Building an App

Apps are built for the first time when they are created, based on the default code for the App type chosen in the Create App window, and then incrementally as you type. However, there are some cases where a manual build is required to fully build the project—for example, if a dependency is added or parameters have been modified. An App must be built before it can be debugged, tested, and released.

To build an App, click Build Project to the left of the Built section of the Summary tab (Figure 1).

If the build is unsuccessful, a failure icon will be displayed in place of the Build Project icon, and the timestamp will be updated. The project will need to be modified and built successfully in order to proceed with debugging, testing, and release.

If the build is successful, a success icon will be displayed in place of the Build Project icon, and the timestamp will be updated.

Build Log Tab

The log of the most recent build will be available in the Build Log tab (Figure 2).

In addition to the build log, this tab displays the Status of the build (Successful or Unsuccessful) and any Status Message that is available. If a build is unsuccessful, a Rebuild button will be displayed in the tab.
