BuildmLearn Store for iOS and Windows Phone

[Rohit Gurnani]

Hello Everyone,

Congratulations for being selected as a mentoring organisation once again!!

I'm Rohit, a Computer Science undergrad at NIT-Surat. I have used the toolkit and it is really good...except that I found that 'upload to store' functionality isn't working.

So I have a few questions:

1. Is there a BuildmLearn store which exists as of now?( Android one is in alpha stage...but not on the play store)

2. One of the ideas on the Ideas Page is developing a store for iOS and Windows. But as far as I know that the toolkit only exports .apk files(android apps). So can the toolkit generate iOS and windows phone apps? Because only then does it make sense to have a store for those platforms.

I'm really excited to contribute and be a part of this community and am looking forward to constructive discussions and proposal reviews in this group.

Regards,

Hi Rohit

Yes, we have the android version of the store in alpha so it isn't up on Play store yet. 

 

2. One of the ideas on the Ideas Page is developing a store for iOS and Windows. But as far as I know that the toolkit only exports .apk files(android apps). So can the toolkit generate iOS and windows phone apps? Because only then does it make sense to have a store for those platforms.

 Good question. The 'export as APK' feature would be discontinued and only the 'Submit to store' feature would be kept in future versions. The toolkit generates a .buildmlearn file which the store should be able to process. Just to make it more clear: building the template apps on iOS / WP is a part of developing the store.
