Comparing the Upload Methods
| Method | When to Use | Entry Point |
|---|---|---|
| Website | One-off uploads and manual releases, works in both desktop and mobile browsers | The Publish button on the Pgyer website |
| Desktop client | Mac users who publish frequently | Desktop client download page |
| Open API | Hooking uploads into CI/CD or automated release pipelines | Upload API docs |
| Mini program | Quickly uploading and distributing from a phone | Mini program entry page |
Upload via the Website
Click Publish in the Pgyer top navigation to open the upload page. If you already have an installer (.ipa or .apk), start the upload in either of these ways:
- Click Upload Now and pick the file;
- Drag the file onto the dashed drop zone.
Fill in the app information as prompted to complete the release.
Set App Information
Once the upload finishes you land on the App Information page. Pgyer parses these fields from the installer automatically, and you can edit any of them:
- App name
- Bundle ID / Package Name
- App signing type
- App icon
- App description (if present in the installer)
- App screenshots (if present in the installer)
Confirm everything looks right and click Add App to finish.
Upload via the Desktop Client
Pgyer provides a macOS desktop client for users who publish frequently. Grab the installer from the desktop client download page.
Upload via the Open API
The upload API lets you bake Pgyer into your build scripts or CI/CD pipeline for fully automated releases. See the upload API reference for details.
Upload via the Mini Program
The Pgyer mini program lets you upload and distribute directly from your phone. Scan the QR code or open the mini program entry page.
Create a Placeholder App
If you don't have an installer on hand yet, you can create a blank app as a placeholder. On the My Apps page click Add Blank App to open the creation screen.
Blank apps can't be installed — they only exist as placeholders. Upload an installer later to activate the app.
