Build different versions of your app with two clicks!
My last app TicBoom! comes as a free and paid version. But to build one of these versions
it was very tedious to go into the code, change a variable that activates or deactivates
the advertisement. Copy and rename icon files, changing bundle identifiers, or maybe copy and
rename different build.settings etc.
For all these annoying tasks I wrote some methods that uses Sublimes cool build
system. After you set it up, you will have in the menu of sublime under
Tools > Build System a new entry for each version you want to be able to
build (like in the screenshot).
To build the paid version of my app, I just have to select the TicBoom Paid Version
in the Build System Menu. Then click build. The Corona Simulator starts with the
paid version of my app, and I have to fill out properly Corona’s build window. In fact
the last step, filling out Corona’s build window costs the most effort now (maybe there
is a way to pre-fill Corona’s build window? Does someone know?) But all the other
tedious tasks as described above can be solved automatically with Sublime.
I wrote a little guide about it on my website.
Maybe someone can use this.
Wish you thousand downloads a day!
