Buddybuild helps in building software that could be of effective use for developers to build apps or software for iPhone or other iOS based devices. This Buddybuild software is the only mobile continuous integration and delivery platform that sets up in just few minutes and enables developers to start building and testing their apps in no time.

This startup binds together integration, delivery and an iterative feedback solution into a single, seamless platform. With such ability, iPhone app development companies need not involve in disparate systems to accomplish app development needs.

  • Triggers a build of an iOS app
  • Runs unit or UI tests 
  • Prepares app for beat test
  • Deploys to Apple's TestFlight

The Buddybuild system is supposed to fit into Apple’s existing set of tools. In addition to that, the system will allow for integration of new methods for testing, debugging and deploying iOS apps through a systematic channel. Apple plans to improvise app development and deployment process to make available useful apps to iOS users. It would be exciting to know how Google copes up with this rapid pace of development and fast inflow of apps into Apple App Store after this acquisition.
