I have used Voltbuilder from the appstudio IDE for making APKs and they work fine for tests.
My question is this:
Assuming the service account and all configuration in google play and google cloud API is correct, does the IDE builds the app and uploads to the google play store or do I have to create the zip project folder (just as it was on the phonegap builder) for the purpose?
For my very own experience,if you already set up cloud and google configuration n have your voltsigner ready…[(1,upload .aab)you have to enter your version code and version.choose bundle in the Voltbuilder property.you have to set your voltsigner path(or you create your own).n have your google path name.then press …voltbuilder to build it] [(2,download .aab)you have to enter your version code and version.choose bundle in the Voltbuilder property.you have to set your voltsigner path(or you create your own).n empty your google path name.][(3,download .apk)choose apk in the Voltbuilder property.you have to set your voltsigner path(or you create your own).n empty your google path name.].choose one of option above. I prefer download .aab to my pc ,and drag and paste the .aab to the loadfile textarea in play console.as the error code is very clear. Best rdgs,tst
Forget to mention,for .aab ,you have to enter either beta,alpha,internal or production in your Voltbuilder propety.and for .aab download,you have to eg.for production,after download .aab,paste .aab at production choosefile textarea…
Yes, if you have everything set up right, VoltBuilder will upload to the Play Store as its last step.
Here’s some documentation from the VoltBuilder side.
“or create your own",means create your own keystore,remember to choose a recent keystore…
I currently managed to build with voltbuilder, it downloads the build. and then I upload it to google play by dragging and droppng. Also did all the steps in the google cloud API.
Yesterday I placed one android app on the internal testing phase.
But actually my question is if building in the appstudio IDE does the job or I have to create the file/folder structure in the operating system. (in other words: can I make the whole process within the IDE). There is no indication of this that I could find in the docs.
One step on the documentation you point me to refers to a voltbuilder.json that I don’t find anywhere within the folder structure that the IDE created, so I assumed I have to create all the folder structure and put files in place, zip it and somehow upload it to voltbuilder, just as if was with the deceased phonegap builder. Or at the very least, add the missing voltbuilder.json. But the options in the IDE project properties are strikingly similar to the voltbuilder example you provide, so I had to ask.
Thanks!
tst, that is what I did, drag to the play console. Thank you.
Yes, the AppStudio IDE can do this. Make sure you have Google Play Key and Google Play Track set in Project Properties…VoltBuilder and Cordova.
