We release iOS + Android weekly (104 releases/year). Our release process has several pain points that slow us down and create risk:
- No centralized release visibility — release status, rollout percentage, and health are scattered across Play Console, App Store Connect, and Crashlytics. There's no single place to see "where are we?"
- No automated crash response — if a bad build ships Friday, it can reach 100% of users before anyone checks Monday. We have no auto-halt.
- Android rollouts are manual — iOS has auto staged rollout, but Android requires someone to manually advance percentages in Play Console. A centralized tool handles both platforms in one place.
- iOS release coordination overhead — iOS team manually spins off release branches and manages Asana release projects every cycle. Repetitive weekly work that a tool can automate.
