Introduction to Release Management
Release management is the process of planning, coordinating, and executing app releases to stores. Effective release management ensures smooth deployments, minimizes risks, and maintains quality. Proper release management includes release planning, staged rollouts, version management, store submissions, and post-release monitoring.
Release management encompasses: release planning, quality gates, store submissions, staged rollouts, release notes, version coordination, and rollback procedures. Understanding release management best practices is critically important for successful deployments and maintaining app quality.
