A Practical Guide to Building Mobile App Distribution Workflows
summary
Models three concrete workflows: code-review distribution, prototype touch sessions, pre-release QA. Provides working config examples using GitHub Actions to build artifacts, DeployGate to publish per-branch URLs and post comments, and Firebase App Distribution to create tester groups and auto-invite links. Recommends tagging builds with variant, intent, and changelog so QA can find the right binary. Includes a DeployGate+Actions implementation that issues URLs and notifies downstream systems and a Firebase flow that reliably adds testers.
