Hello Donald,

Yes; the icon and other resources are not deleted/copied in order to save time/resources when compile an application. Also, the icon is a little special: since App Builder prepares the icon for various sizes/platforms, this preparation do not occur everytime we compile the application for the same reason: save time and resources when compile.

Maybe I can be more accurate in this, for example, I am thinking now in compare the icons' sizes, that is, not only test if the icon exists or not in the compiled application, but check first if the icons's size are the same, for example, in order to update it in a more accurate way. So yes, probably I need to review that mechanism one more time sir.

Hello Donald,

I need to review this when possible. Maybe a message can be show to the user indicating the icon relative path does not match a valid file, but retaining the relative path, in order to be useful when view it. For sure I want to review this when possible.

Hello Donald,

The behaviour can be explained since the app's icon path is saved relative to the application path, then, if we save the application with other name, but, in the same directory, then the icon do not dissapear. This occur because the app's options dialog check if the icon exists, then, if we save the application in other directory, the icon path is no more found relative to the application.

Said that, maybe a possible solution can be to maintain the icon path even when they cannot be found since they are no relative to the new application path and advert of this circumstance with a warning message.

What do you thing about Donald?

Hello Donald,

Take a look at the GetNetworkType action, which requires the Network plugin:

Hello codex,

Thanks for your interest and your kindly words. I want to answer you by reversing your question's order:

3º Maybe I need to indicate this in some way, but, the splash screen editbox buttons only works if you had previously saved the application. This is valid also for the application's icon, for example, and this is because the program try to establish this kind of stuff relative to the application and not using absolute paths. Then we can share the application or move it into another system without loss such paths.

2º Certainly you found a mistake with the "SelectDirectory" procedure, which is currently used in four program's places. I update App Builder right now and the mistake has been fixed in all the places where the "SelectDirectory" is used. Now the Desktop directory is the default one (when needed), but we also can navigate to others directories and drives. Thanks for the advise codex.

1º The debugger address are not changed, then, probably we have here some other issue. Remember that you no need to try it with an external browser (you can do it, of course, and can be very good) but you must view the application running in the debugger browser. My recomendation for now is delete your app's "_Compiled" directory and try to compile it again. If this fail, please, tell me codex.

You're welcome! :)

Hello edunt,

We need such extras if we want to deal with the AdMob plugin, for example.

Hello to all,

Jürgen, update your App Builder copy. Now we can specify the Ant, Java and Android home (one, two or three) in order to be placed in the right way into the generated Batch files. I test right now and works fine, but please, try it by yourself and tell me if this can help you or what.

Hello,

Take a look at the Android SDK manager and look the below "Extras" are installed:

Hello edunt,

The latest releases touch a bit the Javascript core with enhancements to the Gauge control. This means you must delete the "_Compiled" directory by yourself. However, this is not apparently your problem, so, please, post here the error message you get to try to help you.

Hello,

Ok, there will be some issues for AB beginner users i.e if version numbers changed on Java, and Ant, they might not know how to go about it.

Yes; certainly some implementation can cause problems to beginner users. My plain right now is to add these options completely optional: if we define some specific thing like "JAVA_HOME", then the program take care about. If you just ommit these variables, then the generated BAT files continues exactly like now.

Hello Donald,

Apparently there is an option to "[...] join the iOS Developer Program as a Company to be able to add additional developers to the same program". I just read here. Problem can be due to the fact that the company must be a real established company and not just a developers' group of friends.

Hello Jürgen and edunt,

Honestly I never thinking in this before, but, work with Java (and other tools) and also with App Builder did not sound wrong, iust I am never point in that situation and then BAT files works well. But I think your proposal is reasonable Jürgen, so let me some time to consider what can be the best possible solution here.

Hello,

Jordi add this other tip too:

"Out there exists different XCODE versions who works in Leopart, Lion, Mountain or Captain, which is the latest one. Choose the latest as possible is the best because they allow us to choose a better IOS target version. Mainly because it's interesting to minimum choose the iOS 8 version as the target, because before that version they are only the Ipad2, Ipad1 and iPhone4 devices.".

Probably this information can help too.

Hello Donald,

I don't want to say that but you are right: if we wanted to match the iOS platform probably the best option is to have a Mac or at least an iOS device in order to test it, etc. Some useful information below:

Requirements and Support

Apple® tools required to build iOS applications run only on the OS X operating system on Intel-based Macs. Xcode® 6.0 (the minimum required version) runs only on OS X version 10.9 (Mavericks) or greater, and includes the iOS 8 SDK (Software Development Kit). To submit apps to the Apple App Store? requires the latest versions of the Apple tools.

You can test many of the Cordova features using the iOS emulator installed with the iOS SDK and Xcode, but you need an actual device to fully test all of the app's device features before submitting to the App Store. The device must have at least iOS 6.x installed, the minimum iOS version supported as of Cordova 3.0. Supporting devices include all iPad® models, iPhone® 3GS and above, and iPod® Touch 3rd Generation or later. To install apps onto a device, you must also be a member of Apple's iOS Developer Program, which costs $99 per year. This guide shows how to deploy apps to the iOS emulator, for which you don't need to register with the developer program.
