Quickly Build HTML5 and PhoneGap Mobile Apps

Exporting App Source and Building for iPhone 5/iOS 6

Posted: October 5th, 2012 | Author: | Filed under: Features, iOS | Tags: , | No Comments »

A very nice feature in Tiggzi app builder is the ability to quickly build (package) your app for Android or iOS:

You can also easily export the app source for Android, iOS, and Windows Phone 7.

When you a get a binary (.ipa) file form Tiggzi build service, it’s targeting iPhone 4 (we are working on complete iPhone 5/iOS 6 support). However, you can still build for iPhone 5/iOS 6 if you export the app source and build the app in xCode. Here is how to do it.

  1. Export xCode project
  2. Open the downloaded project in xCode 4.5
  3. Change PhoneGapTemplate target settings: “Deployment Target” to 4.3
  4. Change CordovaLib project settings: “Deployment Target” to 4.3
  5. Change PhoneGapTemplate project settings: ”Architectures” to armv7
  6. Change CordovaLib project settings: ”Architectures” to armv7
  7. Build the project
  8. Run it on the device or iPhone 6 simulator

You still need to manually create image [email protected] (640 x 1136 pixels) and link it in XCode settings to your project. Thanks to Eric for this update.
