Move to production

Deploying to production involves making your project available to your end users while maintaining a secure working environment for future updates.

This is the first step required when exporting or publishing your application.

Before you begin

1. Have tested your project in PandaSuite Studio and through PandaSuite Viewer.
2. Have an active Publishing plan (Web / Single / Multi / Full).

Understanding the concept

Learn about the technical terms used by PandaSuite:

• App: the distributed shell (IPA, APK, EXE file, or web URL).
• Project: the content created in PandaSuite Studio.
• Development version: the version of your project you are working on in PandaSuite Studio.
• Production version: the frozen copy visible to users.

Deploying to production allows you to move the development version of your project within the application. It then becomes the production version.

Create or select the application

1. Open your dashboard › Apps.
2. Click the + to create an app or select an existing one.
3. Enter the name and icon (you can modify these later).

Link the project to the application

1. From the interface, click Link a Project.

2. Choose your project from the list.
3. Confirm: it immediately appears in the app’s project grid.
4. PandaSuite creates the production version: a blue badge indicates the project is up to date!

Distribute the application

Depending on your plan, several formats are accessible in the interface:

Platform	Quick Action	Documentation
Web	Activate the Web App to generate a URL or Export ZIP	Publish to the Web • Export a ZIP File
iOS / Android	Export IPA / APK / AAB	Deploy an iOS App • Publish an Android App
Windows / MacOS	Export EXE / DMG	Export an EXE File

Update after publishing

1. Continue your modifications in PandaSuite Studio (development version).
2. Save; the blue Deploy to Production button reappears in the dashboard.
3. Click again when you’re ready.
