Pgyer蒲公英

Pgyer (蒲公英) is a Chinese mobile app distribution and quality assurance platform founded in July 2014 in Shenzhen, China. The service enables app developers to upload Android, iOS, or HarmonyOS installation packages and generate QR code distribution links for beta testing without App Store review. As of mid-2026, the platform serves over 6 million registered developers globally across 221 countries and territories, having facilitated distribution of more than 20 million app packages. Key supplementary services include: UDID extraction for iOS enterprise certificates, iOS signing certificate health checks, bulk upload to approximately 20 Chinese Android app stores, compatibility testing covering 95% of market-share devices, privacy compliance scanning, and crowd-sourced bug exploration testing with 48-hour report delivery. Pgyer supports API 2.0 integration and plugins for Jenkins and Fastlane, allowing CI/CD pipelines to automate package distribution. The company timeline shows: July 2014 spin-off from parent company; September 2015 seed funding from InnoAngel Fund and ChuangGu; May 2016 launch of Tracup bug tracking tool (later expanded to enterprise tier in November 2018); May 2020 debut of Seed knowledge base and CodeFever code repository; August 2021 launch of privacy compliance detection and open enterprise services platform. In 2021, Pgyer achieved 99.99% data reliability SLA for cloud storage with automatic failover across multiple network carriers. Direct competitors include fir.im (now defunct), Wandoujia cloud testing, and Tencent mta. However, Pgyer's longevity since 2014, comprehensive toolchain integration, and 24/7 distribution infrastructure have cemented its market position as the most widely adopted beta testing platform among Chinese mobile developers.
