Is it feasible to deploy an MDK app on Mobile Services via pipeline?

Hi MDK experts,

i'm from the team that develops the RTOP (Route Train Operations) app for S/4 HANA MFG LOG. We are now discussing possible forms of deployments for when the app will be released to customers in the future. If we would go with CI/CD with frequent releases we would like to have a robust pipeline with eventually automated deployments to the apps in Mobile Services.

Right now, we have set up a pipeline that is based on the pipeline from the Asset Manager Project. The pipeline automatically builds Android clients and all the usual MDK artifacts and puts them onto Nexus/Artifactory.

What would be the best possible way to do future deployments to Mobile Services from the pipeline? Would you say that is feasible with MDK apps right now? Are there maybe any other MDK projects that already do this?

Thanks very much in advance.

Hi Rene,

The official MDK tools NPM package (https://www.npmjs.com/package/@sap/mdk-tools) allows for publishing to Mobile Services and Cloud Foundry, so in principle you could integrate this into your pipeline deployments for the web apps.

Thanks

John
