In some respects this is similar to what Appcelerator Titanium does with Titanium Studio. I don't know how the CI stuff compares though, and I really like that Trigger focuses on command line tools rather than IDE extensions. I'm excited to try it out.
The post was a little confusing though: do you only have to build the native parts once, and then you can update your HTML/Javscript/CSS any time you like and the app will automatically update?
- jamesbrady 15y agoSome changes you make to your app configuration can affect what we need to do in the native code, so when that happens we have to go and do a rebuild on our servers. When you're hacking away on your own code - JavaScript, HTML and CSS - no re-compilation is required and you can have a new app up and running on your device in a matter of seconds. We think speeding up that development cycle is one of the keys things we need to deliver on to keep our customers happy.
- yesimahuman 15y agoHow do you make it easy for me to update the app once it's live (or do I still have to do that by hand)? Do I have to submit a new app to the stores every time I want to push an update?
- amirnathoo 15y agoCurrently, you'd still have to upload new versions to the store manually. We're working on tools to ease that process also, but wanted to stay focused on the simplicity of the initial build process for our initial launch.
