Server News - cordova-fetch, Android, Security Updates

We made several updates to the VoltBuilder Servers over the weekend.

1. cordova-fetch updated to 3.0.1. This module is used internally by VoltBuilder as part of Cordova. Read Cordova’s blog post.
2. Android SDKs and build tools: updated to the latest versions.
3. Security updates: MacOS Operating system updates applied.

You don’t need to make any changes to your project to use the updates: all VoltBuilder jobs are now processed using them.

VoltBuilder Updates

Using a build service like VoltBuilder can a big time saver. We take care of keeping the complex toolchains used by Cordova up to date and in sync. For more information, read this white paper: Why use a Build Service?

VoltBuilder is committed to keeping its toolchains up to the latest versions at all times.

What VoltBuilder does

To start testing your app right away check out VoltBuilder!

VoltBuilder is a wrapper for Apache Cordova and Ionic Capacitor. We make it easy for you to build native executables (e.g., .apk, .aab, and .ipa) for Android and iOS from web apps. You can augment these executables with native code plugins to extend your app’s capabilities far beyond what is possible in Web Apps and PWAs.

Using VoltBuilder simplifies and speeds up your workflow while keeping things framework neutral. As a web service, there is nothing you need to install. We also keep everything up to date so you can focus on building to the latest standards, and make sure to keep you in the loop on things that might affect your build process.

The way VoltBuilder works is simple. Zip your project, upload it to VoltBuilder, and download your Android or iOS executable.
