Mobile App Delivery Mobile apps are at the forefront of continuous delivery. It is not uncommon to look at one’s mobile device and find tens of apps that have new updates on a weekly basis. However, delivering mobile apps is not as straightforward as delivering web apps or SaaS offerings.

Centralized governance for mobile provisioning profiles, certificates, and API keys: Whether to submit an app to an app store or to use an API provided by an internal or external application, a developer or organization identifies the authenticity and ownership of an app via a vendor-issued provisioning or profile key. These keys serve as the authorization pass to the store or API. Typically, individual developers get their own keys that they use for development purposes. However, when the final app is released, steps need to be taken to remove all these personal keys and replace them with the official organizational keys. There have been instances where organizations have had major issues, and even had to withdraw apps, either because official apps were released without replacing personal developer keys with organizational keys or because the organizational keys or profiles were released publicly, or for both reasons. The organizational keys and profiles need to be protected and only used for official app releases. Mobile governance processes for key and profile management must be well defined and tightly controlled. Above all, restricting access to organizational keys and profiles is critical, as it is both a security and a privacy issue that requires strict governance.
