Automating App Store Pipelines with the Aqua API

If you manage more than one application, or if you release updates weekly, generating design assets becomes a major bottleneck. Doing this through a web browser for every version takes focus away from writing code. The best way to scale your release cycle is to treat assets as code and automate the generation step.

A modern mobile CI/CD pipeline handles testing, building, and code signing. Adding asset generation to this flow means you never have to worry about missing resolutions or outdated branding. Your build system can fetch the latest design assets from a source folder and generate the final packages during the build process.

The Aqua API makes this automation straightforward. You can create an API key in your dashboard, then call our endpoints to generate icons and screenshots directly from your terminal. Whether you use Fastlane, GitHub Actions, or custom bash scripts, you can integrate asset processing directly into your existing scripts.

By automating these visual assets, you ensure that every app update goes out with fresh, accurate screenshots and perfectly sized icons. You free up your team to focus on building features, knowing that your App Store presence is taken care of automatically.
