The following steps allow organizations to automatically scan pre-production releases of their mobiles mobile apps using existing developer tools and processes. DevOps can fully automate the SDLC by integrating our API to existing CI/CD tools such as Travis CI, Jenkins, Bitrise, fastlaneFastlane, Xcode server, etc.

Quickstart guide

The Upload API can be used to upload PreProd mobile binaries directly to Data Theorem for scanning. The full documentation is available at: https://datatheorem.github.io/PortalApi/upload_api.html.

Step 1:

...

Retrieving the Upload API key

First, you will need to retrieve your organization's Upload API key from the portal, at https://www.securetheorem.com/devsecops/sdlc/api_access within the “API Key” section:

Configuring an upload step in CI/CD

Most CI/CD systems (Travis CI, Bitrise, CircleCI, etc.) allow running a bash script as a step within the CI pipeline. A new step should be added at the end of your existing mobile pipeline to upload the signed application binary (APK or IPA) to Data Theorem.

...

#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Fail if any commands fails
set -ex

maxRetries=3
for (( retry = 0; retry < maxRetries; retry++ ))
do
  # Step 1: get the upload URL
  echo "Get upload url"
  step1_response=$(curl -s -w "%{http_code}" -X POST -H "Authorization: APIKey ${DT_UPLOAD_API_KEY}"  --data ""  https://api.securetheorem.com/uploadapi/v1/upload_init)
  http_code=${step1_response: -3}
  response_body=${step1_response::-3}

  # For older versions of bash e.g. GNU bash, version 3.2.57(1)-release (x86_64-apple-darwin21)
  # response_body=${step1_response%???}
  # http_code=${step1_response#${response_body}}

  # Check that http status code is 200
  [ ! ${http_code} -eq 200 ] && echo ${response_body} && exit 1
  upload_url=$(echo ${response_body} | jq -r ".upload_url")
  echo ${upload_url}

  # Step 2: upload the APK
  echo "Upload app"
  step2_response=$(curl -F file=@${SIGNED_BINARY_PATH} ${upload_url}) && echo ${step2_response} && break
done

if [ ${retry} -ge ${maxRetries} ]; then
  echo "Upload failed after ${maxRetries} attempts"
  exit 1
fi

It is possible to specify optional data elements with the submission.  Optional parameters include

• test credentials (username and password) to be used during the dynamic analysis of the application
• release_id and external_id to help you identify this application and build
• platform variant for iOS applications
• and more

For more information on the available optional data elements, please see the Upload API documentation.  You can add one or more -F "key=value" blocks to the curl command used in Step 2.  For example, if you would like to submit test credentials for dynamic testing and the external id of the app, you can modify the Step 2 curl command as follows, while keeping the rest of the script unchanged.

step2_response=$(curl -F file=@${SIGNED_BINARY_PATH} -F "username=test" -F "password=${TEST_PASSWORD}" -F "external_id=12345" ${upload_url}) && echo ${step2_response} && break

Once the CI/CD uploads are enabled, pre-production scans will be completed automatically. Please note:
