Hello,

Are you tried to prepare the applications as webapps for the Firefox Marketplace? Then the applications can also be installed in every system in which Firefox works, and, also in Firefox OS devices. Take a look at the App Builder's Calculator sample into the Firefox Marketplace.

Hello,

I am sorry, but I can't reproduce the problem here, so, it's difficult to help you. If you like, download Team Viewer and send an email at (info at davidesperalta DOT com) providing your ID and password, then I can connect to your computer. May look the problem by myself can help us.

Hello,

Sorry, I don't understand what do you mean when say "I used Bluestack App Player to run the *.apk". On the other hand, I presume than Videogular (the plugin behind the MediaPlayer Control) take the information from the media file, or maybe such information is provided by the browser, taken first from the media file. Honestly, I don't know what to say. Do you test the application in various browsers? All of them offer the same media file duration? If so, maybe the file information is not completely right or something like that.

Hello edunt,

Please, if you have a different issue, open a new forum thread. Yo no need to worry about any cache at the first place. Also, reinstall the program without solve the problem may did not help. I really don't know what to say, since App Builder works fine here and I do not receive any other similar error report.

However, let me to shown how you can start with the program from scratch, so may the problem dissapear:

1º Uninstall App Builder from the Windows programs' manager

2º Be sure the installation directory has been deleted. Tipically it's located at: C:\Program Files\David Esperalta\AppBuilder

3º Manually delete these directories too:

C:\Users\[Put Your Windows User Name Here]\Documents\AppBuilder

C:\Users\[Put Your Windows User Name Here]\AppData\Roaming\AppBuilder

4º Download the latest release and install it:

After follow the above steps your App Builder installation can be properly named "clean", so, hope the last problem you found dissapear. If not, tell me and may I can help you using Team Viewer, for example.

Hello,

If you try the application in a browser you get a similar result?

Can you try also with other media player and the same media file?

Hello,

Are you using the app's scale option?

On the other hand, maybe it's not a bad good idea to hide the default controls and use our own ones.

Hello edunt,

Also the SimpleAudio sample works well here. What's your experience?

Hello edunt,

Are you sure the MediaPlayer control "Controls" variable is "True"?

The VideoPlayer sample appear working as expected in my Android device:

Hello edunt,

Sorry, but I can't understand very well what you mean. Please, can you explain a little more?

Hello edunt,

Certainly the currently App Builder release has an incipient support for third party Javascript plugins. Currently two plugins are included, a fully functional AdMob plugin (an AdMob application sample is included too), and the Template plugin, something like a template for others plugins. The current available documentation is here. Since we are talking about the first third party plugins support, probably the documentation are subject to changes, fixes and enhancements in the near future.

Hello,

Yes; maybe "Jailbreak" is the word. I can't imagine Microsoft do not allow us to execute whatever we wanted, just like we does on Windows.

Hello edunt,

If the article I linked don't works, maybe it's due to the Windows version in which is based. However, I want to imagine that we can simply copy XAP files into our phones and then execute and install it from there, in a similar way than Android and the APK application's files. If this does not work, maybe the phone need to be "hijacked" in an Apple similar way or something like that? Is very funny how some companies try to protect us by not allowing us to do what we wanted...

Hello edunt,

Sounds good. As I say above I really want to get a Microsoft Lumia 550 to try with Windows Phone too, in that case try with Windows 10. I am not sure how to proceed, but wanted to ingestigate it.

Hello edunt,

Really I can't help you, since I do not have a Windows Phone device at this time nor the environment ready to play with Apache Cordova. Maybe this article can help you? Installing Downloaded Apps (XAP/APPX) on Windows Phone 8.1. I want to buy at least a Microsoft Lumia 550, not to expensive and capable to run Windows 10, which, if I am not wrong, is also a posible Apache Cordova target platform. Then I like to made some tests on it. Please tell me if finally you got it edunt.

Hello Donald,

I am working hard in the next "big" App Builder's enhancement but right now my friend answer me about our question and I want to refer translate here. In fact probably we can't get too much information, but maybe their point of view offers some of them. We need to follow these steps to starts:

1º We need to register an account at https://developer.apple.com/ under the Members Center section; we need to create our Apple ID.

2º Then we need to choose what kind of developer we are by choosing "iOS".

3º This allow us to make applications; we need a license fee of $99 USD every year. My friend say the price is more or less expensive, but, apparently we can upload an application, and, if we do not plain to update it anymore (?), no need to pay the $99.

4º Something to take care about is the name we use as the application's developer. The name we choose can be never changed for the developer account.

5º Then we can access to the developer console. W need to download the latest XCODE version (so we need a computer with the OSX operating system), prepare the development profiles for every application and that's all.

After that we need to upload the applications and register it on Apple iTunes, but, my friend say here, "This is another history"... In principle we can starts with the above steps. In my opinion, we simply can start with the application with App Builder.

I say we can prepare the application (with some particular exceptions) from App Builder, and, when they are ready, we can start with the above steps in order to get ready for the Apple Store. And this is what I can say about this Donald.

Hope this can help to you and possible other people too.
