How to Secure Android & iOS Apps in Jenkins CI/CD

Last updated April 3, 2024 by Appdome

The Appdome Build-2Secure plugin for Jenkins CI/CD pipelines is an out-of-the-box Jenkins CI/CD integration, making it easy for mobile developers to automate the building, signing, and certification of security, anti-fraud, and other protections in Android & iOS apps. This can be achieved without the need for additional code or SDKs.

The purpose of Appdome’s Build-2Secure plugin for Jenkins is to streamline and accelerate cyber and anti-fraud delivery in CI/CD pipelines. To do this, the Build-2Secure plugin for Jenkins automates three important steps in delivering more secure mobile applications to your users fast:

(1) Building app-level protections into mobile apps.

(2) Code-signing the protected mobile app.

(3) Certifying the security of each protected mobile app.

The Appdome Build-2Secure plugin for Jenkins can be used to deliver Certified Secure™ mobile app security, anti-fraud, anti-malware, mobile anti-bot, and other cyber defense updates to mobile apps on the Appdome Cyber Defense Automation Platform. It can function as a stand-alone DevSecOps integration or in tandem with other DevSecOps integrations in your CI/CD pipeline.

For more general information on this plugin, see Managing Plugins on the Jenkins website.

Below are the step-by-step instructions on how to use the Appdome Build-2Secure plugin for Jenkins.

    If you want to learn more about file paths read the description below, otherwise, proceed to the next step.

File Paths
When working with files, you can set the files in any of the following methods:
– Provide the full path to the file, which should be located on the node machine.
– Use environment variables with the Environment Injector plugin or Configure the node machine settings in Jenkins.
– Set a remote URL link to a file either on the configuration page or as an environment variable.

For instructions on how to set environment variables, see Appendix A: How to Set Environment Variables.

Warning
When using the configuration form, any input that has the same field as an environment variable (e.g., keystore’s path) will take precedence, i.e., it will override the environment variable. Therefore, to ensure proper use of the environment variable input, you must verify that these variables are unique and do not also appear in the configuration form.

- - - Use the iOS/Android application field to choose any of the following options:
      - Specify the full path to the application file on the node where it is running
      - Set the environment variable name as APP_PATH. If an environment variable is defined, leave the <platform> application field (i.e.: Android application or iOS application) empty.
      - Set a remote URL link to a file either on the configuration page or as an environment variable named APP_PATH.
        Note: The URL link should not contain any commas.
    - Use the keystore file field to choose any of the following options:
      - Specify the full path to the keystore file on the node where it is running
      - Set the environment variable name KEYSTORE_PATH. If an environment variable is defined, leave the keystore field empty.
      - You can set a remote URL link to a file either on the configuration page or as an environment variable named KEYSTORE_PATH.
        Note: The link should not contain any commas.
    - Use the Provisioning Profile field under iOS signing, and choose any of the following options:
      - Specify the full path to the provisioning profile file(s) on the node where it is running, can add as many files as needed, each file on a new textbox
      - You can set a remote URL link to a file either on the configuration page or as an environment variable named MOBILE_PROVISION_PROFILE_PATHS. If an environment variable is defined, leave the Provisioning Profile field empty.
      - Set the environment variable name as MOBILE_PROVISION_PROFILE_PATHS, to insert multiple files in an environment variable, each file must be separated by ‘,’ without any spaces.
        For example: First_file.mobileprovision, second_file.mobileprovision, third_file.mobileprovision…
    - Use the Entitlements field under iOS signing, and choose any of the following options:
      - Specify the full path to the entitlement file(s) on the node where it is running, can add as many files as needed, each file on a new textbox
      - Set the environment variable name as ENTITLEMENTS_PATHS
      - You can set a remote URL link to a file either on the configuration page or as an environment variable named ENTITLEMENTS_PATHS.
        To insert multiple files in an environment variable, each file must be separated by ‘,’ without any spaces.
        For example: First_file.plist,second_file.plist,third_file.plist…
    - Use the Sign Method field to choose the method by which you want to sign your application. The options available will depend on the platform you have.
      The available sign options are:
      - For Android:
        
        Sign on Appdome – for further information, follow the instructions specified in the Knowledge Base article

- To use the fusionSetId field, replace ‘<YOUR_FUSIONSET_ID>‘ with the appropriate fusion-set-id for your iOS or Android application. For details, see the section Getting a Fusion Set’s ID in the API guide. If you want to learn more about file paths, read the description below; otherwise, proceed to the next step.

