quality, and enable rapid, iterative releases. This chapter will explore the significance of CI/CD in mobile app development, illustrating its benefits and providing real-world examples to demonstrate its impact on the mobile development life cycle.
