meteor Getting started with meteor Build Mobile Apps
Example
Meteor uses Cordova to package your application into a hybrid Mobile App. Once packaged, the App can be distributed like native Apps (through Apple App Store, Google Play Store, etc.)
- Add the target platform(s) to your Meteor project:
meteor add-platform android
meteor add-platform ios # Only available with Mac OS
- Install the Android SDK and/or Xcode (for iOS, requires Mac OS).
- Run your project (start with development mode):
meteor run android # You may need to configure a default Android emulator first
For iOS (only available with Mac OS):
meteor run ios # This will auto start an iOS simulator
- Build your App package for distribution:
meteor build <output_folder> --server <url_app_should_connect_to>
This will create android and/or ios folder(s) alongside your server bundle.
- The
androidfolder contains therelease-unsigned.apkfile that you need to sign and zip align. - The
iosfolder contains the Xcode project that you need to sign.
