Make Native App with VoltBuilder
(Redirected from Build Native App)
Under the Run menu, there is an option called “Make Native App with VoltBuilder”. Once you have tested your project, use this option to submit your app to VoltBuilder. The compilers and SDKs to build native apps are large and complex: using a server to perform these operations saves you a lot of grief installing and maintaining them.
Use of VoltBuilder is included with your AppStudio subscription.
After you submit your app, 'Get VoltBuilder Build Status' opens automatically.
The screen updates automatically every 3 seconds. The possible Status values are:
| busy indicator | The app has been submitted to VoltBuilder and is being processed there. |
| error | The build was unsuccessful. An error message will show, usually with a suggestion of what to do to fix it. |
| complete | The app is ready and can be downloaded from the Download Link. |
Completed builds have their download links listed.
Some useful notes
- Scan the QR Code to quickly install your new app onto a Android device.
- The program name and your icon will be taken from your project properties.
- Other VoltBuilder options are set up in the VoltBuilder section in your project’s properties.
- iOS will not build until Apple’s signing information has been entered. You will need to join Apple's Developer program to do this.
- iOS apps and Android release apps will need signing certificates. You can generate them using VoltSigner.
- Add the information about the signing certificates to VoltBulder Project Properties.
- Put the actual certificate and mobileprovision files in the certificates folder in your project.
