No Mac required
Build from Windows, Linux, or a Chromebook. Apple Silicon M4 Pro runners handle Xcode, signing, and provisioning — you never touch a Mac mini.
Build and shipiOS apps without a Mac
Cloud builds on Apple Silicon M4 Pro, managed code signing, QR-code beta installs, and zero-click TestFlight releases — from any machine, any OS.
Trusted by iOS teams shipping to the App Store every week
Three reasons iOS teams pick Capawesome
One delivery platform that fits the way your iOS team already works — no mac mini to maintain, no Xcode lag, no TestFlight queue to wait on.
Latest Xcode in days
New stable Xcode releases land on Capawesome Cloud within days of Apple shipping them — not weeks or months, and pinnable per build.
Beyond TestFlight
Send a QR code and skip the review queue. Testers install a signed build in under a minute — perfect for QA, stakeholders, and investors.
Everything you need to ship iOS apps
Four products, one dashboard, one vault of credentials, one monthly bill — all tuned for iOS out of the box.
Native Builds
Signed IPAs on Apple Silicon M4 Pro. Parallel runners, fresh environments, and new Xcode available within days of Apple's release.
App Store Publishing
Publish to TestFlight and the App Store with one click. Encrypted App Store Connect credentials, zero manual upload, zero opened Xcode windows.
OTA Distribution
Share Development, Ad Hoc, and Enterprise installs over QR code or URL. No TestFlight processing, no email invitations, no Apple ID gymnastics.
Automations
Chain builds, TestFlight uploads, and stakeholder invites into one pipeline. Triggered on a merge, a tag, a cron — or from the CLI.
Managed signing
Upload your distribution certificate and provisioning profiles once. Every build is signed, provisioned, and ready for the store.
Custom build stacks
Pick the Xcode, Node, and CocoaPods versions you need — including Xcode betas. Pin per build or ride the latest managed default.
Apple Silicon M4 Pro, in the cloud. Every iOS build runs on dedicated M4 Pro Apple Silicon runners — provisioned in seconds, wiped between jobs, and tuned to finish before your Slack thread does.
M4 Pro runners provisioned fresh in under 15 seconds, sandboxed per build
Typical builds in 2–5 minutes, with 3–5× faster times than legacy Mac CI
Parallel runners so multiple builds or branches ship side by side
New Xcode within days of Apple's release — not weeks, not months
Code signing, on autopilot. Upload your distribution certificate and provisioning profiles once. The vault handles the rest — every build is signed, provisioned, and ready for the App Store with zero local commands.
Encrypted vault for every distribution certificate, provisioning profile, and App Store Connect key
Multiple identities per app for Ad Hoc, Enterprise, and App Store builds
Role-based access so developers ship debug and release managers ship production
Audit logs for every upload, build, and credential view — ready for compliance
Skip TestFlight with QR-code installs. TestFlight review is a real delay when a stakeholder needs the build now. Share a signed Development, Ad Hoc, or Enterprise link — testers install in under 60 seconds, no review queue.
QR code and install link generated on every signed iOS build
No TestFlight review queue, no 15–30 minute processing, no email invites
Development, Ad Hoc, or Enterprise profiles — every registered device
Viewer role for testers so QA sees builds without touching your keys

Our customers love Capawesome Cloud - find out why
We switched from Capgo to Capawesome Cloud a few months ago and so far we haven't looked back. With Capawesome Cloud, we have significantly less downtime, updates are delivered faster, and support is literally the best we have ever experienced. The integration was straightforward, and the documentation is clear and concise. Big thanks to the Capawesome team for creating such an awesome platform!
Clément Fradet Normand Co-Founder at Clovis
Capawesome Cloud has helped us reduce our live update costs by more than 90% while offering more features than our previous provider. The integration took us less than a day and the support is top-notch. We now deliver daily live updates to more than 200,000 devices without any issues.
Michael Wolz Head of Development at snapADDY GmbH
We tested and verified several solutions on the market to help us deliver OTA updates for our Apps quickly, securely and, most importantly, that were capable of scaling as we grew and demanded. Capawesome Cloud was our choice! The integration is super simple, we have automatic rollback and code signing to ensure the security of updates. The costs are transparent and honest, we are very happy with the platform and looking forward to integrating our future Apps!
Patrick A. Lima CEO at Nuinalp
Our Capacitor app had several unique requirements for running operations in the background. The Capawesome team was able to quickly understand our needs and crafted a customized Capacitor plugin that exceeded our expectations.
Christofer Huber CTO at WEBPUNKS GmbH
We had to use an Android and iOS SDK in our Capacitor app, for which no plugin existed. Capawesome was able to create a fully functional Capacitor plugin for us within a few days. The communication was excellent and the plugin works perfectly.
Daniel Ehrhardt CEO at Codext GmbH
Moving from Ionic Appflow to Capawesome Cloud has been a fantastic experience. We're very pleased with the product and genuinely impressed with what the team has built. The builds are significantly faster than Ionic Appflow, which is a nice improvement. We especially appreciate how the build process is separated from deployment—it has made debugging much easier and streamlined our entire workflow. The support has also been great. We hope to see even more users make the switch!
Karvan Jay Technical Director at Our Management Group Pty Ltd
Capawesome Cloud has been a game-changer for our team. We can now deploy updates to our Capacitor app without pushing to the app stores. This has saved us countless hours and allowed us to iterate faster. It's a must-have for any modern app development team.
Hugo Corta Tech Lead at Vitruve
We mainly use over-the-air (OTA) updates to deliver critical bug fixes and updates when waiting on the App Store review process is not an option. After dealing with too much down-time and latency from Capgo, we made the decision to switch to Capawesome Cloud and we couldn't be happier. Capawesome is more stable and the package delivery speeds are significantly faster, which makes a big difference at scale. Capawesome's team is extremely responsive and professional - thanks for supplying such a great product guys.
Jedidiah Weller World Builder at Summon Worlds
Capawesome Cloud has become an essential part of our release workflow. We mainly use it for over-the-air updates, allowing us to fix bugs and release updates quickly without waiting for the app review process. The integration was incredibly easy — it took us less than a day and felt almost plug-and-play. The support is excellent as well; the team is always helpful, responsive, and quick to reply.
