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!
cool idea thanks for the product
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.
That's exceptionaly kind of you to say Vahagn! We try our best!
Thank your guys for bringing a so fantastic tools for us!
You're welcome! Thank you for the comment! :)
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.
Thanks for the kind words Ed! We're glad you're enjoying it!
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! 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 👍👍👍
Hey Ian! It's definitely true.. and yes, we do! Our experience for that will get even better later this week!
Woooo, awesome! A big hug for buddybuild team!
I was looking for this! thanks! :)
Great - we'd be happy to answer any questions for you!
thanks! I'll be trying it out on Thursday I believe :)
Very excited about this! We've been using the iOS version for a while - it's great to see it coming to Android
Greg - you and your team have been super helpful in crafting the buddybuild experience from the early days! Thank you!
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 :)
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!
Thanks for building this product! I will give it a try!
Excited to show this to our team at #Todoed todoed.co
Todoed looks like a fantastic product - we'd love to be part of making that happen!
Awesome! Great to know your opinion about it and collaborate potentially!
