Building Smartface Projects

Once your build is complete, you can now download the binary file or deploy it to distribute module manually (if autodistribute is enabled, it will be sent automatically after a successful build).

You can also view or download your build logs anytime.Smartface builds work very similar to any iOS or Android builds. Appcircle can build mobile applications developed with Smartface Cloud IDE flawlessly.

Smartface projects are single-code based and can be built into both iOS and Android applications using Appcircle.

caution

Please note that you need to create separate build profiles for iOS and Android outputs for the same Smartface project.

Build Configuration

The overall workflow for Smartface builds is almost the same as the iOS and Android build steps explained earlier.

Signing

In the Signing page, select the proper signing certificates for iOS or Android applications.

Distribution

On the Distribution page, create a new distribution profile or select a previous profile you created earlier. You can also enable auto distribution feature if you need to.

Any previous build can be deployed to the Distribute module without the need for rebuilding

Environment Variables

You can define variables and secrets to be incorporated during the build in the Environment Variables submodule so that you don't need to store certain keys and configurations within the repository.
