Submitting an app for building

The build command requires users to be authenicated with a BlinkMobile Identity. To login to the Buildbot CLI, see identity-cli for available commands.

Once you have been authenicated, you can submit your hybrid project for building by using the build command.

bm buildbot build supports the following options:

• <path-to-project-root> (optional, defaults to the current working directory)
• --notify [e-mail] (optional, defaults to the address notify command, if unset, a prompt will ask for an address)
• --platforms android,ios,windows
• --buildMode release|debug (optional, defaults to 'debug')

To build a release version:

bm buildbot build [<path-to-project-root>] --platforms <comma-seperated-list-of-platforms> [--buildMode release] --notify <your email>

To build a debug version:

bm buildbot build [<path-to-project-root>] --platforms <comma-seperated-list-of-platforms> --buildMode debug --notify <your email>`

Notifications

To be notified of the result you can supply the email address via the --notify flag for the build command, or you can store the email in the user specific blinkmrc.json file using the notify command.

bm buildbot notify will show the currently stored email address

• [e-mail] will store the email address
• --unset will remove the stored email address

Running the build command with the --notify flag will take precedence over the stored email address.

To display the email address to be notified:

bm buildbot notify

To set the email address to be notified:

bm buildbot notify [e-mail]

Evergreen Updates

iOS and Android applications allow for evergreen updates. This option will allow for resouces to be zipped into a folder per platform

bm buildbot evergreen supports the following options:

• --force (optional, overwrite any existing update ZIPs)

To zip resources for a project:

bm buildbot evergreen <path-to-project-root> [--force]

See the ./docs folder for detailed usage information on each supported platform.
