Listing Apps
Organize your apps effortlessly with Appetize's App Dashboard and Groups, enabling seamless app management and access.
For our Enterprise customers we also provide Custom Launch Pages. They can provide a simple bookmark-friendly page for your teams, only showing the applications they are interested in.
Single Applications
App builds hosted on Appetize are distinguished by their unique Application Identifier. On Android, this identifier corresponds to the Application ID, while on iOS, it is known as the Bundle Identifier.
App Dashboard
The App Dashboard on Appetize provides you with an overview of all your uploaded apps.
The App Dashboard displays the uploaded for a specific application.
From there, you can:
Search by application name or app identifier
Filter your applications by Device Type (Android or iOS)
Navigate to the App Builds page, where you can see all the individual builds associated with your preferred application.
Play the latest build associated with your preferred application.
Share the latest build associated with your preferred application
See any App Groups you might have created
App Builds Page
The App Builds page provides an overview of all the builds that was uploaded for a particular application. These are sorted by version and build information as defined by the platform.
From there, you can:
See an overview of the uploaded for this application
Easily play, debug or share this build
Remove this application
Search for a specific build by associated metadata (e.g. version name, tag, notes and buildId)
Upload a new build
Navigate to an individual App Build Page
Play the latest build associated with your preferred application.
Share the latest build of your preferred application
Favorite your most used apps
See any App Groups you might have created
Build Page
The Build page provides an overview of a specific build that was uploaded to Appetize.
From there, you can:
See the build identifier
See a quick overview of the last played and uploaded dates
See an overview of all the build associated metadata
Add tags to easily identify this build
Add a note to describe this build
Easily play, share or debug this build
Rest API
Appetize also supports retrieving a list of your uploaded app builds (or a single app build by buildId) by making use of our REST API:
Each uploaded app build has a uniquely assigned buildId (previously known as publicKey).
To get a specific App Build you can navigate to the App Dashboard and open the App Builds page for the preferred App. Here you will be able to select individual builds that you might want to share or customize.
Unknown Builds
If a build provided to Appetize cannot be correctly processed for any reason, it will be added to the Unknown Builds page. From there, you can either delete the build or provide the necessary information in a Support request so our team can investigate further.
Grouped Applications
Appetize also supports grouping multiple applications that you would like to install simultaneously on the same device.
Simultaneous installation of applications with the same App Identifier is not possible due to conflict in identifiers.
You can view all your App Groups on the App Group Dashboard.
Creating a new group
To create a new group, select the Add group button
The new group dialog will appear, where you can:
Enter the preferred name for the group
Specify the associated platform of the group
A new group will be created with no applications attached
Add Applications
To add applications to the group, follow these steps:
Select the Add Group action.
In the Add App modal, either:
Search for your application by name or application ID, or
Browse the list of available applications.
Select one or multiple applications to add to the group.
By default, the latest build associated with the app will always be used:
To modify this, you can:
Click on the dropdown next to the build information (e.g., "Latest Build").
Specify a version and/or tags that match the build.
Choose a specific build or select the latest one from the dropdown menu.
Remove Applications
To remove any of the added applications, simply click on the trash bin icon next to the app and confirm in the dialog box that appears.
Unknown builds
If a build filter specified in an App Group can no longer be found or resolved, this information will appear at the bottom of the App Group. You can then remove or adjust the filter to find a new matching build.
Playing and embedding your App Group
Once you have added all the applications to the group, you can use the group in the same way that you would have used the individual applications (e.g. play, embed etc.). You can view all your App Groups on the App Group Dashboard.
