Problem
Mobile release processes often rely on a patchwork of scripts, spreadsheets, and ad‑hoc Slack threads, causing poor visibility, frequent context‑switching, and manual coordination across version control, CI/CD, project management, and app‑store tools.
Solution
Runway provides a unified mobile release management platform that centralizes release status, automates repetitive tasks, and synchronizes communication among engineers, QA, product, and stakeholders. By integrating with version‑control systems, CI/CD pipelines, project‑management tools, and app‑store services, the platform orchestrates the entire release workflow—from branch cuts and version bumps to app‑store submissions and phased rollouts. Real‑time dashboards surface signals from all connected tools, while configurable notifications and Slack channel automation keep teams informed without extra effort. Built‑in automations and AI‑assisted checks reduce manual busywork, enable faster rollbacks, and improve release safety. The result is a faster, more reliable release cycle with less cognitive load on developers and release managers.
Target Audience
Runway is aimed at mobile engineering teams, release managers, QA leads, and product managers who need a coordinated, automated solution for iOS and Android app releases.