For instructions on how to set environment variables, see Appendix A: How to Set Environment Variables.

- - - To use the appPath field
      - Replace ‘<FULL_PATH_OR_URL_TO_APP_FILE>‘ with the full path on the node machine.
      - Specify a full path to the file as an environment variable named APP_PATH. If using the environment variable, leave appPath empty.
      - Replace ‘<FULL_PATH_OR_URL_TO_APP_FILE>’ with a remote URL link to a file either on the pipeline page or as an environment variable named APP_PATH. If using the environment variable, leave appPath empty.
        Note: The URL link must not contain any commas.
    - To use the keystorePath field under auto signing for iOS and Android.
      You can choose one of the following options:
      - Replace ‘<FULL_PATH_OR_URL_TO_KEYSTORE_FILE>‘ with the full path to the keystore file on the node where it is running.
      - Specify the full path to the file as environment variable name KEYSTORE_PATH. If using the environment variable, leave keystorePath empty.
      - Replace ‘<FULL_PATH_OR_URL_TO_KEYSTORE_FILE>‘ with a remote URL link to a file either in the pipeline page or as an environment variable named KEYSTORE_PATH.
        Note: The URL link should not contain any commas.
  - - To use the provisioningProfiles field under iOS signing. If you insert multiple files, each path to a file must be wrapped with “StringWarp” as shown in the template.
      You can select any of the following options:
      - Replace ‘<FULL_PATH _OR_URL_TO_MobileProvision_FILE>‘ with the full path to provisioning profile file(s) on the node where it is running. You can add as many files as needed, each path to a file must be wrapped with “StringWarp” as shown in the template.
      - Replace ‘<FULL_PATH _OR_URL_TO_MobileProvision_FILE>‘ with a remote URL link to a file either on the pipeline page or as an environment variable named MOBILE_PROVISION_PROFILE_PATHS. If using the environment variable, leave provisioningProfiles empty.
        Note: The URL link should not contain any commas.
      - Specify a full path to the file as environment variable name MOBILE_PROVISION_PROFILE_PATHS. If using the environment variable, leave provisioningProfiles empty.
        To insert multiple files as an environment variable, each file must be separated by ‘,’ without any spaces.
        For example:
        First_file.mobileprovision, second_file.mobileprovision, third_file.mobileprovision
        or:
        https://url_to_download/first_file.mobileprovision, https://url_to_download/second_file.mobileprovision, https://url_to_download/third_file.mobileprovisionNote: You can combine URL links with the complete path to local files stored on the node machine.
    - To use the entitlements field under iOS signing
      If you insert multi files, each path to a file must be wrapped with “StringWarp” as shown in the template.
      You can select any of the following options:
      - Replace ‘<FULL_PATH _OR_URL_TO_entitlements_FILE#i>‘ with the full path to entitlement file(s) on the node where it is running, you can add as many files as needed, each path to a file must be wrapped with “StringWarp” as shown in the template.
      - Replace ‘<FULL_PATH _OR_URL_TO_entitlements_FILE#i>‘ with a remote URL link to a file either on the pipeline page or as an environment variable named ENTITLEMENT_PATHS. If using the environment variable, leave entitlements empty.
        Note: The URL link should not contain any commas
      - Specify a full path to the file as environment variable name ENTITLEMENT_PATHS as explained above. If using the environment variable, leave entitlements empty.
        To insert multiple files as an environment variable, each file must be separated by ‘,’ without any spaces.
        For example:
        First_file.plist,second_file.plist,third_file.plist
        or:
        https://url_to_download/first_file.plist, https://url_to_download/second_file.plist, https://url_to_download/third_file.plist
        Note: You can combine URL links with the complete path to local files stored on the node machine.
    - To use the outputLocation field
      If you leave outputLocation empty, the default value is set to:
      ‘WORKSPACE/output/appdome_name_of_original_app.aab/.apk/.ipa’
      If you would like to save the output of the build and secured application in a different location, replace ‘<FULL_PATH_TO_OUTPUT_APP_OR_EMPTY_FOR_DEFAULT>‘ with the full path of the application example: <your_path/name_of_original_app’.aab/.apk/.ipa>.
      The certified secure document will also be saved to this location.
    - If the ‘Obfuscate App Logic’ option was selected for Android fusion set, the ‘Deobfuscation_Mapping_Files.zip’ will be automatically downloaded to the same location as the protected application, and it will be named ‘Deobfuscation_Mapping_Files.zip’.
  - Build with logs: Build your app with diagnostic logs. To enable build to test, go to the pipeline inside the AppdomeBuilder section and choose:

