Please have a look at this thread:

There is a section on build.json in the topic "Building APKs" near the top of this group https://groups.google.com/d/msg/androidscript/znTcLsg4u9M/JK9Q52a7DQAJ

One important thing to note is that the build.json file is optional and it is very likely you do not need one.

No Alex.
It goes in a separate file called build.json in the same folder as your main .js file.

If you are not using the WiFi editor, the easiest way is to use a simple text editor.

[Arjun Gowda]

so finally should i create another folder of text editor and then put these

{

"manifest" : 

{ 

"minSdkVersion" : 18,

"targetSdkVersion" : 21,

"debuggable" : false,

"removePermissions" : "WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, ACCESS_WIFI_STATE",

"homeScreen":false,

"pathPattern":".*\\.jpg,.*\\.txt"

}

}

 into that folder??

If your app name is 'Launcher' go to the DroidScript folder and go to your app folder..,

My example:
/sdcard/DroidScript/Launcher

In THIS folder create a new text file named 'build.json' and place your configuration there.

{
"manifest":
{
homeScreen:true
}
}

Please tell us the exact folder path that your build.json file lives at.

Please tell us your app name.

long press on the app that contains the file, select build apk, and make sure that obfuscate code is checked.
