iOS Xcode 14 and Push Notifications (Updated)

UPDATE: Dec 8, 2022 The problems have been resolved. Updates have been made to the affected plugins. Xcode 14 is working for all jobs now - let us know if you are still having problems.**

On September 18th, a few days after its release, the VoltBuilder iOS servers were updated to use Xcode 14.

The new Xcode release has been working well, with the exception of some plugins which enable Push Notifications. These plugins are complex and may need updates from their maintainers.

If you are using Push Notifications, we’d love to hear from you. If your project is working fine, that is helpful information for us. If not, we have set up a special server to build using Xcode 13.

Please email us at support@voltbuilder.com if you’re using Push Notifications. If you’re having problems, we’ll get you going on the Xcode 13 server.

What VoltBuilder Does

VoltBuilder converts your web projects into native Android and iOS apps. VoltBuilder is a wrapper for Apache Cordova and Ionic Capacitor, so you can add native features to your apps via Cordova and Capacitor plugins.

VoltBuilder's Key features:

• Produces native executables — for easy testing & app store publishing.
• Publish in minutes — VoltBuilder uploads directly to Google Play and the Apple App Store.
• Easily generate certificates — VoltSigner makes Android and iOS certificates. No Mac needed!
• Nothing to install — just head to the Uploads page to get building.
• Nothing to store — we don't keep your passwords, certs, or code in our cloud.
• Always up-to-date — we install and maintain the latest SDKs and tooling so you don't have to.

It's as simple as Upload, Download, Run. Done.

1. Zip your web project.
2. Upload it to our platform.
3. Download the native app or let us deploy it to stores.
