VoltBuilder

VoltBuilder is a replacement for PhoneGap Build. It is a service which takes the files from a web app (such as those produced by AppStudio) and turns them into a native Android and iOS app.

VoltBuilder compared to PhoneGap Build

• Builds are made using XCode 11.3, so apps meet iTunes Connect requirements
• Signing keys are uploaded with the app and deleted as soon as the build is complete. They are not stored on the VoltBuilder site.
• Build times can be faster
• Resulting builds are smaller
• You can use the same signing keys as with PhoneGap Build
• As with PhoneGap, you do not need to install Xcode, Android Studio or anything else for it to work.
• As with PhoneGap, you can use a Windows or Mac computer.
