The day we have been wondering about it is finally here. PhoneGap Build is coming out of beta.
It looks like the service will continue to be free if you have a single project and do less than 100 builds a month. For $9.95 a month, you can have up to 25 projects and 1000 builds a month.
You will have to sign up with your own account to do this. It’s not clear how much longer the free PhoneGap Build that is in App Studio will continue to work.
Other than that, it looks like the procedure to use App Studio will be unchanged. Put your PhoneGap Build Email and Password into Deploy Options and it will work as before. (You’ll need the full version to enter these options).
Building apps using the PhoneGap API will continue to be free.
We will keep you updated as this develops.
Here’s the announcement:
