You are now able to fully Automate your APK Delivery within BuildFire! This is exciting news and will allow you to speed up your Publishing process significantly.

Time equals money. This is why all companies should treat time like gold. You and your staff spend countless hours doing endless tasks. This not only decreases their morale, and yours, but it also makes you feel overworked and overextended! Having a machine perform tasks for your APK will allow you and your team to spend time doing more important jobs.

The process itself is fairly simple and only takes a matter of minutes to set up. That said, you will need to operate in three different tabs for this exercise - The BuildFire Control Panel, Google Play Console & Google Cloud Console.

This Document will break the process down into several helpful snippets on how to implement it. If you should have questions, please reach out to support@buildfire.com and we will be happy to assist.
