I have develop an Cordova App in vs2015 and I'm able to deploy on android, test and publish on Play Store.
So, I attach my remote iMac and compile&build ios platform but I don't find a simple and robust path for deploy.
First of all, to deploy on App Store I need to do it only from iMac... is possible to deploy directly from Win10 after build from mac?
So if it's correct I need to open the .xproject and prepare to send to app store but the .xproject change on every new deploy from VS (the remote_build create a new folder on every build).
There is a very good resource for you to see how to "Package your Cordova app so that you can publish it to a store".
You can learn how to prepare them for Android, iOS and Windows App Store publish.
Here it is at this url: Package your Cordova app so that you can publish it to a store

For automation testing purposes presently I am downloading the latest build from appcenter and storing it in my local. And in the script I am getting it installed on the android device. But this will not workout when I want to run the script through pipeline.
Is there any way to get the apk downloaded directly from appcenter and have it installed into the device.
App Center is a continuous integration, delivery, and testing solution for Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows apps. App Center let developers to ship apps faster and with more confidence by automating the development life cycle.
You can't directly download from app center and install it to android device. But you can upload your application binary package to app center and distribute it. You can distribute releases to individual testers or groups of testers. Azure DevOps uses the App Center Distribute Task for this.
Check Build, test, and deploy Android apps - Azure Pipelines document for more information.
This might be helpful in your case if you would like to upload the build from app center and run your test on real device or simulator:

I am about to create version 2 of an application that was first written using Ionic framework.
I would like to verify one thing that concerns updating the original app on Google Play Store.
When I create a new project in Android Studio :
I should give the same package name as the original app
I should sign with the same keystore and passwords
Is there anything else I have to take into consideration?
Play Store Ionic to Native App Transition :
1.On google play store publishing ionic app are same process as publishing native app.
2.Develop build and deploy any cross platform app(ex:ionic,cordova) and later easily move to native app.
3.In Android Native App build gradle file , package name(application ID) should be same for different versions of app(in your case ionic). Also signing certificate(keystore) remain same during version change.
I have a cordova application for android written in html/js/css. I install a generated apk on a customer tablet, assuming i allow installing apk without store.
I would like to deploy my application versions repo on the file system of my tomcat server.
Is it possible that when my android app starts, i check with a rest api if my app is up to date. If not, i download new apk from my tomcat server to the tablet, i launch apk installation, restart the app, delete download apk file, all that using cordova and plugins ...
Thank you very much for your response!
You can use the FileTransfer plugin to download the new apk and the FileOpener plugin to open and begin installing the update. The examples in those docs should give you what you need.
I am developing an app using phonegap 5.4.1, I found out that there is a overall new documentation for adobe phonegap. I have gone through that and I have created the app using CLI as per documentation see the link below http://docs.phonegap.com/getting-started/3-create-your-app/cli/ and it has been created successfully. While running the app I have installed "Phonegap Developer App" in my device and through this app I can run my app. Check below
http://docs.phonegap.com/getting-started/4-run-your-app/cli/
Now my enquiry is, how can I store my app in the device, as its not getting stored anywhere and if I need to send apks to other device how can I accomplish that. Need help. Thanks a lot in advance.
You need to create an apk with the CLI
cordova build android --release
This will create a debug version that can be run on developer unlocked phones.
You'll need to sign it if you intend to upload it to the Play Store: Here
I am starting to explore the game development using unity 3d for android. I have downloaded the trial version of unity 3.3. I went through few tutorials.
I have one question that is not answered. In the normal apps which we develop using eclipse, we can deploy onto mobile by copying the apk file. What about unity 3d? How do I get the game onto my phone. I don't want to publish on market.
It is possible to transfer your assets to Eclipse. When it's integrated you can debug via your android phone. Be sure to read the tutorial on Unity's homepage. There is a step by step start-up guide and some more. Following links are worth looking at:
Getting started with Unity and Android
Official - Integrating Unity with Eclipse
Alternative link - Integrating Unity with Eclipse
It would seem that the official "integration" link is broken so I updated with a forum post that covers the same topic. However I recommend to try with the official link first.
Yes, you can simply copy the apk to your device and install it. Unity builds an apk file (and will optionally sign it using a keystore that you provide or let it generate for you). Once it has built that apk you can deploy it normally. You can even have it include a customized manifest in the apk that it builds if you want to (but it generates a nice one from your settings in the unity project by default).
There are two methods for this, as far i understand,
Using Build Settings--> Build, It builds the apk file that can be installed on your device using adb install <apk file path and name>
Using Build Settigs--> Build and Run. Which automatically installs the apk built apk file on your device if connected
go to file
-build
-select android platform(your pc has to have android development kit)
-save your apk
As it is still unanswered I try to close this question
First of all, current version of Unity 5.2 is much more powerfull than version 3.3. mentioned in original question.
What about unity 3d? How do I get the game onto my phone. I don't want to publish on market.
The same way. Unity allows you to publish build as *.apk on ocal machine and then you can just copy it to your phone and install it.
What is more cool, now you can debug your application running on phone. You have to install Unity Remote to the phone and run. Now you can set breakpoints and debug as normally.
If you change your mind and go to publish on Market - Unity will sign your *.apk
Hope this helps someone, good luck!
The Same way you generate the apk through Eclipse like that in unity you need to build the project. For that android sdk and jdk should be installed in your system and u need to show those path in the unity Preferences then u need a google keystore and need to sign in with that key store in the Publisher settings and then u are able to build the apk which will be store in your local system and you can copy that to your mobile and install the apk file.
