Runway

Runway is a mobile release management platform designed specifically for iOS and Android development teams. Think of it as air traffic control for your app releases.

The platform sits above your existing development tools and connects everything together, from version control and project management to CI/CD systems and app stores. Runway automatically tracks the progress of each release, handles communication between team members, and automates manual steps that usually slow down deployments.

The platform provides real-time visibility into your entire release cycle, so everyone knows exactly what's happening and what needs to be done next. Founded by former mobile engineers from companies like Rent the Runway and ClassPass, Runway understands the real challenges mobile teams face and solves them with smart automation and better collaboration tools.

Getting started with Runway is straightforward and designed to work with your existing tools. First, sign up for a free account and connect your development tools like GitHub, Jira, Slack, and app store accounts. Runway supports all major platforms including App Store Connect, Google Play Console, and popular CI/CD systems like Bitrise and CircleCI.

Once connected, Runway automatically creates a live timeline for each release, showing exactly where things stand and what comes next. Here's how to get the best results:

• Set up your release process by defining steps and approval workflows

• Assign team members to specific tasks and responsibilities

• Use automated notifications to keep everyone informed without Slack chaos

• Monitor rollout health with real-time data from crash reporting tools
