Alpha Launch

Streamline Mobile App Testing and Deployment with Alpha Launch

We've built a platform for mobile app testing and deployment so you don't have to go through the complex process of provisioning profiles and submitting applications for review to public app stores.  The Alpha Launch app from Alpha Software® lets you download, manage, and run apps created with the Alpha Anywhere development system. Alpha Anywhere apps use HTML5 technology and can access native functionality using Cordova/PhoneGap.

Apps deployed to Alpha Launch are PhoneGap apps with full access to the device including the camera, file system, SQLite, audio and video recorder, bar code scanning, GPS etc. However, unlike PhoneGap apps, Alpha Anywhere applications can be published directly to Alpha Launch without submitting them to PhoneGap Build -- so not only do you bypass the App store, you also bypass the whole PhoneGap build process.

Alpha Launch is included at no extra charge with Alpha Anywhere.

In addition, the Alpha offers professional services to customize the application’s branding, plugins, and login functionality. Please fill in this form for more information on both the free and paid options.
