VoltBuilder supports Xcode 13.2.1 and iOS 15.2
The VoltBuilder servers are now using Xcode 13.2.1, the latest update from Apple. This allows you to build apps for iOS 15.2, which was released this week.
You don’t need to make any changes to your project to use the new release: all VoltBuilder jobs are now processed using it.
Before we went live with the new release, we tested by processing most of an entire day of iOS builds. They executed cleanly, with the same results as Xcode 13.1. We don’t anticipate any problems for you with the new release, but please let is know if you spot anything.
The last version of Xcode supported by PhoneGap Build was 9.2.
What’s New in Xcode 13.2.1
Xcode 13.2.1 includes SDKs for iOS 15.2, iPadOS 15.2, tvOS 15.2, watchOS 8.3, and macOS Monterey 12.1. The Xcode 13.2.1 release supports on-device debugging for iOS 9 and later, tvOS 9 and later, and watchOS 2 and later. Xcode 13.2.1 requires a Mac running macOS 11.3 Big Sur or later.
VoltBuilder provides a high level interface to Xcode, so you don’t have get involved with its installation, complexity and features. We run it on servers with all the latest Apple software, continuously updated.
One important issue which is fixed is for log4j. There is more information here.
What’s New in iOS 15.2
iOS 15.2 has a number of new features, including App Privacy Report, Apple Music Voice Plan, Legacy Contacts, Find My Battery Reserve, Hide My Email, Communication Safety and Macro Mode Toggle.
The builds you make with VoltBuilder will conform to Apple’s latest guidelines for security and App Store approval.

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.
