Getting Started

In this guide, you will learn how to create your first native build using Capawesome Cloud Native Builds.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have:

• A Capawesome Cloud account and organization.
• A Capacitor app in a Git repository.
• Your Git repository connected to Capawesome Cloud (see Git Integrations).

Create your first build

Follow these steps to create your first native build:

1. Navigate to the Apps page in the Capawesome Cloud Console and create a new app if you haven't already.
2. Select your app from the list.
3. Ensure your Git repository is connected to Capawesome Cloud. If you haven't done this yet, refer to the Git Integrations guide.
4. Navigate to the Builds page of your app in Capawesome Cloud.
5. Click on the Build from Git button.
6. A dialog will appear prompting you to select the Git reference (branch, tag, or commit) you want to build from. Select the appropriate reference. You also need to select the Platform (iOS or Android) and Build Type. Choose Debug or Simulator for initial testing.
7. Click on Build to initiate the build process.
8. Wait for the build to complete. You can monitor the build status in the build details page.

Your first native build is now complete! You can download the build artifact from the build details page.

Next Steps

Now that you've created your first build, you can:

• Explore different build types for iOS and Android
• Set up signing certificates for production builds
• Configure environment variables for your builds
• Review the build stacks to understand available tools and versions
