Capgo Build
What it is
Capgo Build creates signed iOS and Android builds for Capacitor projects through a command-line workflow that can run from any machine. A build request can target either platform, sign the binary, and submit it to TestFlight or Google Play. Teams can also distribute builds directly with a QR code and download link. The workflow supports GitHub Actions, GitLab, and Bitbucket without interactive input. iOS and Android jobs run on Apple Silicon M4 Mac runners, with an average build time listed as 2–3 minutes. Signing credentials are sent over HTTPS to a temporary build environment and wiped when the job ends; logs stream to the terminal and are not retained on Capgo servers. Artifacts expire after one hour by default, configurable up to seven days. It supports Android product flavors and detects Cordova plugins in Capacitor projects, but does not build Expo projects. Plans start at $12/mo (annual), and a 14-day unlimited trial does not require a credit card.
