Deploy your application

This guide assumes you already have a working Pear application and want to cut a production release that other peers can install and update from. It points at the canonical desktop flow today; mobile and headless variants will land here as their tooling stabilizes.

Desktop

Use this guide when you already have a desktop app and want to ship a production build with a reproducible Pear release flow.

1. Open the Hello Pear Electron production build flow.
2. Follow the flow end to end on your app:
   • Build distributables for your target platforms.
   • Build a deployment directory from those distributables.
   • Stage, then provision, then multisig for production.
3. Verify the release:
   • Install the resulting build on a second machine.
   • Confirm the app boots and receives updates from the intended release line.
   • Confirm rollback/redeploy works for one previous build.
