  • 1.  MAS 9.1 Mobile Deployment Approach

    Posted 05/13/26 04:35 AM

    In mas 9.1, mobile deployment works through the UI. Additionally, if I update the files in azure file share, refresh the application and publish the changes, it works as expected.
    However, I need to automate this process without using the UI, I have tried multiple approaches, but none have worked so far.
    Has anyone successfully automated mobile deployment using cli, APIs or any other method?
    Any guidance or best practices would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Kalpana,

    Bartosz Marchewka actually published a LinkedIn article about that and shared the code in bmarchewka/mas-maftool-app-publish GitHub repository.
    @Bartosz Marchewka do you want to fill in?

    Hi,

    Thank you @Andrzej Więcław for referencing the solution I wrote.

    I just wanted to only add that today I pushed to this GitHub additional improvements for the script that is dedicated for MAS9.1.

    Hi @Bartosz Marchewka,

    A big thank you for sharing your article:
    https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/how-automate-publication-process-custom-changes-ibm-mas-marchewka-u3mpf/

    I used your approach as the base and extended it to build an Azure DevOps pipeline solution for MAS mobile deployments. I'm happy to share that it's now working successfully in our environment.

    Also, I really appreciate your support - you were easily reachable on LinkedIn and very helpful whenever I had questions. That made a big difference in getting this implemented smoothly.

    Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and for your guidance!

    Best regards,
    Kalpana

    Bartosz example is good if you need a true CI/CD where you are selectively promoting changes between environments. In that scenario each environment potentially needs a unique build, so you need to build & publish the changes. In the scenario that you want to take what you did in DEV and promote to TEST, QA, and PROD, you can take the packaged zip & upload via the REST API. This ensures you have an identical version deployed to each environment. This approach is documented here: Migrating applications for Application Configuration 9.0 and earlier - IBM Documentation
