NodeJS Script to automate deployment of Cordova/PhoneGap application using PhoneGapBuild

pgb-wrapper.js is a generic wrapper module around the phonegap-build-api NodeJS package to add promise support and some helpful functions to make it easier to create a build script.

pgb.example.js is one example of such a build script, but you might decide to do it differently.

You can execute pgb.example.js by:

node pgb.example.js --appId {PGB_APP_ID} --apiKey {PGB_API_KEY} --zipFile {path/to/deployment_file.zip} --iosOverTheAirKey {NAME_OF_IOS_OVER_THE_AIR_KEY_IN_PGB} --iosOverTheAirKeyPassword {PASSWORD_OF_IOS_OVER_THE_AIR_KEY_IN_PGB} --iosKey {NAME_OF_IOS_PRODUCTION_KEY_IN_PGB} --iosKeyPassword {PASSWORD_OF_IOS_PRODUCTION_KEY_IN_PGB} --androidKey {NAME_OF_ANDROID_PRODUCTION_KEY_IN_PGB} --androidKeyPassword {PASSWORD_OF_ANDROID_PRODUCTION_KEY_IN_PGB}

The following node packages need to be installed for it all to work:

  • phonegap-build-api
  • q
  • minimist

This script has been published via my blog post.