buildWithLogs: true

If you don’t want to use ‘buildWithLogs’, you can either omit this parameter or set its value to ‘false’.

buildWithLogs: false

- - Build to Test: Allows automated testing of Appdome Secured Apps within standard DevOps testing suites. To utilize it, specify the supported Testing Service and use this syntax:

Note: It is not designed for individual device testing.

buildToTest: [selectedVendor: '<VENDOR_NAME>' ]

Insert the relevant <VENDOR_NAME> from the list:

SAUCELABS

BITBAR

LAMBDATEST

BROWSERSTACK

Note: Only Saucelabs is supported for iOS.

- - Second Output (.aab apps only): To sign the second output, specify a set path where the subsequent .apk file will be downloaded. Make sure to specify a full path for the application. To utilize it, enter the following syntax:

secondOutput: StringWarp('<PATH_TO_SECOND_OUTPUT>.apk')

The <PATH_TO_SECOND_OUTPUT> represents the full path for the application.
For example: <your_path/second_output>.apk

Note: This option is relevant only for apps signed either with Appdome Auto Sign or Private Sign. It is not applicable to Auto-Dev Private Signed apps.

All parameters within the pipeline template must be situated within the AppdomeBuilder section. Below is a comprehensive example that includes all the parameters:

This example Android_AutoDevSign includes a second output parameter and is for illustrative purposes only.

Scripts are not allowed to use “staticMethod hudson.util.Secret fromString java.lang.String”. Administrators can choose to approve or reject this signature.
Clicking the hyperlink takes you to a new page where you can approve the script. To proceed with your pipeline build, make sure you approve the script by clicking the Approve button.

Step 4: Build Android & iOS security with the Build-2Secure plugin

After setting up the Build-2Secure plugin for Jenkins, you can initiate the build process in Jenkins. Once the build is complete, you can access its output by navigating to the “workspace“.

Workspace

The Appdome Build-2Secure will automatically verify the request sent from Jenkins and add the mobile app security, anti-fraud, and other protections to your Android and/or iOS mobile app as specified in the Fusion Set associated with this app. After the build process is finished, the protected application will be accessible at the designated Output Location that you defined in the Build-2Secure plugin setup. Alternatively, if you left the location as default, you can just go to your job and click on Workspace to find the output folder that contains the Appdome secured application.

Congratulations, you can now use your secured mobile app.

Step 5: Retrieve DevSecOps Certification with Build-2Secure

Each build produces a Certified Secure™ artifact used to clear your release and ensure DevSecOps compliance. This file will be located in the designated Output Location that you defined in the Build-2Secure plugin setup. Alternatively, if you left the location as default, you can just go to your job and click on Workspace to find the output folder that contains the Appdome secured application

Step 6: Confirming Cyber Build and Sign on Appdome

In Jenkins, you can monitor the build process and results by checking the following sections:

- - - Build History
      Displays the status and result of each build.
    - Console Output
      Provides detailed information about the build process and any errors or warnings that may have occurred.
