CI/CD tool helping mobile application developers— BuildPan
According to the researchers , there are approximately 5.8 million Android developers and 2.8 million IOS developers in the world and the number is expected to get 3 to 4 times by 2022. The demand of mobile applications in the market seen as a diversion of indiduals from web/laptops to mobile phones and apps. The reason is very simple easily accessible, on the go approach , solution to multiple problems in your hand.
The total number of mobile apps on the planet has now reached a massive 8.93 million, according to a new report from researchers. Interestingly, neither Google Play, the most important app store for Android, nor Apple’s App Store had the most new apps last year.
The Chinese mobile market now accounts for 40% of app spending, according to Researchers.
And that means China’s app stores are growing fast, hosting more apps, and capturing a larger share of new app creation. It also means that the top three app stores on the planet by new apps last year are probably ones you’ve never heard of: Apkgk, Apkpureco, and Androidappsapk.
They took in a combined 3.4 million new apps in 2019 as our global “supply” of mobile apps rose from 7.6 million to 8.9 million, an 18% jump.
Now the basic and a clear question is about — “How is china able to publish maximum number of apps?
Here comes a very crucial role of process automation!
Mobile App Development process automation- Buildpan
As the competetion and demand is increasing , building apps faster by automating the iterative processes is the most important thing as the developer need to focus on the productive side rather than just getting involved and wasting 60% of time in fixed processes.

- Deployment of apps on iTunes & Google playstore- Preparing .ipa and .apk is again a time consuming process and that too with quality code push is one of a tideous job , here buildpan auto-deploys the .ipa and .apk to the respective play stores making it time saving and productive for developer.
- Sending Build to QA and Bug Report- Manually installing build for QA team is time consuming and analysing the manual report received in excel formats creates difficulty in understanding to the developer , Buildpan provides complete log information of code and pin points the line of code of failure making QA process quick and efficient.
