In the mobile industry, the development process is shared between different teams – Development, QA and Production. 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 share your Fusion Set with other teams and enhance your workflow. This feature is known as Flex-Release – Shareable Fusion Sets.
About Flex-Release – Shareable Fusion Sets
Appdome is a mobile integration platform as a service (iPaaS) that allows users to add a wide variety of features, SDKs, and APIs to Android and iOS apps. Using a simple ‘click to add’ user interface, Appdome allows anyone to easily integrate features to any mobile app – instantly, no code or coding required.
Using Appdome, there are no development or coding prerequisites. For example, there is no Appdome SDK, libraries, or plug-ins to implement. The Appdome technology adds features and relevant standards, frameworks and more to the app automatically, with no manual development work at all. This is done using Fusion Sets, which store your fusing preferences. You can read more about Appdome Fusion Sets here.
Appdome-GO provides the ability to share 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 frustrating and error-prone.
Prerequisites for sharing your Fusion Set
To be able to share Fusion Sets, you’ll need:
- An Appdome account – IDEAL or Higher.
- Appdome GO – Upgrade to an Ideal Appdome Go User. See how here.
- Use Appdome for Teams
- Mobile App – Android (.apk) or iOS (.ipa)
