Hosting your app on VoltBuilder

VoltBuilder Hosting gives your app a persistant place where it can be downloaded.

Normally, apps are only available for download for a short time after they are built. With Hosting, your app will be available for as long as your plan is in effect. This is useful for a organizations which need to make their apps available, but do not want to maintain their own hosting service.

VoltBuilder will return a URL and QR Code (as it does now). You can send these to your customers or employees, who can then use them to install your app directly onto their devices.

Any Android app can be hosted. For iOS, the apps need to be built as Enterprise apps. You’ll need to sign up for Apple’s Enterprise Program. The apps do not need to be uploaded to Google Play or the Apple App Store.

This service is part of the VoltBuilder Enterprise Plan. Please contact support@volt.build to get set up.

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.
