Building from your Private Github Repositories by Ryan Willoughby | 21 Sep 2012 | PhoneGap Build Blog So, all these socialist open-source evangelists make you want to punch a kitten and fire someone. You want your source code private. But you still want to pull your app from Github to PhoneGap Build (and build using open-source project PhoneGap). Well, now you can. Just link your PhoneGap Build account to your Github account, and you’ll be able to enter in a private Github repo url when creating a new app. In addition, we’ve simplified this process by having all your Github repo...

It’s a tool that delivers updates directly to your device while also significantly cutting down compile times during development. We accomplish this by compiling a native binary that acts as a container for your mobile application. Build uses heuristics to determine when a new binary needs to be generated resulting in a shorter compile time, less fumbling with downloads, easier... Read More...

Enhanced Icon and Splash Support by Hardeep Shoker | 30 Apr 2012 | PhoneGap Build Blog We’ve recently had a lot of discussion with users about icons and splash screens and how they make their way into apps. After some feeback we’ve revamped our icon and splash screen handling to provide a more consistent and expressive interface. Please note that you may need to update your config.xml file to continue having icon and splash support. Previously, we filtered icons and splash screen based on height and width properties provided in the config.xml file. However, we... Read More...

Access Tags by Andrew Lunny | 20 Mar 2012 | PhoneGap Build Blog There’s been some confusion over the behavior of external links in PhoneGap™ (and Adobe® PhoneGap™ Build) apps lately - when you click on a link, should it take over your entire app? Or should it open in the device’s browser? This is a bit of a tricky issue due to PhoneGap’s use of a whitelist for allowed domains - developers need to explicitly allow any domains from which resources can be loaded. In theory, this is a good idea; however, the PhoneGap/Apache Cordova... Read More...

ChildBrowser Plugin by Andrew Lunny | 21 Feb 2012 | PhoneGap Build Blog One of most highly demanded features on Adobe® PhoneGap™ Build has been support for PhoneGap Plugins, so we’re happy to announce official support for the popular ChildBrowser plugin for Android and iOS - more details can be found in the docs.
