Appknox integration

How to integrate your workflows with Appknox using codemagic.yaml

Appknox is a mobile application security testing solution that can be integrated into your Codemagic CI/CD pipelines to run security checks for your applications.

Configuring Appknox in Codemagic

Signing up with Appknox here is required to be able to generate your personal access token in the Appknox UI. After receiving the token, follow the steps below:

1. Open your Codemagic app settings, and go to the Environment variables tab

2. Enter the desired Variable name, e.g. APPKNOX_ACCESS_TOKEN

3. Enter the required value as Token value

4. Enter the variable group name, e.g. appknox_credentials

5. Make sure the Secure option is selected

6. Click the Add button to add the variable

7. Add the variable group to your codemagic.yaml file

     environment:
       groups:
         - appknox_credentials

8. Adding the following scripts in codemagic.yaml will allow you to start the security scanning process in the the Appknox environment:

  - name: Appknox binary installation
    script: curl -L https://github.com/appknox/appknox-go/releases/latest/download/appknox-`uname -s`-x86_64 > /usr/local/bin/appknox && chmod +x /usr/local/bin/appknox 

Make sure that the following script is executed in the post-build script (after your app binary is built):

  - name: Upload binary to Appknox
    script: appknox upload PATH_TO_APP_BINARY

It is also possible to check if the scanner detected any vulnerability risk levels by executing the following command:

  - name: Check vulnerability risk level
    script: appknox cicheck <file-id> --risk_threshold <low|medium|high|critical>
