# Examples[¶](#examples "Permanent link")

Practical recipes using the [Capawesome CLI](/docs/cloud/cli/). Each one is a starting point you can adapt — see the [Command reference](/docs/cloud/cli/commands/) for the full set of options on any command.

## List your apps and builds[¶](#list-your-apps-and-builds "Permanent link")

To see what's in your account, list your apps, then the builds for one of them:

`[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-0-1)npx @capawesome/cli apps:list
[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-0-2)npx @capawesome/cli apps:builds:list --app-id "$APP_ID"
`

## Build a debug APK for Android[¶](#build-a-debug-apk-for-android "Permanent link")

For quick on-device testing, build a debug APK from a Git branch:

`[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-1-1)npx @capawesome/cli apps:builds:create --platform android --type debug --git-ref main
`

## Build an iOS app for the App Store[¶](#build-an-ios-app-for-the-app-store "Permanent link")

To produce a store-ready iOS build, use the `app-store` type with the matching signing certificate:

`[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-2-1)npx @capawesome/cli apps:builds:create --platform ios --type app-store --git-ref main
`

## Download a build artifact[¶](#download-a-build-artifact "Permanent link")

Once a build finishes, download its artifact to a local path:

`[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-3-1)npx @capawesome/cli apps:builds:download --apk ./app.apk
`

## Build your web app and publish a Live Update[¶](#build-your-web-app-and-publish-a-live-update "Permanent link")

To ship a web change over the air, build locally and upload the result to a channel:

`[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-4-1)npm run build
[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-4-2)npx @capawesome/cli apps:liveupdates:upload --channel production
`

## Roll back the latest Live Update[¶](#roll-back-the-latest-live-update "Permanent link")

If a release misbehaves, roll the channel back to the previous bundle:

`[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-5-1)npx @capawesome/cli apps:liveupdates:rollback --channel production
`

## Sign and publish a bundle[¶](#sign-and-publish-a-bundle "Permanent link")

To publish a signed bundle, pass your private key alongside the upload:

`[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-6-1)npx @capawesome/cli apps:liveupdates:upload --channel production --private-key private.pem
`

## Submit a build to a store[¶](#submit-a-build-to-a-store "Permanent link")

To submit an existing build to a configured destination, create a deployment:

`[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-7-1)npx @capawesome/cli apps:deployments:create --build-number 42 --destination my-destination
`

## Automate in CI[¶](#automate-in-ci "Permanent link")

Running these commands from a pipeline has its own considerations — token authentication, non-interactive flags, parsing JSON output, and waiting on builds. See [Scripting](/docs/cloud/cli/scripting/) for a complete walkthrough and a full build-and-deploy CI example.

## Next steps[¶](#next-steps "Permanent link")

* [Command reference](/docs/cloud/cli/commands/) — every command and option.
* [Scripting](/docs/cloud/cli/scripting/) — automate the CLI in scripts and CI.
* [Usage](/docs/cloud/cli/usage/) — global flags, JSON output, and exit codes.
* [Integrations](/docs/cloud/integrations/) — wire these recipes into your CI/CD provider.
