About
Industry
- Mobile Application Development
Application Type
- CI/CD Automation Pipeline for Android Applications
Core Functionality
- Automated Android build and deployment using CI/CD pipelines
The client operates in the mobile application space and manages two Android applications. As the applications evolved, manual build and deployment workflows began to slow releases and increase the risk of errors.
The project focused on automating Android application build and deployment through a DevOps-driven CI/CD pipeline. The solution automated code fetching, build execution, APK generation, and deployment, replacing manual steps with a reliable, repeatable process. This ensured faster releases, reduced operational effort, and consistent deployment outcomes across application updates.
Results
DevOps automation delivering measurable gains in Android build and release efficiency
Build & Deployment Speed
80–85% reduction in build and deployment time after implementing Jenkins-based CI/CD automation
Manual Effort Reduction
90% decrease in manual intervention by eliminating repetitive and error-prone build steps
Error Rate Improvement
60–70% reduction in build and deployment errors caused by manual APK generation
Build Consistency
100% consistency achieved across environments through automated code fetching and APK generation
Their solution helped us ship updates faster with greater confidence.
Challenges
Why It Mattered
Manual Android build and deployment workflows introduce delays and risk. Automating the release pipeline enabled faster, more reliable, and cost-effective application delivery while reducing dependency on human intervention.
Our Approach-
We implemented a DevOps-led CI/CD automation strategy for Android applications.
Our Tools:
CI/CD
- Jenkins
Mobile Build Tools
- Android Studio SDK
Version Control
- GitHub
- GitLab
Build Environment
- Java 7.3.3
Deployment Platforms
- Google Play Store
- App Center
Before & After
The transition from manual processes to a fully automated CI/CD pipeline created measurable improvements across speed, accuracy, and deployment consistency.
| Feature / Metric | Before (Pre-Implementation | After (Post-Implementation) |
|---|---|---|
| Build Process | Manual build process | Automated build via Jenkins |
| Code Fetching | Manual code handling | Automatic fetch from GitHub/GitLab |
| Deployment | Manual APK deployment | Automated deployment to App Center / Play Store |
| Error Handling | Higher chances of human error | Reduced errors due to automation |
| Release Speed | Slower releases | Faster and consistent releases |
