Beyond Containers: Docker-First Mobile Build Pipelines (Android and iOS) — End-to-End from Code to Artifact

Source: DZone DevOps

Introduction

In many mobile app shops, builds are still done locally (on dev laptops) or through fragile CI scripts. This leads to inconsistent builds, wasted hours onboarding developers, or debugging “but it worked on my machine” issues.

Using Docker — already popular for backend and microservices — can bring the same reproducibility and isolation benefits to mobile build pipelines.
