Search Releases #2595

Open wesselj2 opened 8 months ago

wesselj2 commented 8 months ago

Describe the solution you'd like As a user I would like to be able to search the list of distributed releases of my app. The searched term should be able to match the version, build number, or the release notes.

Describe alternatives you've considered The only alternative is for a developer to get the build number of their automated workflow and tell the QA to scroll and find that build.

Additional context We have a team of about 25 developers and 25 QAs. We end up with up to 40 distributed releases per day. We are trying to transition from Firebase distribution to App Center and one big issue we have currently is that the releases are not searchable. Builds are downloaded by QA, Designers, PMs and they all need to get the build number from the developer to know which build to install. We put the git branch or team name in the release notes of the release. It would be easier if a user could enter the branch name or team name to filter the builds by their release notes which contain the team name or branch name they are looking for.

Hello. I'm just checking to see if this feature request made it to the roadmap? My team keeps asking me about this feature. It would greatly improve their daily workflow.

would also like to add that we should be able to search on engineer that initiated the PR.

Even better, I think with a little bit of github actions setup, JIRA API and some scripting we could setup a way to link items to their ticket in JIRA and extract the build webURL from the files, convert it into a qr code, and add the QR code, web URL and PR link as a comment on the ticket --- thus giving real device testers an easy way to jump right to the build and simulator testers a way to see the build name.
