Create an App

Create App from the HockeyApp Dashboard

Drag & Drop

Drag your build from a Finder or Explorer window and drop it onto the dashboard. The upload will start immediately and the progress is shown with a progress bar. When the upload is finished, the status will change to "Processing" and afterwards you are redirected to the version page (or to a dropdown to select your account if you are a member of an organization).

Please note that HockeyApp always creates an app with the type "beta" if you create an app through drag & drop.

Manual Entry

Click on the blue "New App" button, then on the link "manually". Fill out the form and press "Save". Make sure that you select the right platform, it can't be changed afterwards.

After the app has been created, you can edit it's details by clicking on the "Manage App" button.
