If you're not already using the Fastlane Plugin, Gradle Plugin, or GitHub Action, you can upload manually your build using our REST API. The process looks like this:

  1. Make a GET request to our /upload endpoint to retrieve a signed URL
  2. Make a PUT request to the signed URL with the upload file contents

Getting a Signed URL

Using the /upload endpoint you can create a new upload and retrieve a signed URL to upload your uploaded file. The full documentation for this API endpoint is available here.

Emerge supports many common iOS & Android builds, see Supported Artifacts for a comprehensive list of all build types Emerge supports for iOS & Android.

Uploading to the signed URL

With the signed URL, you can make a PUT request to upload your app's build file.

If uploading a .zip file, the request should include the Content-Type: application/zip header. For example:

curl -v -H 'Content-Type: application/zip' -T MyArchive.xcarchive.zip "SIGNED_URL"

A complete example of a manual upload using shell commands is below:

#!/bin/bash

API_KEY=<YOUR_API_KEY>
PATH_TO_BUILD_ARTIFACT=<PATH_TO_YOUR_BUILD.xcarchive.zip>

json_body='{
  "filename":"your_build.xcarchive.zip",
  "branch":"example_branch_name",
  "repoName":"example_repo_name",
  "buildType":"release",
  "prNumber": "123",
  "sha":"123456",
  "baseSha":"654321"}'

upload_response=$(curl \
                     --url "https://api.emergetools.com/upload" \
                     --header 'Accept: application/json' \
                     --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
                     --header "X-API-Token: $API_KEY" \
                     --data "$json_body")

# Pull the uploadURL field from the response using jq
upload_url=$(echo "$upload_response" | jq -r .uploadURL)

curl -v -H 'Content-Type: application/zip' -T "$PATH_TO_BUILD_ARTIFACT" "$upload_url"
