App Maker

App Maker

App Maker is Akinon's platform for building, releasing, and operating white-label mobile commerce apps for iOS, Android, and Huawei. From a single project you can manage store credentials, trigger native builds, distribute to the App Store and Google Play, ship over-the-air (OTA) updates with CodePush, and enforce mandatory upgrades with Force Update.
