Setting Build Properties

This post is referring to Vahana 2 (beta version). To check the document for production, please go to vDesigner-v1.0

Before creating a build, you need to configure several properties at the following levels:

  • Android:- This section allows you to define icon, version number, version name, loading strategy, and others.
  • Middleware:-This section primarily allows you to configure properties that enable the connection between the application and middleware-incorporated modules, such as vConnect, VRT, and others. Also, you can configure the S3 bucket’s name and ID so that you can store a variety of data, including documents, images, videos, logs, and others, in easily accessible object format.
  • Security:- In this section, you can configure check box-based security-related properties. You can click to select the check box to enable the property. Or, you can click to clear the check box to disable the property.

To configure the build settings:

  1. On the Downloads page, click Settings to display the Settings page.

  2. After you find the environment, click it to display all build-related properties:
