VoltBuilder Now Supports Unlimited Plugins

Until now, you could only use plugins on the list of approved plugins. With over 1300 plugins listed, almost any plugin could be used. After approval, new ones can be added.

We’ve enhanced VoltBuilder so it can use any valid plugin. If you’re on the Enterprise Plan, don’t worry if your plugin is approved or set up in NPM. You can load any plugin directly from GitHub, from a website or keep them right in your project.

You can now load plugins from the following places:

  • Directly from NPM (approved or not)
  • Directly from a Github repo - no need to set up in NPM.
  • Directly from a website
  • From a folder on your website
  • From a local folder on your computer

This allows you to use plugins which are not published publicly - if you have some proprietary code, it’s no longer a problem.

Full details are here.

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.
