We support cross-platform apps made in Flutter, Xamarin, React-Native, Kotlin Multiplatform and others which generate`.app` or `.apk` builds.

## Upload your App

### With Upload Page

To upload your application via a web browser use our [Upload](https://appetize.io/upload) dialog:

{% embed url="<https://appetize.io/upload>" %}

#### Update existing Apps

To update an existing app, follow the same steps as uploading a new app via the [Upload](https://appetize.io/upload) dialog. The [latest build](#user-content-fn-1)[^1] will automatically be associated with your app.

To view all builds for an app, select the app and go to the [App Builds Page](https://docs.appetize.io/platform/listing-apps#app-builds-page).

{% hint style="warning" %}
In some instances, you might want to explicitly update a particular app build. To do so, follow these steps:

1. Go to the [Apps Dashboard](https://appetize.io/apps).
2. **Select the app**.
3. **Search and select the build** you want to update.
4. Go to **Settings**.
5. Navigate to "**Update build**"

### With REST API

Appetize also supports uploading your application programmatically by making use of our [REST API](https://docs.appetize.io/rest-api):

{% content-ref url="../../rest-api/create-new-app" %}
[create-new-app](https://docs.appetize.io/rest-api/create-new-app)
{% endcontent-ref %}

{% content-ref url="../../rest-api/update-existing-app" %}
[update-existing-app](https://docs.appetize.io/rest-api/update-existing-app)
{% endcontent-ref %}

[^1]: The **latest build** refers to the most recent version of your app on Android, identified by the [versionCode](https://developer.android.com/studio/publish/versioning#versioningsettings), and on iOS, by the [CFBundleShortVersionString](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/information_property_list/cfbundleshortversionstring) and [CFBundleVersion](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/information_property_list/cfbundleversion).
