Summary

Appflow, a mobile DevOps platform from Ionic, has expanded its Live Update feature to include native versioning capabilities in the Ionic Cloud CLI, allowing teams to manage app updates directly from their CI/CD pipelines. This enhancement enables developers to instantly push changes to app HTML, CSS, and JavaScript without needing app store approval, ensuring critical updates are deployed swiftly. The native versioning feature restricts updates based on minimum, maximum, or equivalent native app versions, ensuring binary compatibility. Previously available only in the Appflow dashboard, this functionality can now be automated using the new CLI command, offering greater control over builds, deploys, and live updates. The Ionic Cloud CLI supports Appflow Standard and Enterprise accounts, and provides detailed documentation for its commands, encouraging teams to optimize their deployment processes.
