+### How do I manage Android dependencies with artifactory repository manager?
+
+Integrating an Artifactory repository manager into your Android build process is a robust approach to centralizing dependency management, improving build reliability, and ensuring reproducibility. Below, we’ll demonstrate this process using [**Nexus Repository Manager**](https://www.sonatype.com/products/sonatype-nexus-repository) as an example in conjunction with the Appcircle **Android Build** workflow step.
+
+#### 1. Set up Nexus repository
+
+- Ensure your Nexus Repository Manager is properly installed and configured. For hosted installations, follow the [official Nexus documentation](https://help.sonatype.com/repomanager3) to set up your Maven or Gradle repositories.  
+- Create a hosted Maven repository (or any repository format compatible with your project). Name the repository, for example, `android-repo`.
+
+#### 2. Integrate Nexus into the Android project
+
+In your Android project’s build.gradle (or settings.gradle if using Gradle Version Catalog), configure Nexus as a repository.
+Example of deploying a dependency with Gradle:  
+
+```gradle
+repositories {
+    maven {
+        url 'https://your-nexus-url/repository/android-repo/'
+    }
+}
+```
+
+If the URL requires authentication for access, you can configure it as shown below:
+
+```gradle
+repositories {
+    maven {
+        url 'https://your-nexus-url/repository/android-repo/'
+        credentials {
+            username = "your-username"
+            password = "your-password"
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+To update your Gradle distribution URL with a Nexus repository, modify your `gradle-wrapper.properties` file and replace the `distributionUrl` value with the Nexus repository URL. Below is an example:  
+
+```gradle
+distributionUrl=https://your-nexus-url/repository/gradle-distributions/gradle-8.8-bin.zip
+```
+
+#### 3. Run the build workflow
+
+Trigger your build through Appcircle. The workflow will fetch dependencies from the Nexus repository as configured and compile the project with them. Logs will show dependency resolution status to confirm successful integration with Nexus.

+
+### How do I manage iOS dependencies with artifactory repository manager?
+
+Integrating an Artifactory repository manager into your iOS build process is a robust approach to centralizing dependency management, improving build reliability, and ensuring reproducibility. Below, we’ll demonstrate this process using **Nexus Repository Manager** as an example in conjunction with the Appcircle **CocoaPods Install** workflow step. Please ensure your Nexus Repository Manager is properly installed and configured. For more information, please visit the [official Nexus documentation](https://help.sonatype.com/repomanager3).
+
+:::caution Authentication Requirements
+
+If you are using this kind of artifactory and need to authorize the repository it contains, you can do this with the [**Authenticate with Netrc**](/workflows/common-workflow-steps/authenticate-with-netrc) step or by using a [**Custom Script**](/workflows/common-workflow-steps/custom-script) and adding the credentials to the `.gitcredentials` file.
+
+:::
+
+For more information about Nexus integration with CocoaPods, please visit the [Nexus CocoaPods documentations](https://help.sonatype.com/en/cocoapods-repositories.html).
+
+#### Example 1: How can I fetch the all dependencies from Nexus with CocoaPods?
+
+In the **CocoaPods Install** step, in order to pull dependencies from Nexus or another artifactory, you need to make some changes in the `Pods` file. For this, the `source url` value of the `Pods` file in the project must be replaced with the relevant artifactory. A short example is shown in the following bash script.
+
+```bash
+
+platform :ios, '13.0'
+source 'https://nexus.example.com/repository/cocoapods-specs.git'
+target 'MyApp' do
+
+use_frameworks!
+
+  pod 'AFNetworking', '~> 4.0'
+  pod 'Alamofire', '~> 5.4'
+
+end
+
+.
+.
+. #Other Pod file codes
+
+```
+
+#### Example 2: How can I fetch the all dependencies from different repositories?
+
+If you want to fetch a dependency from a source other than this artifactory, you can set up your `Pod` file as shown below. This `Pod` file will pull any pods that are explicitly referenced from the specified URL, while all other dependencies will be retrieved directly from the default `source URL`.
+
+```bash
+
+platform :ios, '13.0'
+source 'https://nexus.example.com/repository/cocoapods-specs.git'
+target 'MyApp' do
+
+use_frameworks!
+
+  pod 'AFNetworking', '~> 4.0'
+  pod 'Alamofire', '~> 5.4'
+  pod 'MyPrivatePod', :git => 'https://git.mycompany.com/MyPrivatePod.git', :branch => 'main'
+
+end
+
+.
+.
+. #Other Pod file codes
+
+```
+
+After these changes;
+
+- Trigger your build through Appcircle. The workflow will fetch dependencies from the Nexus repository as configured and compile the project with them.
+- Logs will show dependency resolution status to confirm successful integration with Nexus.
