REQUIREMENTS:
In order to build a Twixl app, first double-check whether you have gone through the following steps first:
- Activate a Twixl user in the macOS App.
- Configure a build setting on the platform. You may need to create an identifier (App ID) on https://developer.apple.com for a new app, or otherwise copy the App ID for an existing app.
- Configure Xcode.
- Create a signing certificate.
- IMPORTANT for users of an 'Apple Silicon' M1 Mac: make sure to first register your device on the Apple Developer Portal, see here.
Building your Twixl App

For Android apps, the following files will be generated:
- the application itself, in two formats, i.e. as an .aab (Android App Bundle)
- the app signing upload key (with extension .pepk)
- the upload public key (with extension .pem)
For iOS apps, the following file(s) will be created:
- the application itself (with extension .ipa)
- an index.html and a .plist file (only if you have selected over the air distribution)
