iOS
Emerge requires uploads to be a zipped xcarchive
(.xcarchive.zip
) or a zipped xcframework
(.xcframework.zip
) file.
Xcode Archive files are generally the byproduct your CI build system. You can also generate one manually in Xcode, see Create an archive of your app for more information. For the best results, we recommend including dSYM
files in your archive.
We recommend automating this process on your CI using one of Emerge's integrations. We offer support for Fastlane, Xcode Cloud, Github Actions, CodeMagic, a REST API, and more.
Android
Emerge supports both .apk
and .aab
files for uploads and they don't need to be zipped.
For the best results, we recommend including any R8
and Proguard
mappings used for obfuscating your app (AABs should include mappings by default).
We recommend automating this process on your CI using one of Emerge's integrations. We offer support for Gradle, a REST API, and more.

Where can I find my iOS bundle ID?
Open the Signing & Capabilities
section of your Xcode project and look for the Bundle Identifier. This text field will contain the public ID that is permanently associated with your app on the App Store.
Where can I find my Android package name?
Your app's build.gradle
file will contain an applicationId
key. The applicationId
's value will be the public ID that is permanently associated with your app on the Google Play Store.
In older apps, your package name might be in the <application>
block of your app's AndroidManifest.xml
file.
Adding members to your Team
Emerge recommends using SSO for user provisioning. Alternatively, you can head to your profile to invite other members.
