Exporting your app

Tiggzi makes it very easy to export app source code or get a binary file for Android and iOS (soon Windows Phone). To see the export options, click Export button in the top menu: 


Android

For Android, you have a couple of options:
  1. HTML/CSS/JS - this is basically mobile Web app
  2. Eclipse project (source code) - you will get HTML/CSS/JS + PhoneGap library configred as an Eclipse project. Learn how to open the project in Eclipse. 
  3. Debug binary (.apk) - you will get a binary Android file (with PhoneGap). This app version can be installed only on the device directly. This file cannot be published to the Android App Market as it's missing Android market meta data. 
  4. Release binary (.apk) - this Android binary version can be published to the Android App Market (with PhoneGap).

Android binary APK properties

Before you can publish apps to Google Play Market, you will need to pay $25 registration free. 

To make it possible to generate an Android release binary version of the app, Tiggzi comes with a special editor that lets you enter and edit all necessary Android .apk properties to prepare it for the Android Market. To open the editor, Project view > Project > Project Profile > Android binary APK properties. The editor looks like this:


  • Label - the app name that will be shown when installed
  • Icon - app icon. If not set, a default icon will be used
  • Version code - version number of your app
  • Version name - version name for your app
  • Package name - Java package name for your app
  • Min. SDK/Target SDK/Max SDK version - Android version support for your app

iOS

For iOS, you have a couple of options:
  1. HTML/CSS/JS - this is basically mobile Web app
  2. xCode project (source code) - you will get HTML/CSS/JS + PhoneGap library configred as an xCode project. 
  3. Release binary (.api) - this iOS binary version can be published to Apple App store

iOS binary API properties

Before you can build an iOS binary, you will need to sign up for iOS Developer Program and then provide all developer information and certificates below.  If you are new to this, here are some good very good links to get you started: 


Windows Phone

For Windows Phone, you have a couple of options:
  1. HTML/CSS/JS - this is basically mobile Web app
  2. VS project (Visual Studio project source code) - you will get HTML/CSS/JS + PhoneGap library configred as an Visual Studio project. 
We are working on binary build for Windows Phone. For now you have two options: 
  1. Build the binary yourself
  2. Upload the file to PhoneGap Build 

Mobile Web (Other Platforms)

  1. HTML/CSS/JS - mobile Web app. Download this if you are building for mobile Web or for other platforms such as BlackBerry. This version can also be uploaded to PhoneGap Build to build for any native platform supported by PhoneGap Build. 

Note: All Web resources links will download the same files.
