How to Release Mobile App Security Templates between Teams

Last updated December 12, 2022 by Appdome

In the mobile industry, the mobile app security release process is shared between different teams – Development, Security, Operations, QA, Production, etc. Each team passes the final product to the next team in the chain. Sharing tested and working Fusion Sets is the way to achieve a smooth process from development all the way to production.

This Knowledge Base article describes how to release a Fusion Set security template with other Appdome Teams as part of the security release management process.

How to Release Fusion Sets between Teams

Appdome provides the ability to Release Fusion Sets across all teams and apps in an account. This way, Appdome users avoid repeating the same configuration tasks for each app in each team, which is tedious, time-consuming and error-prone.

Prerequisites for Releasing a Fusion Set

To release a Fusion Set you need to have:

An Appdome account – if you do not have an account yet, click here to create an account.

A mobile app –

Android (.apk or .aab) or iOS (.ipa). Click here to add a mobile app to your Appdome account.
