Upload a build

A build is one APK. Each build gets its own page where you add testers and share an install link.

From the dashboard

1. Open your app and click Upload build.
2. Pick your APK file. Canopy reads the version straight from it.
3. Submit. Canopy scans the build for malware before it goes live.

When the scan passes, the build becomes active and you can add testers.

From CI

You can also upload from a pipeline with the Canopy CLI or the GitHub Action. Both use an API key, which you make under Settings, then API Keys. This is handy if you want every new build to go out to testers automatically.

Expiry

A build expires after the number of days you set, up to 30. After it expires the APK is removed and testers can no longer install it. Upload a new build to keep testing.
