@cdy44-2

Okay, I've been trying to build the apk with PWABuilder instead.

I can do the build, download the zip file but when I copy the apk produced to the Android mobile, it installs the app okay but the app will not load correctly. I just get a Chrome URL failure page (With My URL). Image Attached.

I tried the tips from @asmat in removing browser address bar etc to see if that would help but it still fails.

Note this is, and I tested 2 others, an app that has worked fine following the PhoneGap build.

Any Idea's on what I'm doing wrong when using PWABuilder?

@paultomo I think the problem is in your PWA URL. What you see is the typical screen of a non existent content.
Keep in mind that your app must be deployed into a web server even after building your .apk.
If you don't want your app to be loaded from a web server then you should use Cordova instead of pwabuilder.

Regards.

Hi @lusihp,

As now the PhoneGap build stop generating apk file,We need to bring a little changes to VisualNEO Web.

1-We do not need zip file instead we should compile them as simple files and folders.

2-We do not need the compiling of config.xml because cordova by itself create config.xml,

but for maintenance of project we need to keep platform option in VisualNEO Web.

3-We need replace text of PhoneGap.js to Cordova.js from index.html.

@asmat, although @shahram sent me a Word document with instructions on how to adapt VisualNEO Web to compile for cordova, it's still not completely clear to me. If you don't mind, once we have completed the hosting migration this week, I will set up a Google Docs document we all can edit together to find the best way to fix VisualNEO Web mobile compilation.
I can share with you beta versions until we are all satisfied with the result.
Although I'm thinking mainly in both of you, anyone with experience interested in helping is more than welcome.
I have not used cordova yet but definitely I must do it.

Do you agree?

Thank you in advance.

Thank you so much for making me aware. I agree. Although my information is not complete, I will do whatever I can.

Hello everybody. I have a project which took me long months; now is ready to be published in the Play Store, but as Phonegap was closed I'm not able to build it (It was the only way I knew to do it).

Is there anyone who can help me to build the zip file? I have been trying to learn other alternatives but has been impossible for me.

 

Thank you!

Hi @fmorals

I think you should use Cordova to build a signed .apk and then publish it to the play store.

1-First of all you should create a Cordova project. you can find a tutorial on the whole process here.

2-compile your VisualNEO Web project as Mobile Application, then unzip and go inside it and copy the whole files except config.xml and paste into the www folder of the Cordova project that you have already created. open your index.html file and then change the phonegap.js to cordova.js and finally saved. see the attachment.

3-how you can make a signed .apk? also contained here.

Thank you very much for your help @asmat

I wasn't able to build in command line. I had this message:

Checking Java JDK and Android SDK versions
ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=undefined (recommended setting)
ANDROID_HOME=undefined (DEPRECATED)
Requirements check failed for JDK 1.8.x! Detected version: 16.0.0
Check your ANDROID_SDK_ROOT / JAVA_HOME / PATH environment variables.

 

Nevertheless I created the project and used another tool called VoltBuilder. Everything is working except the splashscreen. I have been dealing with config.xml without success.
