Cordova VoltBuilder Tools

VoltBuilder builds Android and iOS apps from HTML based projects. These tools uploads your project to the VoltBuilder servers, which generate a native executable. You can either download it yourself, or have it automatically uploaded to the Android Play Store or the the iTunes Store.

No Mac is needed - the tools work wherever VS Code is supported. No libraries or SDKs need to be installed either: don't worry about installing Xcode or Android Developer Tools, nor any of their dependancies.

Android debug builds are free. To build for release or for iOS, you will need to get a VoltBuilder API key, available here: https://volt.build/plan/

Once you have installed the Tools, go to the Settings to supply the API key.

To make a build, go to the Command Palette and choose "Build with VoltBuilder" and follow the prompts on the screen.
