VersionGate

A self-hosted, API-first service for managing mobile application releases and evaluating update policies.

VersionGate decides, given a client’s current version, whether a mobile app should continue normally, be notified that an update is available, or be required to update before continuing. It does not distribute application binaries — only release metadata and update policies.
