Next we need to create a build.json file. This file will include the operating system specific settings that the Buildbots will use to produce your app.

This file needs to be held in your project root folder - this is the folder that contains the config.xml file and the rest of your Cordova folders that you generated on the last step.

Create build.json File

To create this file yourself, simply create a new blank text file and name it build.json

Copy and paste the code below into your new build.json file:

{
    "ios": {
        "debug": {
            "codeSignIdentity""iPhone Development",
            "provisioningProfile""<UUID of the provisioning profile>",
            "provisioningProfileFile""ProvisioningProfileFileName.mobileprovision",
            "certificateFile" "CertificateFileName.p12"
        }
    },

"ios": {
        "release": {
            "codeSignIdentity""iPhone Distribution",
            "provisioningProfile""<UUID of the provisioning profile>",
            "provisioningProfileFile""ProvisioningProfileFileName.mobileprovision",
            "certificateFile" "CertificateFileName.p12"
        }
    }
}

Note: This example shows iOS only, however you can include multiple operating systems within the one build.json, simply by adding the appropriate JSON structure for "android" or "windows" to the build.json file.

Download build.json

Alternatively, you can download an example build.json file here:

Description of Values

The only fields you need to enter are:

codeSignIdentity:

This is the type of code signing identity used. This may be either "iPhone Development" or "iPhone Distribution".

provisioningProfile:

This is the UUID of the provisioning profile to be used for signing. Open your provisioning profile .mobileprovision file in a compatible text editor (or using command line tools) to find the UUID. 

provisioningProfileFile:

This is the path to the mobile provisioning profile file you generated in the previous step. In this example we've placed the .mobileprovision file in the project root (at the same level as your config.xml file), therefore just the name of the file is enough.

certificateFile:

This is the path to the .p12 signing certificate file you generated in the previous step. In this example we've placed the certificate in the project root (at the same level as your config.xml file), therefore just the name of the file is enough.
