Summary

Ionic has introduced a new feature to its Cloud CLI: Live Update channel deletion, allowing developers to maintain a manageable list of live channels while rolling out new features. The Cloud CLI, integrated into various CI/CD platforms like Azure DevOps and GitLab, allows developers to manage build production and deployment processes efficiently. Live Updates enable direct web code updates to users, bypassing app store reviews, and each update is linked to a specific channel. The new deletion command helps streamline the process by removing channels after pull requests are merged, ensuring the channel list remains organized and functional. This enhancement improves workflow by creating a new live update channel for each feature branch, facilitating QA testing, and then deleting the channel post-merger, thus maintaining efficiency and order in the development process.
