buildtree docs

buildtree is a mobile build distribution service. Upload an Android .apk or an iOS .ipa and buildtree gives it an install link and a QR code. Testers, stakeholders or friends open the link on their phone and install the app. There is no app store review and, on public projects, no tester account.

buildtree does not build your app. You build it the way you already do (locally, in CI, with eas build --local, Fastlane or Xcode) and upload the file. It works with Expo, React Native, Flutter, and native iOS and Android.

You can upload four ways: drag the file into the dashboard, use the CLI (npm install -g @buildtree/cli), publish from GitHub Actions, or ask an AI coding agent through the MCP server.
