Over-the-air iOS & Android build distribution.
Upload your signed .ipa or .apk binary. DropOnAir extracts package metadata, generates the Apple itms-services manifest, and gives you a direct QR code and short install link.
Select or drop an .ipa or .apk file to inspect
Reads Info.plist or AndroidManifest.xml directly in your browser
How DropOnAir Works
Three steps from compiled binary to over-the-air device installation.
Select .IPA or .APK Binary
Drop your build file in the dashboard. Version string, build number, bundle identifier, and minimum OS version are parsed automatically before upload begins.
Direct S3 & Manifest Generation
Files upload directly to AWS S3 with 5MB multipart chunking. For iOS builds, DropOnAir generates and hosts the HTTPS manifest.plist required by Safari.
Share QR or Short Link
Send droponair.saasscale.in/d/slug or display the QR code. Testers scan with their device camera to install immediately without cables.
