download the result, and cancel it if needed — from the [CLI](/docs/cloud/cli/) or the [Console](https://console.cloud.capawesome.io). Every build moves through a handful of states: **queued** (waiting for a free runner), **pending** (a runner has been assigned and is picking up the job), **in progress** (building), and then a final **succeeded**, **failed**, or **canceled**. ## Track build status[¶](#track-build-status "Permanent link") CLIConsole List recent builds, or fetch a single build to check its current status: `[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-0-1)npx @capawesome/cli apps:builds:list [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-0-2)npx @capawesome/cli apps:builds:get ` `apps:builds:list` accepts `--platform` to filter by `android`, `ios`, or `web`, and `--limit`/`--offset` to page through results. Add `--json` to either command to get machine-readable output — including the related job's status and timing, which is useful in scripts. Open the [Builds](https://console.cloud.capawesome.io/apps/%5F/builds) page to see all builds and their status at a glance. Click a build to open its detail page, where the status updates live while it runs. ## Read the logs[¶](#read-the-logs "Permanent link") The logs are the fastest way to understand what a build is doing — and why it failed. CLIConsole Stream the logs of an ongoing build, or print them for a completed one: `[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-1-1)npx @capawesome/cli apps:builds:logs ` Open the build's detail page to follow the logs live and review them again after the build finishes. See [Build logs](/docs/cloud/native-builds/build-logs/) for more. If a build failed, the quickest way to understand why is [Ask AI](/docs/cloud/assist/ask-ai/), or work through [Troubleshooting](/docs/cloud/native-builds/troubleshooting/). ## Download the artifact[¶](#download-the-artifact "Permanent link") Once a build succeeds, grab its artifact — an `.apk`/`.aab` for Android, an `.ipa` for iOS, or a `.zip` of web assets. CLIConsole Use [apps:builds:download](/docs/cloud/cli/commands/#appsbuildsdownload) with the flag for the artifact you want — optionally followed by a file path: `[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-2-1)npx @capawesome/cli apps:builds:download --apk ./app.apk ` Open the build's detail page and download the artifact directly, or click **Install App** to side-load it onto a device. To install a build on a physical device, see [Install on a device](/docs/cloud/native-builds/install-on-device/). ## Cancel a build[¶](#cancel-a-build "Permanent link") Need to stop a queued or running build? Cancel it to free up your build minutes. CLIConsole `[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-3-1)npx @capawesome/cli apps:builds:cancel ` Open the running build's detail page and click **Cancel**. ## Next steps[¶](#next-steps "Permanent link") * [Install on a device](/docs/cloud/native-builds/install-on-device/) — download and side-load the artifact. * [Build logs](/docs/cloud/native-builds/build-logs/) — read and interpret your build output. * [Troubleshooting](/docs/cloud/native-builds/troubleshooting/) — fix a failing build.
